So 65 is too much isn't it? Even if its mint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Not too much for retail probably, but "refurbished"? Who are they kidding? At the very least and before making such a claim, you think anyone is cleaning out the cartridge port, cleaning the shell, opening up and cleaning the contacts inside the controller and cleaning its shell?

0078265317 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Well as long as they offer 30 days or something it ok. Or was did it used to be 90 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 And if you decide to sell it to them to get credit off of it they will give you $4 for it. I haven't been to a gamestop since 2006. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algus Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 If I'm gonna pay expensive retail prices for used gear, it's gonna be at the few (only?) mom and pop game shops left in Phoenix, certainly not at Gamestop. But eh, if retrogaming is popular enough that the Stop is going to start carrying the stuff again, I guess I can't complain to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I called them and they said 30 for my used super nintendo. Even if its yellowed. Doesn't matter. So about half not bad. And 24 for my dreamcast I read online. Not bad. I paid 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya but that was 2 controllers and 4 games. Gamestop is only 1 controller and no games. So slightly high, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRTGAMER Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 One of the Gamestops in my area actually has SNES and N64 carts for sale right in the store. Some gorilla and plumber titles. Looking in the cabinet, funny how I bought those same games when they went clearance for a few bucks a piece at the very same store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoshiChiri Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) If I'm gonna pay expensive retail prices for used gear, it's gonna be at the few (only?) mom and pop game shops left in Phoenix, certainly not at Gamestop. But eh, if retrogaming is popular enough that the Stop is going to start carrying the stuff again, I guess I can't complain to much. My thoughts exactly- although I am going to complain a little bit, seeing as Gamestop selling this stuff again might dry up what little not-collectors priced stuff is around my area. Plus I don't like the whole 'online only, condition not noted' thing. If they can help set a baseline so prices don't rise too high though, it's worth it. Edit: Nevermind, I just found the listing for Bomberman: the 2nd Attack. There goes that idea...

thadsilverfox Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ya but that was 2 controllers and 4 games. Gamestop is only 1 controller and no games. So slightly high, In my opinion that is too high. I would have listed my complete system at $49.95 with no games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leods Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I always think: 30 bucks for an old game? no way. If it's expensive what's the Point of going with the old stuff? Then I look at the latest Releases at 60 Dollars, with all the bullshit DLC and crap, and that awful gameplay, and suddenly Retro doesn't seem that expensive anymore. People are paying 400 bucks for These broken consoles, 65 for a good one seems like a great deal. I don't think it is, don't get me wrong, but I understand how Prices go so high so fast. If there's Hype they can do it. That is the reason why my largest collection is for the PS2. The System isn't "cool". So old games sell mostly for the Price of old games... I'd love to get an SNES, but with common games selling for 20 bucks cartridge only it's hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatPix Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I think he meant PS4 and Xbone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leods Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I meant xbox one and PS4. Completely flawed, but selling great. If I absolutely needed to buy a console I think even for the same Price I'd still rather have an SNES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I paid $60 or $70 for a boxed Streets of Rage 3. It was definitely worth it and I've gotten my money's worth with the number of times I have played it with buddies. Another game I paid through the nose for was Adventure Island 3, which I think I paid $70 (aforementioned mom and pop gaming shop). Again worth it. They had the game at their other store in the East Valley and brought it over for me specially (~without~ me having to pay up front). Hard to beat that kind of service. I don't mind paying new game prices for some of these harder to find old games if I know I'm going to get my money's worth in gameplay. Now some of the rubbish games that go for megabucks because of their obscurity, f that noise lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
