      I have never been to a game shop with prices based in reality. They upcharge the hell out of their stuff and it’s insane.

        Thrift stores used to be pretty good. It was a flat few dollars per game the last time I looked at them.

          Yeah, used to. But people figured out years ago that old copies of pokemon go for 100€+ on ebay so they are basically hunting every thrift store or flea markets for elderly mothers who sell their sons stuff who moved out 10 years ago and hasn’t bothered picking his old stuff up.

      … all of them priced like brand new games. Some more expensive than their original retail price, thanks to inflation.

      At least that’s the case in my local used game shops.

      But that’s okay. I can find plenty of booty to plunder on the high seas.

        Less thanks to inflation and more due to scalpers who will buy them and flip them on ebay if they’re not
