... 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.

Yeah, a lot of shops have gone off the rails with prices. The same thing happened with the vintage clothing market. All these folks started selling old shirts on eBay for like $50 minimum, and now all of the thrift stores are picked clean, or are selling those items at crazy prices themselves.

I tend to get games that aren’t in the sought after list and get lucky sometimes. You can still find games at thrift stores if you’re lucky. You just have to hunt and be okay with disappointment lol.
