DJ_O, in the box or in loose? In loose I got a SMW for like, 5€. Where are these shops?

Don't try the "Les Puces" of Marseille, too few things. I only saw 2 PS1 and some R4 for 3DS... :/

Loose. Normally loose at the time I saw the $40 copy, it was supposed to cost between $25 and 30 and when you buy a SNES a free or cheap copy usually comes with it. But again it's not as bad as Zellers charging $59.99 for it in 1997, when SMAS was $39.99, but again in 1997 the canadian dollar was worth $0.65 US dollars and Final Fantasy III was $149.99.

Actually to be fair, $149.99 was brand new, since at that time Zellers didn't sell used games (it's a department store like Walmart but only 3 Zellers store are remaining now), so today it would probably be $20000 or something, but it was still expensive for a game even in Canadian dollars. Normally, a recent SNES game not made by Nintendo nor Rare was $89.99-99.99, the sports games usually being the most expensive. This was pretty much $59.99-$69.99 in US dollars back in the days.

I have now gotten Motorstorm Apocalypse. Finally, it's not $50 anymore (it was $18). I also got Hyperdimension Neptunia V for $30 (was $50).

a few years ago, I got The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition for 12€
this gamecube disc contains:
LoZ 1
LoZ 2
LoZ Ocarina of Time
LoZ Majora's mask
and a Wind Waker demo.

I checked later on the internet, I could've easily sold it for ten times the original price.
current e-bay price

If it is factory sealed. Otherwise it is not worth that much.

Actually most opened copies costed around $70 on Ebay two years ago, but now it seems to have dropped in price (usually $40), unlike the Windwaker+Oot bonus discs combos.

The English (North American) version of Pokemon Heartgold (2010 Nintendo DS remake of Pokemon Gold) is also ridiculous. Most opened copies on Ebay are now $100, even without the Pokewalker. The French version sold in Quebec and France is much cheaper, tho ($40 brand new sealed, even with the Pokewalker). On the other hand, for Zelda A link to the past, it's the French NTSC version that is more expensive (since it was only sold in Quebec)

I just got instruction manuals for Legend of Dragoon, Super Mario World (missing the cover) and Star Wars Episode 1 Racer for $1 each and I also found Karnov, Excitebike for the NES and some Chinese or Japanese 63 in 1 pirate NES cartridge.

Also The Last Story Wii a few days ago.

Friday I got Opoona for the Wii (never heard of that RPG until that day), as well as three boxed NES games (Captain Skyhawk, Wrath of the Black Manta and Rolling Thunder).

I got fruit ninja for the TI-83 Plus SE lol.  Also, AOE3 for PC is a great game.
My name is Josh and I a developer at Moonzean. I enjoy Radiohead, web development, Java, and cryptograms.
Spoiler For No Surprises, by Radiohead:
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us

I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit
My final bellyache

With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

I now got the following:

Inindo: Way of the Ninja for the SNES (this game looks like a NES game O.O)
Timeslip (SNES)
Rayman Legends for the PS3 (at last, I could finally find a copy that isn't $59.99. it was $19.83 actually).

[unrelated]
(this is the point where I realize I finished LoZ:OoT and LoZ:MM on my phone's emulator. you know, the stuff than handles like a smoothing-iron because your thumbs hide half of the screen and you can't feel the controls like you would on a physical controller)
(one day, I will pay 50 cents for every savestate I used on this emulator. this day, I will be bankrupt)
