Gamecube game prices going up?

[HellHammer]

Go to the Gamestop site to get the current used price and availability.

Actually most of the Gamecube games seems to be holding steady at the used prices at Gamestop. Few such as Pikimin 2 are still at forty bucks used though.

Funny you mention this. I've had GS's Pikmin 2 page bookmarked for almost two years now. Went from $45 aaaaall the way down to $40 in that time..

And let us know how that manager's discount turns out. I may have to try that out myself!

Just an FYI, if you look at the GS sticker, you can read the date that it was printed (and subsequently when it went in stock). You might be able to use the fact that some of the games could have been on the shelf for a while to your advantage. The date is usually hidden as a number like 120610 would be today's date, etc. Good luck!

Wow, that means this new copy of Konami Classics 1 for 360 I bought over the weekend had been on the shelf since 01-07-10.

Well, this is very good news for a Gamecube collector like me! I have well over 100 Gamecube games right now, most of which I, too, bought for dirt cheap. I predict that GC games in general will see a rise in price after they leave Gamestop shelves.

I also have a big spreadsheet of all the games I aim to collect and their prices (which I update occasionally off of vgpc). I hadn't updated Gamecube in a while (about 24 games on my list); after updating the entire value of these was only $13 higher than a month ago. Spread out over 24 games it's just a .50 cent increase over a month or so... although before I believe it was always dropping. So not a big increase but also didn't decrease.

I don't recall when but I got Pikmin2 at Gamestop for $10 maybe around 2006-7. Seriously can't recall though (got Pikmin1 at the same price).

That's pretty much how I felt the first time I realized it. Although, I was fortunate to snag a copy of Fatal Frame 3 earlier this year the day after they put it on the shelf!
