The Cash Converters shop in my town is like this. For example, they had two loose copies of Star Wars Arcade 32X. One was $3, the other? $15.Weekend_Warrior wrote:Yeah, their prices do tend to range from either ridiculously over-priced to super steal. I'm actually convinced that they re-price their games every few weeks or so. Because one week, I'll walk in one of their stores and want to grab everything off the shelf and put it in my basket cause they're all dirt cheap. Then a few weeks later, I'll visit that same store and be totally disgusted by their prices and come out empty handed.aisforaquabat wrote:I was in Minnesota for the weekend visiting a friend. We hit up a bunch of Pawn Americas. Each location prices games wildly different from the others. At one, Super Mario Bros. for NES was priced at $10, and at another my friend got Chrono Trigger for $8.

I pointed this out to the owner, who is a complete tit who breathes over the shoulders of pretty much anyone he sees going through the 8/16-bit game case. He says, "I guess you are just lucky." How am I lucky to pay regular market value on a common game????? $3-5 is correct for that game, not $15! That was last summer. The $15 copy is STILL there, because nobody is stupid enough to pay that much for a cheap and common game.
They literally (I've seen them do this and had it explained to me by an employee) check on ebay whenever they get games in that they don't "think" they know the prices for, and then add a dollar or two to compensate for "shipping."
I guess the odd idiot who prices things there must mistakenly prices based on a starting bit. I once got a CIB pair of SMS 3-D glasses from there for $10.
