Wtf gamestop sells new games as used?CRTGAMER wrote:Kore Gang and Deadly Creatures have no stickers, were they sealed? If both are pristine, I suspect they were new and sold as used. The list is growing on possible new Wii games that are sold as only used at Gamestop.SNKnicotine wrote:Look what i found at a Gamestop in a small town i was passing by!![]()
Kore Gang and Deadly Creatures has been established that are getting hard to find, but i think Castle of Shikigami III, and Rockstar's Table Tennis are also going to be valuable .
I picked up Tounament Of Legends for $2.50 at BookOff. One of the few fighters for the Wii and has a mythology theme which makes it different from the norm. The action is so so, but I think it has a low print run and exclusive to the Wii maybe making it valuable later on?

Nice I've been looking for a copy of "Calling"FerretGamer wrote:Anyways, over the weekend I had some really nice pickups on the rare Wii games front. I managed to snag an essentially mint copy of Calling for the Wii. I told the guy behind the counter that there are maybe 4-5 copies of Calling available in a 100 mile radius. I also grabbed a whole bunch of other games that I'm just too lazy to list.

Edit: sorry I meant the girl with the bear, I was think of Silent Hill for the Wii

Re: Too early to start talking about rare/valuable Wii games
This happened to me last week when I picked up Wii Music. I brought a $4.99 used copy to the register, but the employee pulled out a brand new copy from a drawer and rang it up as a used game.Jmustang1968 wrote: Wtf gamestop sells new games as used?

Madworld, Super smash bros: Brawl, and Sonic colors.
I think down the line 10 years from now these games will be worth something, especially if sealed.

Well, used at least, Smash Bros will hold its value and I know this because the first two have despite selling well. Madworld, maybe. Maybe not. Sonic Colors? Seriously doubt it.TheVisualante wrote:Madworld, Super smash bros: Brawl, and Sonic colors.

Re: Too early to start talking about rare/valuable Wii games
I'm not feeling for those either...but I remember passing on multiple $10 copies of Earthbound when I was a teenager <seriously, who would want that game?>...so, you never know...BoringSupreez wrote:Well, used at least, Smash Bros will hold its value and I know this because the first two have despite selling well.

This is done sometimes so Gamestop doesnt loose money. If the suggested retail price of a game becomes to low, Gamestop will move all of their new copies of the game to their used category so they can set their own price for the game. This usually happens when the retail price goes below $5.

Madworld was/is regularly sold for under $10 new and is one of the worst games I've ever played. I can't imagine people would pony up much for it in the future (sealed or otherwise).

That's a bold statement. I have not spent much time with it, but I thought the art direction was at least interesting.dsheinem wrote:Madworld was/is regularly sold for under $10 new and is one of the worst games I've ever played.
