I know, the gba summon nights aren't too pretty either(the first one is only over 30 but still....). I really need to get my game on and get those atlus and natsume games asap next month.

I've been trying to find a reasonably-priced used copy of this one, but I've actually never seen it in the wild. It's between 30-40 new on Ebay, but it's tough to track down otherwise (for me, anyway).

@retro darn you natsume :lol: they always publish the best games/series(I just wish atlus or natsume would freaking publish the earlier titles in the summon night series since we've only gotten the spin offs :cry: those would play amazingly on a ds....or vita I'm not picky)

I got Lufia DS used at a game store a few years back. Never seen it new at GameStop, Best Buy, etc.

Picked up Lufia DS for around $6 at game stop a few months ago sucks that pretty much everything DS related has had their boxes scrapped though. There are 2 showing within 100 miles so it's getting pretty scarce around here.

Was it complete? If it was, that's a hell of steal - even if it wasn't, that's a nice pick up.

It was game only. Sadly its been a few years since any of the local gamestops had any CIB DS games.

I found a new copy of Curse of the Sinistrals at Kmart of all places. Don't remember how much I paid for it, but it had one of those generic price stickers on it, so it couldn't have been more than $19.99.

Odd mine have cib ds games mixed in with the 3DS games(as in they're side by side and usually to the left). I just haven't bothered picking any up and probably should while they all still have psp and ds games(which it's a miracle some of them even have cib psp games still)...

You can order it new on Amazon for $24.99. Oh, Gamestop, Fools.
Works the other way around as well. Cheapest copy of Planet Puzzle League on Amazon about a couple of months ago was 5-6 dollars plus shipping (cart only). Meanwhile I got a copy at Gamestop for $2.99.

Pokemon Conquest from what I've seen has been difficult to find. Okamiden not so much. Radiant Hystoria's original release with the soundtrack is without a doubt a collectors item but the reprint without the soundtrack is climbing in price.

As far as others I'd target Atlus published games, main series Pokémon games, and Megaman Zero series. That last one has been quite rare for me as ZX series was difficult to track down a few years ago.
I actually saw Mega Man ZX (2 or 3 copies) in a Target maybe 2 months ago. Shocked the hell out of me seeing as though I never see it in stores anymore. Not sure if they're still being sold there. I thought about picking it up but I want to get the Zero collection before I start getting into ZX and ZX advent. It was $19.99 at the time brand new so....who knows.
