You can snag Muramasa, at least, http://shop.bresoftware.com/wii-Muramas ... nst-u.html

Read up on the site, they have lots of replacements (taken from actual loose games, not reproductions or photocopies)

They have sales once in a while which help with the prices, just have to be patient.

It's hard to say if the window for cheap Wii games is closing or not. Logically, I would expect games to be at a low point now, or maybe in another year or two. But many are above MSRP from the few liquidator sellers on Amazon and you have to turn to eBay for really clean copies that might run $20 to $40 bucks and beyond. And I don't mean collector fodder like My Horse and Me Gold or Fritz Chess. I won't name titles, but suffice to say, I've been buying clean CIB copies on eBay (and then recasing them in fresh NoA online store cases) much more in 2014 than before. Fortunately, I'm just about done. Of course, that's what I said 100 games ago. :lol: But what prices for games like Unlimited Adventure or Calling (by the way, I played Calling when it was a $35 game... I hated it...) tell me are that the collectors, speculators, hoarders, etc., are already "here".

I was looking through my Wii "remaining games" list and in doing some research, find it interesting that NBA Jam consistently sells for between $10-$15 and with regularity on eBay. I'm trying to think of the market there - Wii completists? While the NBA Jam series transcends the yearly sports-type games, the price still struck me as a bit high.

I think that would be the best place for it.

Recently won a complete like new links crossbow training in the box for $4.99. Cross that one off the list.

Also finally got Mario Sports Mix and am close on having a Mario Strikers (white label). Getting closer to wrapping my collection.

I can beat that. I found a wii zapper at the Salvation Army for two dollars. Then I went to gameplop and bought Link's crossbow training for 75 cents.
