yeah Typing goes for under $10 easy. The keyboards are generally more expensive -- $15-$20 range, so you lucked out.

I somehow managed to win an eBay auction for Gunstar Super Heroes and Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge, both brand new and still sealed. $13

And yes, both seem perfectly legit.

Dunno, they've had some weird stuff with their system lately. Likely applying a lot of updates. I've had them price an item and it'll sit for a long time and they'll look up the price again in their system and price drop it. I've also picked up games severely undervalued by their system. Usually luck of the draw.

my guess is that since they "recently" sold one, they've decided that it's demand is higher so they've adjusted accordingly? If that is the case, then that sucks bad. LOL. That means that the more retro we buy, the more they are gonna charge us as time goes on. Not cool. I remember Gamestop doing something similar with Lego Indiana Jones on the Wii. When it was discovered that you could use it to soft mod the wii, Gamestop would sell a used copy and then the person would return it, then they'd sell it again and again over and over. At one point, the brand new copy was $20, and the used copy was $40. I asked the manager what gives, and he just said.... ummm... I dunno? LOL.

Gamestop's pricing system is just bonkers. When I bought Space Invaders Extreme 2 DS,used were $8 and NEW was $5. I knew this as someone here pointed it out. When I was in line I kind you not the guy said "would you like to buy the used for $8, oh probably not". I then told him I also wanted the case and manual so I was going to get it new.


Half Price Books
Dick Vitale's Awesome Baby! College Hoops Sega Genesis CIB $0.50
Twisted Metal Black GH CIB $2
It was in a blockbuster case with manual but I had an extra official case
