That's that about? Are you going to quote the prices of 500yen junk-bin Super Famicoms at Hard-Off, or 4000yen Super Famicoms at large chain shops?

The 300yen copy of Super Mario Brothers at one Hard-Off location to the 1500yen copy of the same game at another Hard-Off location? Heck, the one near my apartment had two copies of Bare Knuckles 2 (Streets of Rage 2, for those who don't know). One was priced at 100yen, the other at 1000yen. Both were boxed and in good condition. The one near my work has the same game boxed for 1600yen. Guess which one I bought?

There are no price standards here. They're all over the place.
Cheap to semi-cheapness is still cheap regardless to us Americans.
My Consoles:
Genesis - Nomad - SegaCD - GameGear - Sega Saturn - Dreamcast - NES - SNES - N64 - Gamecube - Wii - Playstation - PSone & LCD - PS2 - PS3 - Xbox - 3DS
