Super Mario 64 costs far too much

[Hidden_Darkness]

I can top $50 for ocarina of time, I just saw a complete one the other day for $80 at a local game store along with a complete majoras mask for $80 next to it. now thats rediculous.

[VGTM]

50 bucks for OoT?! I hope it was the gold one and complete otherwise you got pretty ripped off. That is not the going price for that game at all.

Nope. The gold one, which I didn't buy, was $100. And that's JUST the cartridge.

[TrekkiesUnite118]

$100 for a cart only copy? I just picked up a cart only copy Gold Ocarina of Time at my local game store for about $20.

Yep one is born every day

Well I guess it is "the greatest game ever made" and all. Perhaps we are the fools.

That's about what it costs in Australia to buy cart only. Don't ask about Conkers...... I am going to a retro store tonight, I will have a look at prices.

[Drakon]

who made you the grammar police? or maybe I should be asking, whats your problem? there are people much worse at spelling on internet forums than I am. I don't recall ever bothering you on here and I have not once insulted you so i'd appreciate it if you would refrain from posting crap like that directed towards me.

I agree it's not that big of a deal. If it's one of the most misspelled words then it's quite a common mistake so it's not like you're dumb for making a very common mistake.

[roguetrip]

The OP fails on this. Who goes to a flea market and actually pays the asking price. You need to learn to haggle with sellers! There's hardly any real flea markets around me but when I was a kid around 9yrs old I remember my big first haggle was a nice bicycle (I think it was a huffy) for $10 bucks in great shape! My mom was pissed yet happy at me.

If the sellers don't realize a little less money today is better than potential money weeks/months/years later then screw them as they are morons.

Hmm, I've got the gold OoT cart with a beat up box and manual for Christmas, is it really worth 100$?

[bultje112]

Yes. A dead end job. I have applied for like 200 different jobs over the past 2 years, no reply, or if I get a reply, they want to pay minimum wage. The biggest problem, is that I could be doing networking, but I never had a professional networking job, and they usually want experience.

that really sucks. no opportunities if you move somewhere else? perhaps even out of the country?

Well I guess it is "the greatest game ever made" and all. Perhaps we are the fools.

lol @ this and repped

Re-railing the thread.

$30 is something I'd expect from a gaming store run by old guys. Which worked to my advantage when I bought Ikaruga from them for $27. However this was at a fleamarket. This is unacceptable. I mean you could probably go over to some other guy and the price would be more manageable. The most I'd pay for Mario 64 is $10. I got it for $5 and it was worth it. However I do have to say the game is overrated. Simply because its Mario means it's good to the community. However I feel the game was a venture into 3D and was not actually that great. It isn't bad, but I'd rather play the older installments over 64 any day.

Alright, I split all of the talk about Sonic the Hedgehog into another topic.

Back to discussion about how video games have just gotten too damn expensive!

[makinagenesis]

if they were too expensive people would not be buying them, items are only worth what people are prepared to pay.

Im after a good few games to finish my saturn and MD collection, and they are expensive ones. Especially PAL region as we have it far worse than you NTSC people. It makes me feel good to know if i'm ever really stuck for money i can get shitloads of money for my games, and the price will only go up. My games are my retirement money as the pension system over here is FUCKED!

EDIT - Basically, if you think a game is too expensive, don't buy it. Go get another one and stop moaning

Yes and (not) repped (I have to spread some around dagnamit)

[old man]

People should just give me all their games. Then they wouldn't have to go through all this expense drama.
