How Cheap is Your Gamestop/Funcoland for Nes-Genesis-Snes?

[liquidmetal]

I see many people talking about how much they got there games at Gamestop/Funcoland for. Different stores have different prices.

My 2 Gamestops i guess are considered cheap, although the one in the mall blows for old stuff.

THis is how my Gamestop does it.

Any NES game not in there database goes for 3 dollars. Any one in there database goes for what ever it says. But theres only about 400 games in the database so obvisly many are priced at 2.99. Tetris is 5 dollars, but the employe that never noticed it was the tengen version still proced it at 5 dollars 8-).

Any Genesis game not in there database goes for 3 dollars too, and Snes...jesus.....10 dollars per game average..why, i dont know.

Those are my Gamestop/Funcoland prices for games..post yours too

All prices should be the same between stores. And they shouldn't be buying in those they don't have in their computer. Tengen Tetris vs. Nintendo Tetris vs. Tengen PacMan vs. Namco Pac Man. It's all the same to us, there's no "publisher" name next to the title of the game, just:

91XXXX Super Mario Duck Hunt <NIN> .29

(where the XXXX are the other four digits, I don't remember)

That mall store should be buying in older games if someone brings them to them, then they just box them up and ship or hand carry them to the strip-Gamestops.

Seems prices/variety varies greatly from store to store here in the Twin Cities. I'm close to about 5 Gamestops. I posted recently about finding a CIB Genny Dracula for $3 & right next to it, SNES Drac loose for $5. Another GS had Super Punchout (SNES) for $15 loose. Seems high, so I borrowed it from my bro-in-law. NES is pretty sparse, tho I was told at one GS to visit a DIFFERENT GS farther away for a bigger selection. I do have another store, in competition w/ Gamestop, that gets about half my business- loose Genny carts/$2.50 ea. I'm sitting on a $16 store credit there.

But, besides swapping & eBay, whaddyagonnado for retro games?
