That makes sense, I was just surprised to see it going for that much. I bought a new copy to play a couple of years ago and still haven't got around to open it, I'm wondering if I should sell my new copy and pick up a used one later on. If it's like Mario's Picross for the Gameboy I know I'll enjoy it.
I also have Hotel Dusk, I'm actually a bit annoyed it got the re-release as I thought I'd have a cool game that would be actually somewhat rare. I remember it was available pretty much everywhere around where I am but it practically sold out in a few months. It's still a cool game but it's dirt common now.
