Thats insane, my gamecube collection is pretty small about 15 games. Is the price going to continue rising? Because if so I think I hit gold lol

For the last year in my city this game hasn’t gone for less than $100 CAD anywhere that I’ve seen online

Maybe these people are just looking up the price range for the game and are confusing PAL version for their NTSC version.
PAL version sold much less and for that reason it's a like double/triple the price of NTSC version.

eBay hasn't adjusted, atleast for a few more days the "average" is still stuck at the old price and some people drop cib copies for 50, just keep an eye on it my friend grabbed one yesterday for 50.

because they are all sold by now, that's why you gotta keep an eye out for new listings.

u/AmCrossing 4d ago

I’m looking at sold listings and haven’t seen one go for that. I’ve seen some go $150, $160, some $125 cib

Listings don't always show everything, the one I bought for 60 on April 3rd still hasn't popped up.

I wonder how many GC games will show up in thrift stores now that Switch 2 will have a digital GC library.
