Well, the two stores that I found admitted they had some but 'they were in the back and not out for display'. Which is why I'm asking. I don't really like calling GSs at all so if someone has been to one in my area with them out, I'd prefer that.

my local GS had crap games left... tsk! totally missed out.
hope in the near future, game cube ones gets this kind of deal too.

The one store I've been to in the KC Metro area that actually had quite a few just printed off a list of what they had in stock since they weren't on the floor to look through.

I'm hoping for an eventual PSP drop at some point.

I was talking to my local gamestop employee and they were talking about clearing out inventory of gamecube games within the next couple of months actually...

I was told they'll stop taking trade-in's sometime in April while in Gamestop tonight.

Also, if anyone is willing to sell me Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, please pm me!

Ya same here, want to pick up some first party titles dirt cheap

FWIW the used systems are NOT part of the sale. I scanned the refurbished AND the regular pre owned and neither were at 75% off.

My local GS said they didn't have any games. Told me to go to a collectible/toy shop.

Several of the stores around here have had their Gamecube games in boxes in the back for weeks now waiting for word on when and where to ship them so they're definitely on the way out.

Saw that they had pokemon emerald online at my local store and called only to find out it was accidentally shipped to the store and that it was for a customer in another state. :(

Grabbed Puffy AmiYumi Kaznapped today for $1.25. I was happy just to find a store near me with a few games left out in the display case. All the ones closer to me were apparently pretty much cleaned out in one shot by a hoarder according to the employees. Aarrgghh.

I heard from a Gamestop Manager (a friend of mine) that sometime in April, Gamestop will officially stop taking Gamecube in trade. Just a FYI

One store I went to looking for GBA games actually had a sign out saying they stopped taking Gamecube games this past Monday. It's great news to me, since I only have three Gamecube games right now and I would love to get some more cheap.

More on topic, I actually found quite a bit of decent GBA games today when I went to return a few things to Gamestop. This store said they were being sent GBA games from a bunch of other stores, so that's why they still had a decent selection. I think most notably I got Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku 1 & 2 double pack, which on Ebay would cost >$20.

Since this turned into a little bit of a gamecube discussion here is the message from the gamestop website. It is at the bottom of this page: http://www.gamestop.com/collection/trade-in

Thought all the stores in the KC Metro area didn't have anymore GBA games. Tried the online store locator for the Pokemon games and it said nothing within a 100 mile radius of the zip code I punched in.

I only checked out the stores in the Independence, MO area. The only one that had more than 10 GBA games (that weren't all shovelware) was the Gamestop out off 40 Highway. That's where I ended up getting the games I picked up.

I asked about Pokemon, and all they had was some Pokemon Pinball or Dungeon Mystery game. Clerk checked the nearest locations that might of had some and they were all 2-3 states away.

Wasn't there a note earlier in the thread about the DBZ double pack possibly being a counterfeit game? Might want to double-check it.

99% of stores that still have gba games were sold out of the normal pokemon games a long time ago. They're the most popular games for the system - they're not going to last to 75% off.

If you are really looking for some, you can occasionally see them for fairly cheap on Craigslist from people that don't necessarily understand their value.

On the side-note of the upcoming Gamecube trade-in retirement. Is a refurbished system worth the 29.99 they are listing on the website? I have some Gamecube games (primarily the Resident Evil games), and I just play them on my Wii. Not sure if I really need the Gamecube in that situation, or would it be a decent system to just collect?
