Where to buy lots of NCAA Football 2k3 (for Gamecube)?

I work at a local video game chain and came across an unusual price today. NCAA Football 2k3 for the Gamecube sells for $49.95 used at our store and we offer $15 credit for trade-in. We notified corporate about the strange price and they said that it was actually correct.

I don't know where they get their prices from (maybe it's rare within the company?), but a quick check on Amazon tells me that I can buy it online for as low as 70 cents. Obviously, there's money to be made here. :O

I see plenty of sellers on Amazon for less than a dollar, but buying from each of them makes for a lot of shipping costs. I'm not looking to buy an outrageous number of copies, but 5-10 would make for a nice bit of store credit before they realize they have enough expensive old sports games that they'll never sell.

Anyone know a single seller that might have a few copies of this on hand? They need to have the box and instructions for the full $15 and I'd want to pay $2 or less per copy (I don't want to invest too much into this in case they figure out how ridiculous their price is before I get the games). I considered Gamestop, but I don't think I can trust them to have the boxes and instructions included.
 
So basicly what you are saying is you want to openly take advantage of your employer? Nice to see that you have high moral standings.

I've done it with to Gamestop with some cheap games I've bought elsewhere and come out ahead thanks to trade-in specials. I don't think this is really any different, aside from the fact that I work for them. I certainly wouldn't do it to some small mom and pop store, but when it's a corporate chain that already makes a ton of money off its customers (with trade-in prices less than a dollar for items that are sold for $20 and up), I don't really feel so bad making a little extra trade-in credit through a loophole. We asked and they confirmed that the price was correct, so it's not like it's a big secret. I'm not stealing cash from the register or anything criminal like that.

Anyway, I could see how this would come off as a little shady, so feel free to ignore my request. I just thought it might be worth asking.

Oh wow, that would make a lot of sense after checking Amazon prices for that game. It looks like Corporate gets just as confused sifting through all those white-cover sports games as I do. :p
