I was out today doing deliveries in Branson, MO., and stopped in at their Best Buy looking for a good combination of buy 2 get one free $29.99 and up titles. While I was there I went through the Wii section and saw not 1, but 2 copies of the Metroid Prime Trilogy marked for $24.50 on clearance. I already bought this upon release, but I started thinking about buying their copies and putting them up on eBay. I immediately thought of those of you on CAG that might not already have a copy, and put the resistance aside.
After all, I didn't know how much people were buying them for on ebay, and I really didn't want to mess w/ebay, as I haven't sold on there for years. So I went on looking for good $30 dollar games for the current Best Buy deal.
I went a little further down the rack, and found yet another Metroid Prime Trilogy in the wrong place. Okay so there are 3 available now. Hmmm...
Long story short, I resisted the urge (or in my case, the headache of charging $75 on the credit card, and explaining to the wife that I would sell them on ebay, and make a profit).
I never moved any of the copies I saw, so those 3 should still be there, there might even be one or 2 more there, I don't know, as I didn't go through every row of games on the Wii display.
That was shortly after 11 am, in case any local CAG's are interested in stopping by there.
I will do some research after I post this to find out if I made a mistake, and the ebay value would be worth stopping by there again tomorrow, but I thought I would be nice and give other people here a chance at them first.
I may regret my decision if I find out that they are going for $100+, and hoarders bought them due to my posting here. Oh well, I have a good job, and already own it anyway, so easy come, easy go.
I did find Final Fantasy Tactics for PSP in the bargin bin, and bought that for $9.99+ tax, so I was happy about that find.
BTW, there were 2 more copies of FFT for PSP in the bin, and FF1 and FF2 for PSP, also in the bin when I left.
Hope this helps someone who isn't just interested in making money off of this.
Yes, I guess this could be in a regional thread, but the fact that they had 3 copies of MP Trilogy could help others who have Best Buy's with similar stock that might not be checking the regional's?
So, read before you flame me for posting a possibly regional find.
Thank you, and YOU'RE WELCOME!
