RE: Gen 3 Games $100+ WHAT!?
Because they are brand new and factory sealed games. They don't make those games anymore so if you want it new you have to pay for it.
You can buy them pretty cheap used though.
Edit: I can't say that I'm 100% sure if my reason right, but if it's wrong then somebody please correct me, thank you.

They're still like $20-25 Used at most stores because of their popularity.
Also Afro is correct for the price Sealed

So a used R/S/E would still go for like $5 though, right?

RE: Gen 3 Games $100+ WHAT!?
I was just more concerned with this, because I recently sold some Gen3 games, and I was hoping that I didn't get jipped. But I understand everything now, Thanks!

RE: Gen 3 Games $100+ WHAT!?
If you sold them at GameStop, you got jipped.
I sold an unplayable Bionicle game for $2, and an ATV game for around $3. Came back a few months later, and they're still sitting there, now at $7 and $10, respectively. >.>
Edit: @below I know it's a profit, but it's just so sad that it has to be that way, when compared to Amazon (that involves much more effort, and a possibility that you won't sell, but it still gets you a lot more). Also, I'm not sure if it was Maze of Shadows, but I want to say it was just the original Bionicle on GBA.
You're definitely right. They're just collectors who have decided to sell a sealed game that has been out of print for a long time.Afro-G said:
As mlouden said, no. Always $15-30. And if you ever buy at GameStop for used games, even higher now that they aren't accepting GBA games.safariblade said:

RE: Gen 3 Games $100+ WHAT!?
If those games are sealed, it would make sense that the prices are higher. Just an average used Gen 3 game goes from anywhere between $15 and $30, yeah.
/me has nothing else to say at this point.
It's called "making a profit". Also I believe it's spelt "gypped". (Out of interest, is that Bionicle game called "Maze of Shadows"?)Chariblaze said:If you sold them at GameStop, you got jipped.

RE: Gen 3 Games $100+ WHAT!?
Not sure on the price difference but used GBA games around here cost about £3 per game. If you want it boxed but used it's like £5. Factory stuff, i'm not entirely sure but I think it's around £30
Heck, GB games are like 50p per.

Listening to some of those prices, because the Gameboy Advance is region free, if you can get a good P&P price then, I suggest that people living in America should buy some Gameboy Advance games from Europe. I was lucky enough to get a used Pokemon Emerald game from the Country that I live in for 10 euro.

eBay has some pretty good deals on old used Pokemon games. And if you're looking to sell, try selling on there. I sold all of my older gameboy games for over $20 each.

WHAT, why so pricy? These games are the best, even better than Black and White in my opinion. I sold my Ruby and Sapphire, but I kinda want to buy them again! No worries they will be remade!
