If it was "just economics" to you, you'd have posted it on eBay and gotten $200+ for it long before offering it at a "discount" to the thread.

Seriously, I don't even think people would gripe too much if you asked for $100-$110 for the thing you paid $80 for. But you're asking for more than double.

You are offering below the average scalper price, but you're still asking for scalper prices.

It is totally logical and sensible to sell something rare or hard to find for a profit. Something being logical doesn't mean people aren't going to think you're a dick if you do it. If you don't care then it's probably not worth continuing to try to argue why you're sympathetic and people shouldn't think you're a dick on an internet forum.

They are rare in large part because of people buying to resell.

And like I said, My budget allowed for the game, but sticking an extra hundred bucks or so in the bank is always a nice thing to have. Jeez, you guys are so easily hurt.

^^^ And I think for stuff like this there should be a limit of one per person, or they should make more to flood the market. But still, people are paying the price.

Do you really think it's not a problem that hundreds if not thousands of people were unable to buy this because of scalpers?

I was able to get my SE order through Walmart (Thanks to the goon that posted the heads-up. THAT is goon comraderie.) but anyone who pays $200+ for this deserves to lose their money. I'm reasonably sure this is gonna get a reprint at some point, especially seeing as how the Japanese version of the SE was reprinted two or three times.

To be honest in the final scheme of things it's a fairly minor problem. The game is available digitally or in individual portions that you can purchase the other part digitally for a discount. And while having a totally physical version is an understandable desire you still can't because the final path is DLC, not included on the combined cart AFAIK. It still sucks that it's a thing but it just amounts to "you have to buy two routes digitally instead of one."

Who says I dont? But the problem of scalping isn't something I run into on a day to day basis so it isn't exactly at the forefront of the stuff I care about :shrug:

Ausgoons; if you're after a cheap copy of Xenoblade Chronicles, Big W is trying to push their stock off the shelves for $30AUD. They're selling the Inazuma Eleven games for the same price too if anyone's after those.

He was even on King Kai's planet for quite some time with Yamcha, Tien and Chaotzu, yet none of them learned the Kaioken technique? You can use it in Xenoverse with any non-Saiyan character so it really is odd.

I was disappointed with the new extreme Butoden game as it seems like every character is pretty much the same. All of them seem to have 2-3 combos for supers, with little depth. Maybe I'm just not 'getting it' but there should be some kind of trading in game or in a manual going over the system if there is more to it.
