All that debate over the NES Classic and it turns out nobody could buy one anyway, not for less than $250. Amazing. The whole wannabe pawn star thing must be even more popular than I thought if there are enough of the scum to buy up the entire Earth's supply of a thing Nintendo must have made a few million of by now.

Since release, my store has received 5 units, maybe 6. Its a miracle the retail price hasnt gone up, as europe only has a recommended retail price, with every store free to set a higher/lower one.

When the Amiibo craze was at its height various Saturn stores in Germany actually did just that. They probably would overcharge the Mini too, if only they could actually stock them.

Thats Just it, They are not. Whenever anyone gets them in stock, they are always 59.99. Of course im talking about the bigger names in retail, so it would make them look bad to raise the price. It still surprises me though.

My like one gaming friend went on a trip with his office crew to some major story in Seattle a month ago and they all bought one for retail price. He doesn't seem to want his. I told him to eBay that sucker but I don't think he has. : P I guess if I was smart I'd buy it from him and do it myself.
