Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

All GC games have gone up. They regularly have common stock available.
For example,
Resi 1 was €6 now €12
Resi 4 was €12 now €20
Pikimin was €8 now €15
Mario Sunshine was €15 now €25
Eternal Darkness was €6 now €18
Metroid Prime was €8 now €18
Doubledash was €18 now €25
Most others have gone up a euro a 2, even Fifa has doubled in price!
Every PS2 game has also gone up 50c/€1/2.
DS/3DS games also on the rise. Mario Party Island tour 3DS was €25 now €32
If you don't believe me, I can happily attach receipts.
Oh I believe you, I work there. it must be the raise after the drop before Christmas. Prices tend to drop at Christmas to push sales if stock is high enough etc. Then raise back up to increase stock (higher price = better trade in) when low.
I must have missed the drop as without them in stock I'd have to search the titles and remember the individuals.
My bad.
Good news is there is talk of adding SNES/N64/Mega drive games to the system

Prices weren't dropped/raised, I check stock on a daily basis and that was never standard practice when I also worked there during college a few years back.
Higher price doesn't equal better trade value either. Its actually same and in some cases less than what it was previously.
Again, I can dig out receipts to show prices have only gone upwards.
I was more talking about how the pricing works in general. Yes the prices do drop/raise and it would have been the same when you worked there.
Pricing is done both by a pricing team and automatically based on holding across stores etc.
Take Kirbys epic yarn on Wii. Was over €25 euro. Dropped to €12 before christmas then raised back up to €15.
That's the kind of thing I'm on about.
The price increase across the board for Cube software I missed. That's why I said my bad
They have all had a fairly dramatic increase but without actually being in work or checking the website it's easily missed.
Makes sense unfortunately. Like twilight princess was selling for under €60 iirc. It was being snapped up within minutes and appearing in a shop down the road at €100 two days later.
Or Resi 2 on the cube was €15 but being bought and flipped for over €80. Guess pricing finally said screw it and brought them closer to what competitors were demanding.
There is never a chance for customers that call into stores to browse or buy cube games due to 4/5 online buyers who clear out the entire stock daily. Maybe they hope the increase will lead to some sort of balance.
Oh well
Did pick up timesplitters 2 for a fiver on Friday so its not all bad.0 -

Nothing too amazing, but i got a selection of arcade artwork vinyl stickers delivered today. They're actually really nice quality and a nice little thing to have(each is about 15cm long).
Not for me though(although I did get a few spares i might hang onto). They'll be part of a prize over on ArcadeArtwork.org and the facebook page when I get around to organising the rest of the loot 0 -

I got them from http://www.arcadestickers.co.uk/
Postage is a bit steep to Ireland for some reason, but the stickers are good and can even be used outdoors as they are weatherproof(or so the site says).
Another delivery for today, a new Everdrive N8 as my old one was acting up. Printed up a case last night for it, might change the colour and text though

I'm sure they used the same source files I have for the artwork. But no I didn't get them specially printed, they already had then done and in stock.
