our free market economy is strong.

>>329169978
Well they successfully managed to keep me away from the game, take it as a good or bad thing however you want..
>>
>>329170313

Makes no sense, the original game is still available at retail price.

I wish the worse personally but I never support them since I never had to deal with this.

inb4 moralfag, call it that but you won't change my mind
>>
>>329169978
Scum, but also symptomatic at Nintendo's failures to either price well or print well.
>>
I like them, they make /v/ rage like crazy.

The other day a piratefag was giving moral lessons to scalpers.

It was hilarious.
>>
>>329169978
It's annoying, but I was able to hack my 3ds anyways.
So no loss.
>>
>bros
>>
>>329171081

I don't get this.

If you hacked your 3DS and played all versions how does it annoy you?

The artbook is available online and the pouch looks like trash.
>>
Eh. I mean, it's the people buying that shit who's at fault, not the sellers. They are just supplying a demand.
>>
Remember the amiibo fiasco? How many of you actually bought amiibo for more than 20 dollars?
>>
>>329169978
Give it another 6 months and the prices will steadily decline. Merchants hate getting stuck with inventory.
>>
>>329171690

This is the LE we talking about though.

What makes it special is how all 3 games are in a single cart.

Everyone else either downloads or buys 2 copies of it.

It's a collector's wet dream.
>>
Sold the poptart Animal Crossing 3DS for $450. Some Nintendo fans are idiots
>>
>>329172232

People actually liked that shit?
>>
>>329172535
Did you remember all the threads about the game at launch?
>>
>>329172535
Nintendo understocked and thousands of preorders were cancelled.
>>
>>329169978
I scalp occasionally to get a little money for less important purchases. I don't mind at all since it's mostly idiots that seem to fall for it.
>>

Geesh I thought /v/ was being sarcastic when they said they actually liked it.

they're cool in my book
>>
>>329169978
I felt conflicted when I sold my pre-order for $230; on one hand I made a nice profit and still got the jap version via cia, but on another I supported Nintendo and did something I would hate happen to me.
>>
>>329173525
You didn't really support Nintendo since all the collectors editions were sold. That guy would have bought FE.Fates if you didn't sell one to him. And now that you sold your SE, he's not buying it himself.
>>
>>329169978
Is that guy on top demanding an extra $20 for fucking keychains?
>>
>>329173993
Its a collectible, and still cheaper than importing the keychain sets from JP
>>
>>329173298
>BTFOing people who put up with the jewiest shit Nintendo has ever pulled
By being even more jewish?
>BTFOing people who don't know how to pirate
People aren't buying it for the games.
>>
>>329169978

It's not the scalpers fault that people will pay $200 for Fates SE. Too bad Nintendo can't fucking stock games worth a shit. Even the normal additions seem to be suffering stock issues. I own Birthright and Conquest, but I like to look around in stores when I'm out. I NEVER see any version of Fates in stores.
>>
>>329171509
They're not, though. What kind of supply is there for recent second hand games at exorbitant prices?
If the scalpers hadn't porously dried up the supply of SEs by buying them in bulk, the people who wanted them could've just preordered it from a store.
There would still be second hand games being sold, since the game is shit and anyone with half a brain would want to get rid of that censored shit, but that's not the same as buying games like you're playing pretend stock market.
>>
Pretty annoying to me, I had a preorder with FUCKING GAMESTOP that was cancelled. I mainly blame Nintendo though because for some reason they don't fucking like money, I know for sure they still made a good profit off the LE's, just fucking print more, making them so scarce doesn't do anything for your sales except hurt them.
>>
>>329171951
considering the fact that revelations is download only and was never released on physical as far as i know

shit is a collectors wet dream
>>
>>329169978
I think I made good profits
>>
>>329169978
Only retards wil buy this censored crap
>>
>>329174943
revelations is on the cartridge fire the special edition though
>>
>>329171951
>What makes it special is how all 3 games are in a single cart.
Wait, really
>>
>>329175345
Yes, which meant that the SE copy could play Revelations before those with regular copies
>>
>>329175345

It's also way more immersive to actually make the decision on the spot.

You feel that tension by choosing a side.

Only digital people get this as well. Not sure how it works on regular versions.
>>
>>329175804
>>329175427
Wow, that's fucking greedy of Ninty.
>>
>>329175973
Well all 3 games without the SE cost $80 as well, so the SE was just better overall for the same price
>>
>>329171369
I should've clarified, it was annoying when i was considering to buy it legitimately.

Then I just hacked.
>>
probably worse than me pirating the game on my 3DS
>>
>>329169978
They're doing the lord's work.

>>329172232
i sold the box for eathbound for 450$ nintenyearolds putting me through college
