Xenoblade now IS the most expensive Wii game.

BTW if GameStop randomly takes in another shipment of this game, the online price might crash. A while back Radiant Historia's price went up to $70 used and $120 new, so I bought about 5 copies at various EB's for $35 new. Then the game crashed because GameStop/EB Games/ a few Ebay store got shipments of the game. So I ordered 15 more copies. The game is up again, only at about $30 used and $70 new. However the price is slowly going up, so I still made a good investment here.

I was going to make a larger XenoBlade investment, but it got discontinued so fast. Shows me to wait for a $10 price cut....

Geez, how much did you make by reselling those games so far?

Those poor people.....

EDIT:On a positive note, my library had both a copy of historia AND TWENY so I didn't need to pay too much to try those lol. I'll buy the sequels to support.

I actually only started "investing" in new games recently. I've only sold some old PS2/360 games online which Gamestop would only give me $1-$5 for, so I can't really confirm making a profit.

I can see the trends though, new copies of any good SNES game go for around $500 or more now, and if I sold my N64/Gamecube collections, I'm pretty sure I would have made a profit (Kept all my boxes). This is better then any GIC, so why not get extras of great and rare games?

However not all games jump in price. I bought about 5 copies of Vanquish for PS3/360, and I don't expect to make much of a profit off that in the future. Most 360/PS3 JRPG's sell for very little now too, it's only the rare Wii/DS/PSP games which are worth anything. Next Gen, I don't see as many games becoming rare like they did this gen, but usually Nintendo RPG's hold their value.
