      because the nintendo games that people care about don’t really drop in price, or at least not significantly

      if you’re lucky, you might find a popular switch game used for 50$ instead of 60$, but that’s about it

      and if you’re going for retro games, it’s even worse. the retro games that people care about cost a fortune, pokemon is a good example

      Because that’s the price that (most) customers are willing to pay for them 🤷

      But, if you account for inflation (using the BLS website ), $50 in Jan of 2011 is equal to a little over $70 today, so a $60 used game is kind-of a discount?
