I know this place doesn't exactly have the best reputation for stuff like this but this is just atrocious

    1. Every single 3ds in the CEX places in my city have now sold out of them. There were always a few in the store until this month.

    2. Honestly it’s like this in the majority of places. 3DS has had a growing resurgence the past few years which it seems to have hit its peak in terms of pricing

      The greatest tragedy to befall the British high street is the death of legit computer game shops like Game/Gamestation/EB etc. that also did trade-ins. The fact that they had new stock alongside on the shelves meant RRPs kept their second-hand prices relatively in-check. CeX has no such restrictions, so can just follow the daft trends online (exacerbated, like all things, by youtubers/speculators/grifters/scalpers) and slap whatever they want on the sticker price.

    4. got one of these for £95 off ebay the other day. it unfortunately had press marks on the screen but what can you do.
