>Selling for 250$
>400 units a month
>Used to be 35$ during 13 years

Who the fuck is even buying those? Are burgers just rich?
>>
>>59218665
My nearest guess is that people will buy one, play it, take influencer pictures with it or them playing it, then sell it when done, losing maybe $35 in selling fees and taxes
>>
>>59218665
Why tf would you pay $250 for ts when pirating is free?
Are burgers just dumb?
>>
>>59218702
To farm 100 reddit point lol?

>>59218705
Main problem is that it used to cost 30$ for 13 years. In this economy, 50-70$ is "plausible" but 250$ for a LOOSE CARD that sold 6 MILLION is nuts man

I'm starting to think that its all faked by Ebay or that the only ones buying are rich guys that trying to crash the market. I don't know any zoomers in europe that buy this shit and lot of old coomlector already have them

Dumb retards that grew up with it want to revive their childhood, so they are willing to pay for it. Doesn't help that new games are total trash. This price makes alphas and retards who "like" the new gens seethe, because it wouldn't be expensive if it was shit like they claim.
>>
I think it's collectors and speculators.
Despite the older games commonly getting bought fairly quickly in various secondhand stores, the amount of people out in the wild actively playing them and also looking for others is extremely low. If you're a fan of the multiplayer aspects of the older generations, it's rough out there. If it's not collectors, it's people that just want to beat the Elite Four and call it quits which is even worse because you may as well just emulate at that point.

A quick google search gives me multiple results under $30. Some people are just that retarded.
>>
>>59218902
Not legit copies. They’ll likely have some issue transferring mons up, occasionally some weird glitch, or more importantly for speculators, easily found to be fake by anyone who looks at the board
>>
>>59218902
Like the other anon says, they are reproductions, which won't work with palpark. You are better off buying a flashcart at that point.
>>
>>59218665
God damn, you can get a 3DS for that price then hack it and just have every pokemon game.
>>
>>59218958
I am not buying your gen alpha cucksole.

You should buy a Thor, a gen Millennial chadconsole
>>
>>59219100

Why not just a deck?
>>
>>59218834
>price = quality

>>
>>59219104
Thor is a lot nicer for dual screen games
>>
>>59219112

>wanted to do a ribbon master run through all of the games
>buy sapphire for $75
>play through it
>remember most old pokemon games are dogshit mechanically
>remember it'll take hundreds on hundreds of hours for some pixels
>remember that i'll have to spend upwards of a thousand dollars for every game/console i don't currently own to transfer up (assuming pokemon home even still fucking works by the time i finish)
yeah nah i'll just wait for home compatibility roms or play romhacks. genuinely who the fuck is buying legit carts for anything but speedrunning? I'd love to own a physical copy collection of all of my games, but the resell market is so fucking disgusting right now it isn't even worth my time
>>
>>59218930
There is not even a point of doing the whole transfer bs

>get multiple ds, gamecube, game and shit
or
>use pokehex and transfer them losslessly, then use pokebank

It was fine/fun back in the days, started to get annoying in 2010s but now with current price? Transfering the legit way is hell

>>59219127
Atleast in europe its 50e, but yeah still buying a everdrive for 70e gives you the same feel on your little GBA screen ... not like the GBA is decent for teen/adult sized consoles. Like no way i will enjoy a GBA the same way i enjoy a DS/PSP the grip is made for childrens ...

>>59219363
Ok cheater
Just say you are poor, and be done with it.

>>
>>59219388
I own a house worth half a million dollars, poorfag. Cry more. I have all the old games in their boxes.
>>
The best Pokemon game ever made, which you weren't even born before, is expensive.

What's the problem here? Why do you care? Go buy BW and SM and be happy.
>>
>>59219394
My house is worth 3.4 million and I use a CFW 3DS to transfer mons from Emerald to Scarlet. No games in boxes because that's retarded consumerism.
>>
>>59219477
why do you lie bitch
if you were actually rich you wouldn't care about spending 5k dollars in hardware and games. fuck off outta here, shitter.
>>
>>59219495
