One other example that completely blew me away a few months ago...

FYI SNES games can be bought for as little as AUD$3-5 in "cash converter" 
stores here.

A while back I was visiting a friend outside Sydney and wandered into a cash 
converter-type store to see what they had. There were three boxed - albeit 
rather well worn - SNES games, none of which were particularly sought-after. 
Just pedestrian titles really.

I asked how much they were and almost fell over when I was told AUD$95 
each!!! I expressed my incredulity and was all-but-told to p*** off. (BTW 
they also tried to claim they were "brand new" games).

Perhaps tellingly, they had a cupboard absolutely stuffed to overflowing of 
retro console gear - most of it rather common and boring stuff - with no 
prices on most stuff. I've little doubt that most of it will still be there 
today.

Greed, pure and simple.
