I was referring to Ray's comment about 20 copies available local to him, the 45 available on eBay now and the ~200 listed on eBay since the beginning of Feb.

Not common by any stretch but that seems like a fair amount of stock for the price to shoot up he way it has.  Whenever a game joins the conversation of "will this awesome and limited game be hard to find soon" the price has a tendency to go up.  I'm curious to see if its a bubble or if it will hold its value.

I don't bother, as they tend to stay put in my area. Sure, there's a high demand, but there's always a high supply around me to counteract it.
If anyone wants a copy, let me know...

Salt lake City is a desert for collectors and good game stores. I feel fortunate for the two I have. Everything else is Gamestop.
So for me it's even more rare here than it really is. In some cases I dare say I am one of the few who has a handful in my whole city.

I've been thinking about adding a sealed copy of Xenoblade to my collection. Can you find them for retail?

Looks like a lot of people missed out on this game. I've held out this long so I can until the bubble bursts.

C'mon Crabby you know you want to tear into that celophane.

I really do, especially if that mysterious Wii U game turns out to be a sequel.

When this thread popped up I checked Gamestop to see how many where around me there were about 15 and priced at like 29.99 and now looking a week later there’s only one and it’s priced at 59.99.

Are you sure they were $30?  AFAIK, the used price went from $44.99 to $60.

Yea I don't remember the price out right but it was within a price that I would be willing to pay so $30 to $40 maybe it was $34.99? I don’t think I would have even paid it much mind if it was $44.99 but it might have been and I was looking at an after discount price.

Looks like it is trending back to 100$s and less.
Anyone make quick money reselling or did everyone just lose money buying?
