Visited a retro game store in Akron last weekend and saw something wild

There was this guy trading in a stack of just shovelware Wii games and the owner gave him $3 total. Then he pulled out a copy of Rule of Rose and the owner actually gasped. Offered him $400 on the spot. I never knew that game was worth that much. Anyone else find hidden gems like that in pawn shops or retro stores?

Changed my mind seeing that. Never knew old games could be worth that much.

Oh yeah because nothing says "smart investment" like dropping your kid's college fund on a dusty cartridge that smells like a basement from 1992. But hey, at least you'll have bragging rights when you tell people you own a piece of plastic that costs more than their car. I guess the people paying that much for old games are the same ones who swear their Beanie Babies are gonna pay off someday. Don't get me wrong, I love retro gaming as much as the next guy, but there's a fine line between nostalgia and just being plain old crazy.
