I could've bought a loose Rumble Pak for 2 dollars at my local store. The point was that it was still in the box, and both were in good condition.
Currently unavailable but that's their price.

Still under ten dollars, not a bad deal. And I really don't give a shit if it's in box or not. Most people just left it in the controller all the time anyway.
Also a lot of people don't have other game stores near them other than Gamestop, so it's still a great deal.

But there's also about a thousand listings on eBay and even a couple on Amazon for a Rumble Pak at basically the exact same price or cheaper. These prices are nothing new at all, it's just another way for Gamestop to make money and continue selling overpriced modern games and accessories.
I really don't like Gamestop, unless you couldn't tell.
Some people aren't patient enough to wait for shipping, and a lot of this stuff isn't even overpriced, like 20$ for a gamecube. Not bad at all.

I'm not saying the old stuff is overpriced, but Gamestop has some of the most horrible business practices known to man, and this is just another shooed-in way of getting them money.
Oh definitely, I'm not going to argue that one, I just think it's cool that they started selling this stuff.

I will say, after looking at their N64 stuff to see some of their prices, I found that they're actually across the board pretty... normal. Excepting a few outliers, most of the prices are the ones you'd expect from the internet. And most of the outlying prices are unfortunately not good outliers. I mean, sports games and games like South Park and Cruisin USA for $10? No thanks.
Aside from that you have games like Castlevania 64, a game I got online for $7. They're charging $25, and trust me, it's not worth that.
Other than those jacked up prices, most of the games are the exact same prices you'd expect them to be, like Smash 64 for $50, Mario Parties 1-3 at $45, Conker's Bad Fur Day at $80. Really, I see no difference in pricing from the rest of the internet, excluding a few cheap/reasonable prices and many more not cheap/not reasonable prices.

Not terribly interesting I'm afraid. I used to buy used games there before I found out my city had other, non-corporate run gaming shops. When I was really little it was all about the Gameboy Advance games, and it was all pretty good. Then my brother got a DS, and after a year or so I started looking at used DS games. They were all overpriced, and myself being 9 or 10 or something like that, I couldn't afford any of them. This really started to piss me off because I saw some real good games just go slipping through my fingers because they were only discounted, like, 1% for being used. Anyways, I found a copy of Star Fox: Command for 10 bucks, which was a great deal. The employee working that day apparently hated small children or something because he didn't believe that it was 10 dollars and tried to take the game back so it could be re-priced. After just generally being an asshat for about 5 minutes he finally let me buy the game. When I went home to play it however, I discovered I couldn't stand the control scene (all touchscreen stuff). My mom told me just to return it but I refused to go back there and let the asshat employee be smug about it, so we had to drive to the other Gamestop at the other side of town to return it.
That being said, that Gamestop location has since gone out of business and the only one still open nearby is the one we returned the game to. I actually do like the employees at that location, I just really hate the policies they have in place from corporate. My dad actually pre-ordered Splatoon at that Gamestop for my birthday and when we went in to pick it up, the guy working there gave me a Splatoon hat. So other than the one employee (who put me off of Gamestop for a few years really), I really just don't like Gamestop's policies in general.
