Retro Games at Gamestop? We Just Scored 2 Great GameCube Deals!

I know that Gamestop, deservedly so, gets a ton of flack for being, well, Gamestop. The store in Champaign, IL used to be phenomenal. I've discussed how they called me the night before PS5 Pre-Orders opened and told me to get there in the AM to get one pre-ordered. Since then the manager, assistant manager, and all the old staff have left. That store is, well, not run well currently. However, I have been going to the store in Bloomington, IL lately and they are pretty cool guys, and they also now have Retro Games on-site. On my last visit I was shocked to see Retro Games back at Gamestop, and recently I scored 2 great GameCube game deals! Let's take a look!!

When I was in the store, I noticed right away that they had a few GameCube Games, but when I saw the prices I had to do a double take. They had both Mario Kart Double Dash and Super Mario Sunshine WITH the cases! Sunshine even had the insert, but both were missing the manuals. They had Super Mario Sunshine for $27.99, and Double Dash for $37.99. I just recently renewed my Pro membership, which meant I was going to get both of these for a lot less than normal!

Now, both game discs have some issues and need to be polished, but I can do that locally at Live Action Games for a few dollars. The cases are in great shape, and getting the insert with Sunshine is awesome. I've been looking at manuals on Ebay and they seem to be around the $15-$20 range, which still leaves me room to make a few bucks from these games.

Have you seen retro games showing up again in your local Gamestops? Would you have bought thes if you saw them in your local store? What do you think of Super Mario Sunshine (meh for me) and Mario Kart Double Dash (best in the series for me). Share your thoughts in the comments!
