Fantasy Castle - at 514 York Street, Muskogee, Oklahoma - is a rip-off

So I just got back from Fantasy Castle, at 514 North York Street, in Muskogee, Oklahoma.  I was trying to sell a Game Boy Advance SP, 24 games (including every Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Advance Wars, and Zelda game released for the GBA), a codebreaker, two wireless co-op adapters, and a GBA charging cable.  The old woman behind the counter wanted to give me $50 for the whole deal.  That's less than $2 a game/system/accessory.  I looked at what she's selling, and she sells GBA games for $15 and Final Fantasy 7 for $90.

This store is a rip-off, and the owners are scumbags.  DO NOT sell your games to them, and don't buy from them either - it's cheaper to buy online.

Nah, I just want to google bomb them so every time someone types Fantasy Castle in google, they get this topic.  Did I mention they were selling Final Fantasy 7 for $90, and GBA games for $15 to $20?  I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling pirated games.

Yea i saw that its outrageous, I've never spent close to that on any copy FF7 and its still no where near that, even the non greatest hits version Isn't that rare, how do they get business? Do people just not check prices before buy things?

Consider being in a normal parent's position. Little Joe keeps whining about wanting newest game X. Parent doesn't know much about video games, goes to nearest store. They'd buy it without doing research simply because they aren't familiar of competing prices. Therefore, they're more likely to be ripped off.

Get a lot of different web sites to link to it.  Since I linked to that one page in my sig - and therefore in all of my posts - that user review has jumped to the second hit that fantasy castle returns in google.
