Purchase?!

[HylianHero92]

Help! I really want this game but Gamestop, EB games, Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys-r-us don't have it! I looked on Ebay and nobody has it factory sealed ( trust nobody   ) If anybody found it somewhere else please tell!

Try Half.com or Amazon.com. Trust me, I buy games online all the time.

However, it looks like buying new will cost you a good fist-full of cash: A brand-new, sealed copy of The Minish Cap on Amazon.com is $89.99. That's the cheapest one.

OR.

you can buy the cartridge second hand at Gamestop for $10, like I did.

It works fine. I've completed it twice, and a friend's playing it now. Sure, it didn't come with a case or anything, but I have a case for my GBA games.

You can also try Gamestop's tracking service-they'll try to find a game in a local store for you. Sure, it sucks if you live in a small town and the closest copy of Silent Hill 2 is in the city an hour away... >_> (I'm coming for you, James!)

Nonetheless, they'll show you where to find a copy.

 I don't have $89 dollars and every nearby Gamestop doesn't have it. But thanks anyways!

[MagmarFire]

Wow, is TMC really becoming that valuable?

[Twilight Wolf]

Maybe, maybe not. Some people might just think it's a lot rarer than it actually is and thus charge outrageously for them.

[Keaton]

--OR, they exploit the stupid gullible people.

[Twilight Wolf]

It's a combination of both, really.

Yeah, I'll be selling all my Pokemon cards on eBAY for like $800.
I have a lot of them, and people have seriously asked that much for pokemon cards- and gotten BIDS!

Oh, and I found this.
Near the bottom, there's one for 99 cents.

[HylianHero92]

Wow! Thanks ZV! Almost every one is cheap!   You've made my day! Oh yeah! Almost forgot! In order to continue my quest to own every Zelda game in some way, shape, or form, I need a Gameboy Color. I have a feeling it'll be cheap (it's severely outdated), but can't really find one. I haven't looked on Ebay yet though, so I can't really say I've looked hard enough. I'm not asking anybody to go search for it, but if you happen to see one cheap, please tell! Thanks!

If you have a GameCube, you can just buy a GameBoy Player. It costs, say, $40 or $50, and it can be used for BOTH a GameBoy (original and Color) and GameBoy Advance. What's better is that you can play it on your TV!

And it has been awhile since I've gotten one, so it might actually be cheaper, which is what you probably want.

[Fishalicious]

Or you can use a Nintendo DS. o__o

Check pawn shops, by the way- that's where I'm getting my PS2 at($89, but it's only $69 for my friend-though it's also that fancy silver one), and where my friend is getting her SP ($25) and it's fairly cheap.

[HylianHero92]

The DS can play Gameboy Color games?!

[Fishalicious]

The Minish Cap isn't a Gameboy colour game?

But if you're talking about old school games like Link's Awakening, then you can just use an SP. It's like, $25 used.

[Keaton]

The DS can't play any game before Gameboy Advance, but TMC is, indeed, a GBA game.  And yes, the Advance itself (and the SP) can play earlier games, like Link's Awakening and Link's Awakening DX.
