Picked this bad boy up for $100 today at a local game store. Set it up at home and it works like a charm. Can't wait to complete it.

100$ for it? Ayy man, that sounds too expensive of a price to pay, I don't think these surpass the 60-70 bucks territory (still hella expensive desu). But hey, if you are hqppy with the purchase that's amazing. Enjoy the game!

Probably
From what I understand investing 100 is too small of an amount to give you anything decent in return. You get around a 8% gain by going for the safest options, I forgot what was called but for what I understood was something about getting a bunch of really small shares from a bunch of places and just waiting for them to grow in value or something.
But if you have easy way to multiply 100 bucks faster I'd like to hear about it so I can buy some more pokemon games

This, I’m enjoying everything about Colosseum but battles become a bit tedious because animations are a bit slow, holding down L or R makes menus and text boxes and shit move a bit faster but battles are just a bit too slow

Because playing games on the original hardware and owning the disk has an inherent value that emulation lacks. Can't wait to bring the mons I train in this game all the way up to home :)

I still have a few around me, haven't been in any of them in a little over a month but last time I was there I spent about $70. Definitely want to support them as much as I can. I tend to break my purchases up into a game I've been looking for that's gotten a bit expensive given the limited supply and relatively high demand with a cheaper game or two I've never heard of that they've got a few copies of laying around. Might be a bit off topic and likely to vary from store to store based on how they run their business, but as someone who's got experience behind the counter would you say this is a good way to make sure I'm spending money on SOMETHING they're making higher margins on? Or is there some other purchasing strategy you'd recommend to make sure they'll stay in business as long as possible?

My LGS just got in a CiB copy of Fire Red a few days ago and gave me a call. The outer box was definitely banged up, corners dinged, dents and wear and tear on the outer box. They still wanted $500 for it, which when comparing it to eBay is just ridiculous.

Just because shitty loose copies go for over it lists $200 on feebay doesn't mean you should be paying that much at your LGS. They scalped you. I'd pay $60 tops for a good cib copy today. All you've done is perpetuate that shitty retro store you bought from to do this to someone else and scam them out of their money in the future.
There's 0 reason you have to spend $100 on scratched to shit gamecube games in 2021. Get yourself Swiss.

NGC discs are already showing signs of rot in many cases, anon. They weren't made with the same materials as normal dvd/cds. There's no reason you need to be spending $100 on literal disintegrating gamecube discs. Buy a GC digital and replace the shitty optical drive.
