I ordered a game for one of my kids off Amazon, and stumbled across this great pricing (bottom lines of the image):
New game: $34.48
Used game: $94.98.

It's Pokemon Platinum. The used will be more costly because the game has probably already been beaten, so everything has been collected. Put in hours of labour, and there's your "used" cost. =)
This was actually explained to me by my mom, who works at Amazon.com. She said the used cost can get higher because sometimes the site sells out it's stock, so then the people who are still selling used copies raise their prices, then either forget or just don't go back and lower them.
Some days I’m so sick of patient shenanigans, the stupidity of insurance companies, and just the daily insanity of this field that I write this blog as my gripe forum.
I’m a neurologist, and although I practice in an upscale suburban area, I sometimes seem to attract some remarkably “special” folks. I have no idea why. It just seems that weird crap happens to me or my patients. So this is where I vent about it.
My stories are true. The names, minor details, and dates of occurrence have been changed to protect the irritating. Some posts are composites.

Note: I do not answer medical questions. If you are having a medical issue, see your own doctor. Or someone who plays one on TV. For all you know I'm really a Mongolian yak herder and have no medical training at all except in issues regarding the care and feeding of Mongolian yaks.
