So a few days ago I bought Slaughter Games for $1.3 and I would like to know if that was too much. Thanks.

If it was English, you should've got 2 for that price.

if you bought it on ebay, you paid exactly as much as you should've.
otherwise, LOL NOPE

Based on the currency converter I paid exactly $1.2 but I don't think one cent would balance it out. XD
I bought it at a store and it was near mint.

I mean it was $1.30. You maybe lost .50 or .60. It wasn't a great deal but you didn't lose much.

Thanks. I probably won't buying from that store again (probably except for sleeves and accesories). Their stocks for singles weren't that great anyway. XD

Brick-and-mortar stores do need to pay for overhead, so might be a tad marked up. Some places peg prices to big stable marketplaces like StarCityGames. If you are paying higher than SCG prices, you might as well shop elsewhere.

Places that don't have a great singles stock are probably going to have a higher mark up due to the fact they dont specialize in singles.
The market can be very dynamic especially with staples and places that dont specialize in singles usually dont update their prices as often as stores that do.

Australian, Canadian, American dollars?
In Australian dollars, that's probably about right because we get gibbed
American, you paid too much
