GameStop to restock out of print vintage titles

GameStop has announced that it will start selling out of print "vintage titles" in its stores, like Metroid Prime Trilogy. There's only one problem: It lists used copies of Metroid Prime Trilogy at a whopping $84.99, while the recently restocked allegedly used copies of Xenoblade Chronicles go for $89.99. To put this in perspective, both titles retailed for $49.99 upon release and the latter was a GameStop exclusive.
