Battletoads at Gamestop
The manager at my local gamestop was tired of people comming in and asking if they could buy Battletoads. He owned a copy of the SNES Battletoads so he put it up on the shelf with a $30,000 price tag. Now whenever someone comes in asking for battletoads, he just pooints and says "Here you are sir, Battletoads"

Re: Battletoads at Gamestop
You should go in there and try to trade in your copy of Battletoads. Ask for 10% of what they're selling it for.

I can see where he was coming from, but that was just unprofessional.

It somewhat has to do with it being a semi obscure game that has not been made in over a decade, that and being a meme:
