Twitter user Quest64Official posted a screenshot of a message that the hacker displayed on DKoldies' site before it was removed. The message begins with insults towards the site, calling it a scam. It then displays text from DKoldies' inventory database, which shows the site's profit margin for one product in particular, Phantasy Star Portable for the PSP. Apparently, DKoldies acquired copies of the game for an average cost of $7.12 before listing it on their site for $43.99, which is a markup of over 600%. While this is unfortunately a somewhat common practice among resellers of limited or antique products, the hacker's message has given frustrated fans more reason to criticize the website.
Fans willing to brave DKoldies' high prices can buy used, physical copies of some of the best 90s games, with titles like Metal Gear Solid ($55), Final Fantasy 7 ($36), and Super Mario World ($25) in stock at the time of writing. DKoldies offers a 30-day return window for unsatisfactory products, although customers need to pay for shipping on returns.
