This site is probably hated by /vr/ because it makes "ebay prices" more widespread (and convinces every loser with a beat up copy of a popular game that they have solid gold, because a mint condition CIB copy sold for $200), but it's still a useful resource for gauging the market value of an item. The site's algorithm gets confused sometimes by distinctions that should be obvious to a human, but you can check those cases yourself.

I use it for getting a ballpark estimate of how much I should expect a piece of hardware to cost.

I know a game store (actually a chain of 3 stores) that use price charting to price their games. It pisses me off because I know that I'll never get any sort of deal at those stores and will end up paying more than I should, so I avoid them. Instead, I prefer to do business at this other store that uses mostly blanket pricing for the majority of their stuff. If snagged quite a few deals there, either from an oversight on their part or ignorance/apathy for what the price should be. Plus, they also have a card that give a 10% discount and a 10% bonus on trade ins.

Sounds like you got lucky with your find then. The onyl stores I go to around here are pretty consistent with market current price.
Honestly though I feel today the best way buying, aside from garage sales, is online. Game stores will often try to upcharge you for convenience.

i check it out once in a while. then i check on ebay and the price is either $30 lower or wildly different. pretty much a waste of time
