Yes, but local "scarcities" like that hardly deserve the term, considering you can mail-order games from anywhere in the U.S. at same as or cheaper than the price you'd find if you went to an actual store (shipping cost and tax tend to cancel each other). In that case, the scarcity doesn't even really exist. For all you know, RPG gamers in St. Louis simply prefer to mail order their games instead of buying them at stores. Personally, I don't buy any games at stores anymore, because there's too much of a tendency to impulse buy.
And there are some that really are HTF, like PS1 Tactics Ogre. Sure you can see lots of them for sale on ebay. but at a cost beyond the price it originally sold for. And even then, compare that to say the number of Halo2 games...
