Track down a hard-to-find video game copy
@bmwbychris reports asking Muse to track down a hard-to-find video game copy, Oblivion for Switch 2, as a test, and says a copy turned up. The post gives no seller or price. This page offers a search brief and the checks to run before you pay.
What you can get
- Prepare
Exact game title, platform and edition
- Ask and review
Write down the exact title, platform and edition you want, plus any region or format limits (disc only, no digital code).
- Check the result
A short list of sellers and listings for one specific game edition, with price, condition and stock checked before you buy anything.
The source case
@bmwbychris says they asked Muse, as a test, to track down a copy of Oblivion for Switch 2, and posted that they "Just found a copy today!" The post is one sentence plus an attached link. It does not say which store or seller had the copy, what it cost, how long the search took, or whether Muse found the listing itself or the author completed the purchase.

What you need
You supply
- Exact game title, platform and edition
- Budget and the shipping or pickup area you accept
- Which sellers and marketplaces you are willing to buy from
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Write down the exact title, platform and edition you want, plus any region or format limits (disc only, no digital code).
- Set a ceiling for the total price including shipping, and decide how far you will travel for pickup.
- Ask the agent for a list of in-stock listings with price, condition and link; open each link yourself to confirm stock.
- Check seller ratings and return terms, and treat prices far above retail as a scalper listing until proven otherwise.
- Approve one listing and one total price before anything is bought or any seller is contacted.
- Keep the order confirmation and listing screenshot until the game arrives and works.
What the post says, and what it skips
@bmwbychris calls it a test: they had Muse look for a copy of Oblivion on Switch 2 and then wrote "Just found a copy today!" That is the whole account. There is no store name, no price, and no sign of how many places were checked before one had stock.
Because of that, treat the report as a signal that the task was attempted, not as a recipe. The prompt and steps on this page are editorial; they describe how someone could run the same hunt carefully.
Checks for a scarce game
Sold-out games attract inflated resale listings, so compare any price against the publisher's list price and the major retailers. Confirm the platform, since a Switch 2 edition and an older Switch edition can share a title. For used copies, ask whether the disc or cartridge is included and whether it is region-locked.
Local stores are worth a phone call. Staff can usually say whether a copy is on the shelf or held behind the counter, which online stock pages often get wrong.
Open Muse to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- The post does not name the store, seller, price or date the copy was found.
- It is unclear whether Muse located the copy itself or the author finished the search; the post says only that a copy was found.
- The author describes it as a test, and no failed attempts or dead ends are reported.
- This is an attributed community report, not reproduced by this guide. The suggested workflow and checks are editorial guidance, not a recovered conversation or guaranteed product capability.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- Every in-stock listing is far above retail
- Compare with the publisher's list price and the large retailers. Set a price ceiling and ask for restock alerts instead of paying a scalper.
- A listing turns out to be the wrong platform or a digital code
- Check the platform and format line by line before approving, and ask the seller to confirm in writing if the listing is vague.
Common questions
Can Muse find a sold-out video game for me?
One user reports asking it to track down Oblivion for Switch 2 and finding a copy the same day they posted. The post does not show how, and this guide has not reproduced it.
Does the post say where the copy was found?
No. It gives no seller, price or link text; only that a copy was found.
Should the agent buy the game for me?
The post does not say whether it did. This page suggests approving one listing and one total price yourself before any purchase.
