{TOTALLY DEAD}Super Mario Advance 4 $9 @ Overstock

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Did a search and couldn't find this deal so here goes...Looks like overstock.com has Super Mario Advance 4 $9 (about $11 after shipping). Sellout risk is high so don't delay too much. It's a good deal for those who missed out on the CC sale of GBA games too.
Here's the link:

Cheap ass link (http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=FKSJxY2VJAk&offerid=57189.310661161&type= 10&subid=)

Edit: looks like it's Dead for now...dunno if it will make a comeback or not

Edit2: Seems to a dead then alive, then dead again...if you're truly interested just check it on a regular basis

DAPHATTY EDIT 8/6/04 - Just checked. Not only is it OOS but the price is twice ($30.99) the list price ($14.99)

[Roufuss]

Already out of stock :(

[GF_Eric]

It says "out of stock" when you add it to your cart.

[JAMMR]

Best Mario Ever...

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Damn... don't tell me we killed it in 3 mins. Well I guess it's dead for now then. Was anyone else able to get it at all on CAG? It must've been on another deals site or I got in on the ass end of it all. Sorry everybody.

[JAMMR]

I missed it. :(

[ayolykewhoa]

I've beaten this game more times then I can remember and I still want a copy.

[Kaijufan]

I paid full price for this game when it came out, and it was worth it.

[OmegaRed5]

They've still got Zelda:LTTP for $17.95 + $1.40 shipping.

http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=740242

Not a great deal, but still cheaper than any other place I know of--too bad I already snagged it back when BB had it on sale for $24...

[ryan838]

They have some more back in stock I just ordered one. Its the first gba game I bought. I took my sisters gba since she doesnt use it any more and have been just playing my old gameboy games on it. So I figured it was time to get a new game.

[jaybird]

Got it this time.

Thanks for the bump ryan838!

[wampa8jedi]

Sweet, just picked it up... thanks...

[Javery]

Sweet! I'm in for $10.39 total!

[jaybird]

And just like that...it's gone.

[rsigley]

i add it to my cart but when checkout comes it's not there =\

[ryan838]

"i add it to my cart but when checkout comes it's not there =\ "

Sorry the same thing happened to me when the deal originally started. So I just had it under my favorites and checked on it everyday when I got online and today I lucked out.

[Ikohn4ever]

me too

[SpookyD]

niped one :)

[BigHow]

Damn, I almost wish I didn't own it, just to snag it at that price.

[controlcommerce]

lol. I just got into a argument with one of the online chat support guys. I was having a problem with ordering the game, it would say its in stock but would not let me order. I'm guess I cought it right when it went out of stock. Well I chatted with the guy to see what's up and he told me the game was instock and my order wouldn't go though becuase theirs something wrong with computer, lol. I told him he was full of it and theirs nothing wrong with my comp He insisted their was, then I asked him "ok, if theirs something wrong with my comp that makes me uneligiable to order form your site then what is it?" He replied back "I don't know, I'm not the master of computers." lol. Then he got really defencive and told me to order by phone.

I just thought it was funny because the guys you to talk to on these thing are suppose be polite and type certain things like "one moment please" and "how may I help you." And I made him brake his character.

[Javery]

"I don't know, I'm not the master of computers."

Nice. :D

[Ikohn4ever]

I called and the lady told me they were out of it and I teared up a lil

[maxflight]

lol that's hilarious

[captainfrizo]

The game is back. The site says limited inventory. I just ordered one at 1:45pm eastern.

[cougartai]

damn, i was 5 minutes too late. they're already out

[Ikohn4ever]

I just ordered a copy

[suprsaiyanMAX]

This games seems to come in and out of stock periodically once a day or so. So if you are interested check back a couple times a day...hopefully you'll get one in the like 20 minute window they seem to have them available.

[dnomyarps]

I just was able to order a copy. 1:58PM EST. Good luck. Not a bad deal.

[cougartai]

what the?
i've been trying to order a copy for the past 10 minutes. it says there are none in stock? how are you getting through?

[rodeojones903]

Up now for me. I snagged one.

[Gosha]

I just got one as well. It was about $10.40 total.

[cougartai]

what a load of crap. i guess overstock.com doesn't want me to buy the damn game.

[suprsaiyanMAX]

I just got this email from Overstock:

We have cancelled order #9661236 per your request. You have been
credited $10.39.

Please consider us again and take advantage of our great savings.

Seems as though I magically cancelled my order...Guess I didn't like this deal. Needless to say, I'm a bit pissed. I was beginning to wonder why they hadn't shipped this game. Now it's randomly cancelled. Please lemme now if anyone else has said problem with these jerks.

[ryan838]

I ordered one yesterday and they better not cancel my order. If they do I will be pissed.

[Javery]

I ordered one yesterday and they better not cancel my order. If they do I will be pissed.

Me too.

[megashock5]

Out of stock again.

Sucks. :(

[rodeojones903]

Shows in stock still for me.

[Jaket]

fuck!

[Vnt]

shaq-fu!

off topic: what does shaq-fu mean? (other than that horrible fighting game)

[Jaket]

shaq fu is what replaces f.u.c.k in the filter. thats why you keep seeing it

[MrBrando]

hells yeah, just got one. Hope it isn't cancelled.

[zewone]

Got one thanks

[goldengraham]

Just got one too

I checked quantity, were 4 in stock when I placed order... hopefully that means all 3 of us get the game (referring to the two posters above me)

[PsyClerk]

Trying to order one, but all I get is the "Your order is being processed" page. Seems stuck.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Just ordered one here.

[Jaket]

GOT IT!

[TomCloud9]

Sweet just got in on the deal thanks, suprsaiyanMAX

[PsyClerk]

Looks like they don't want my money. Oh well, enjoy it fellas.

[controlcommerce]

Yay, after all that BS I got one. I'm "the master of computers." ;)

[Jaket]

now all i need is 18 dollar zelda......

[jrutz]

I tried - hopefully it will go through. Thanks!

Jeremy

[sleepyd]

4 in stock at this point

[Sofa King Cheap]

I got in on one. Thank you sleepyd.

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Ok, I officially hate Overstock. This is my first order from them and I've been nothing but screwed over repeatedly. First they blame the cancelling of the order on me, then I call them twice to see what's up and they give me some BS about how the was oversold and hasn't been back in stock since (which is clearly a lie if you look at this thread).

Then they say there's no way for me to get the game again unless I order once more, which is bad business, I should be placed as a back order or something for when they get more and not make me check my email every second to see if it's in stock.

Overstock.com you suck and i don't like you. There I said it.

[ryan838]

I dont know how they can say you cancelled your own order because in their help file it says "Orders cannot be cancelled once the checkout process has been completed." I ordered mine on the 14th and I still haven't gotten my shipping confirmation yet. Its still in process so hopefully they don't cancel my order either.

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Tread carefully...mine was "in process" for about 4 or 5 days before it randomly got cancelled.

[MrBrando]

did you get charged on your credit card?

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Yeah originally...they refunded my money after cancelling but considering the deal I'd much rather have the game.

[zewone]

They charged my card. Does this mean it's gonna be shipped?

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Dunno...let's hope so. They charged my credit card then refunded it. Apparently they send a confirmation email shortly after they ship out the order and I never got said confirmation email before it was canned...so if you get that then I'd say you're in the clear.

[jaybird]

They've charged my credit card even though my order still says it's "In Process."

I'm not too hip on companies that charge me before they ship. I'm going to have to cross Overstock off my list of places to shop - no matter the cheapass deal.

[waxHead]

i keep checking overstock.com, but I haven't had any luck getting it. if anyone bought more than one or doesn't want this game, I'd love to have it. my trade list is here:

http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14165

thanks ;)

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Yeah if anyone did get extra copies and you learned about it on this site...please be fair and put a few up for sale or trade here and not just go off to ebay with them right away.

Also, I like Jaybird am not shopping with overstock no matter the deal...Even their help line and consumer support email was slow and basically anything but helpful.

[ryan838]

"They've charged my credit card even though my order still says it's "In Process."

I'm not too hip on companies that charge me before they ship. I'm going to have to cross Overstock off my list of places to shop - no matter the cheapass deal. "

My thoughts exactly. Mine has been in process for a while but they took my money right away. I bought a book from them before and my experience was good but this time I don't like that it is taking so long to ship.

[captainfrizo]

I'm in the same boat as most of you. I ordered last Thursday. The order was accepted and my credit card was charged and I still haven't receieved a shipping confirmation and my order is still "accepted" on order status.

I'm moving in two weeks so they better ship my order soon or I'll be pissed having to drive back to our old place everyday until it finally shows up.

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Captainfrizo you could try leaving a fowarding address if you still can...And yeah if they cancel all our orders there should be a royal kicking of Overstock's sorry ass.

[Javery]

I ordered last Wednesday and my status is "in process" - I really don't care how long it takes but they they better not cancel it...

[russtophiles]

Hum, the add to cart button is back and on the page it says it's in stock, but when you check your cart it says it's out of stock and won't appear in your order. Something must be screwy with thier system, a search for Super Mario Advance yields some weird results.

[Gosha]

I got an email today saying my copy shipped.

[zewone]

I also got an email saying it shipped. Nice.

[goldengraham]

I also got an email saying it shipped. Nice.
Ditto

[captainfrizo]

My order finally shipped today as well. That gives the order until the 31st to get here before we move about five miles away. It should get here in plenty of time.

[ryan838]

mine shipped today as well.

[california1967]

What the bloody hell is this?

http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=732761

[Santurio]

Damn, that messed up!!! They changed it, or what is that??

[MrBrando]

I love that "you save $0.00 0%". Ooooo! I'll get 3.

[TomCloud9]

I got my e-mail that it was shipped, I hope everyone get theirs.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Now that's a good avatar.... Oh yeah, mine shipped too.

[captainfrizo]

What the bloody hell is this?

http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=732761

Sounds like someone messed up with the pricing of the game in the first place and they fixed it.

[-Never4ever-]

2 diff links, perhaps one is the import ver?

[SpookyD]

Mine shipped to day... after a week.

[suprsaiyanMAX]

People who it is shipping to... Did you order the game after the 7th?

[Admiral Ackbar]

I got my copy today. Thanks OP!

[suprsaiyanMAX]

You're quite welcome, as is everyone else who actually got it. But I still say Overstock can go to hell for cancelling my order and refusing to correct their mistake. I shall bring them death. On a related note, someone wouldn't have any hand grenades up for trade would they?

[guardian_owl]

Ya, I don't think I'll ever order from them again unless an irresistable deal comes along. My CC gets charged immediately and it still hasn't shipped in a week.

[SpookyD]

I was angry about that too but it shepped after a week so all's well that ends well.

[ryan838]

on a different site they said that despite the fact that the game is pictured in the link and the descrition is for the game it is actually for the guidebook they are selling. that is why the list price is only $15 instead of $30. mine already shipped and if it turns out to be the guidebook and not the game im going to be pissed off. i guess i will just have to wait and see.

[goldengraham]

Well, mine came today, and it was the actual game. It was shipped in an envelope though, and the box was smushd in on the sides (you can push it back sorta). Oh well, doubt you can beat $10 shipped new anywhere else, can take a little box damage.

[Jaket]

i got mine today.... came perfect, right game, not a strat guide or anything..... i ordered 2 cuz im a greedy bastard, actucally cuz one is a gift, but if i get the right trade offer or $ offer i may part with it :) pm my ass

[TomCloud9]

I got mine today smashed box and all. A brown envolope WTF.

[zewone]

I hope to get mine soon smashed or not. I just have the felling I'm going to be screwed.

[-Never4ever-]

I said it once and I'll say it agian; one's for the domestic release and one's for the import... maybe :)

[captainfrizo]

Mine came int today as well and also had crushed sides due to the packaging. I'm surprised that Overstock didn't put the games in a padded envelope or something like that. EB does even with free shipping. Oh well, can't really complain about that when you take the price of the game into consideration.

It's pretty cool that this game still kicks ass even after all these years after its initial release.

[Grave_Addiction]

I got mine today smashed box and all. A brown envolope WTF.

Dude, I can't stop looking at your damn avatar!!!

[Javery]

I got mine today smashed box and all. A brown envolope WTF.

heh, I was coming here to bitch about this but it looks like I'm not the only one. WTF? :evil: The price was right though and I only care about boxes if I'm eventually going to trade it away but SMB3 rules so I doubt I'd ever trade it... oh yeah, it arrived yesterday and I ordered weeks ago...

...s...o... s...l...o...w...

Why does it boot up on my SP by thinking it's a Game Boy Player?

[Admiral Ackbar]

My order arrives a couple says ago. It wasn't "completely" smushed but the top of the box was creased a bit. It came sandwiched between two this cardboard sheets. It almost looked vaccume sealed.

[jaybird]

Add me to the smashed, but happy it's finally here list.

[zewone]

Got mine and to my suprise not smashed. I'm glad I got in on this one.

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Damn you Overstock! I must destroy you for the good of all human existence!!

[GundNataku]

Got mine yesterday. Box was in perfect condition!!!

[Gosha]

I got mine today. The box was a bit dented, but not much. Do they all come with 2 e-cards?

[CheapyD]

I will mention the damaged boxes to Overstock.com and see if we can't prevent this from happening in the future.

[godhatesjustyou]

http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=732761

whats the difference? and why does this one look different?

[guardian_owl]

Bah, mine still hasn't even shipped :evil:

[zewone]

Bah, mine still hasn't even shipped :evil:

Did they charge you credit card already?

[guardian_owl]

yippee, finally shipped

[daphatty]

Just checked. Not only is it OOS but the price is twice ($30.99) the list price ($14.99)

[PsyClerk]

They have had another listing for this game at the higher price for a few days now. It looks like they wised up on the lower price in the database.

[little_krampy]

That's funny: You Save: -102%

[koster]

I received my order for SMA4, but the game box was creased.

Overstock needs to package their games better for shipment (maybe by using an actual box,
rather than one of those folding cardboard mailers that my order was shipped in).
