Good to know WillGabriel. Thanks for letting me know. The thing is, while it's in Beta the site format is likely to have some issues. Can you tell me specifically what things are weird?

I think some of the issues have to do with the site having a certain width size. In some areas it's fixed pixel and others it's relative. Eventually when I get the template worked out then it will be uniform :) I'll get there! It'd be nice if I didn't work 60-70 hours a week lol.

[game_fanatic]

I noticed Final Fantasy IV was listed as a 'Nintendo DS' game, but when you click the link, it shows the GBA version.

[goomba478]

WillGabriel, Safari looked good to me. Can you tell me a specific page that's not looking right?

[RoganSarine]

On a side note Goomba, if you go on Friday to one of the DSi pre-release locations I will be home, and if possible (I don't know if you have a cellphone/free international texting like I do) you could always text me a quote since I can answer my cell.

[killmak]

Hey Goomba, any idea how much it would cost you to ship this item? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=150335762285

[WillGabriel]

WillGabriel, Safari looked good to me. Can you tell me a specific page that's not looking right?

Yessir. Most item detail pages are working fine in Chrome, but the Xbox Live 13 month card isn't aligning properly. Must have something to do with the item picture size. Since Safari uses the same engine, it should look the same to you.

EDIT - Just skimmed through the rest of the product pages and these ones also look funny: Arcana Heart, Katamari Damacy, Odin Sphere, Okami (Wii), GTA IV (360), Sonic and the Secret Rings, Baroque (Wii and PS2), Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Veiwtiful Joe, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Ikaruga.

[goomba478]

Killmak, I would assume about 1-2 pounds so around $12 USD Shipping or so to Canada. If you want to put a bid, let me know how much you want your max bid to be. Thanks!

[goomba478]

Oooohhh WillGabriel, you're talking about the online store? That's something entirely different than the core GFC site :) The online store is a seperate site altogether run on the ZenCart web system and yes, you are correct, the images are just a little too big for some of those items (I can easily go and fix those). The web updates I'm doing though are for the core site. Main Page, Rewards Page, Games Inventory Page, Direct Request Form, etc. I'll work on the store later :) That's the easy part. Thanks!

[NolbertoS]

Hey Goomba. I wired the fund to your paypal account. Hopefully the transaction went smoothly and I'll be getting SF IV PS3 CE soon. Thanks for all your help, my friend ^_^

[goomba478]

NolbertoS, thanks for the payment. I will be sending it out first thing Monday (post office closed on the weekends here). I appreciate it :)

[killmak]

Killmak, I would assume about 1-2 pounds so around $12 USD Shipping or so to Canada. If you want to put a bid, let me know how much you want your max bid to be. Thanks!

Arg the wife drives me crazy. One minute she really badly wants something so I look into the cheapest way of getting it for her and the next minute she turns around and says she doest really need it.

Anyways thanks for looking into it for me.

[moatezhab]

goomba...So u can ship car parts as well?

Goomba ships almost everything I believe. As long as you pay the shipping cost plus his very small fee :)

Are you a ebayer like me that hates the $50USD increase to ship car parts to Canada :P

[ichit4k4_set0]

Hi Goomba, I'm interested in Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga ($25.98) from amazon.com

Please send me an invoice with final price so we can close this deal asap.

[goomba478]

Hey guys, I'm going to the Gamestop now to pick up my DSi and hopefully get some of your games for the Gamers Day Sale. I have no idea what they'll have in stock, but I'll try to get as many of your requests as possible. No promises or guarantees as unfortunately I got out of work really late (5AM) so it's not like I could go to the midnight openings unfortunately :(

[goomba478]

ichit4k4_set0, just so you know the game (Digital Devil Saga) is $26 but the seller charges $8 for shipping. So it's essentially:

$26.00 - Game price
$08.00 - Shipping to USA from seller
$03.00 - Shipping to Canada
$02.00 - My Service Charge
-------------------------------
$39.00 USD - Grand Total

If you are interested still let me know. Thanks!

[ichit4k4_set0]

Damn...not sold by Amazon heh.... That changes things, Me was getting excited.

I'll pass at that price. Instead, I'd be interested in that:
http://www.amazon.com/Mad-Catz-MOV06155V-04-Universal/product-reviews/B000IAPGIS/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

Also, for the Gamedays, let me know if you can find me a cheap copy of any of these: Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic Riders Gravity (Wii), FF Tactics A2.
I'm guessing you combine shipping?

Thanks!

[DarthSilverice]

First Post =)

Anywayz Goomba i've PMed you a request. Please reply when you have time. Thanks

[goomba478]

I bought 5 copies of Valkyria Chronicles for you guys but they were not sealed in plastic. First come first served. I will put them on my site tomorrow :)

[DarthSilverice]

I am down for one copy of Valkyria goomba, Can you send me the instructions since im new at this.

Thanks in advance

[spike32]

I bought 5 copies of Valkyria Chronicles for you guys but they were not sealed in plastic. First come first served. I will put them on my site tomorrow :)

hey, I put a request in your site for one, do I still have to be there when you put them up to get a copy or no? What time roughly would you say you're going to put them up?

[Ahoy]

I bought 5 copies of Valkyria Chronicles for you guys but they were not sealed in plastic. First come first served. I will put them on my site tomorrow :)

Hey Goomba, I'm interested in one of the copies as well. I've filled out a request on your site.

Thanks a bunch. :D

[goomba478]

Just wait till tomorrow guys :) I have to go to work now (after only an hour at home today). So I will be off tomorrow night and will work with you guys.

[goomba478]

spike32, if you put a direct request for a Valkyria Chronicles, yes you will have first dibs ^_^ I will wait to hear from you guys first as I will send you direct invoices. All other copies will be first come first-served. Thanks!

[spike32]

spike32, if you put a direct request for a Valkyria Chronicles, yes you will have first dibs ^_^ I will wait to hear from you guys first as I will send you direct invoices. All other copies will be first come first-served. Thanks!

Thank you very much for the quick response. I will be on most likely all day tomorrow so I'll either drop you a line here or you can message me on here or my email address or whatever.

Thanks again :D

[NolbertoS]

Thanks Goomba...I think I'll pass than on the gutted copies..I'm picky on game boxes and whether they're factory sealed or not..thanks though

[goomba478]

Okay I'm back from work now guys and going to sleep for the day. Tomorrow I will respond to all members who put in Direct Requests, and the rest of the games/copies I have left over will go for sale on my site directly. Thanks guys!

[RoganSarine]

Valkryia chronicles may finally get the install base it deserves!

[Firestorm]

goomba, try ordering VC online instead? There's the coupon for $5 off each copy (5OFF60) if you buy over $60 worth and the free shipping code (SAVER).

[preelude]

goomba please let me know if you can get a "sealed" valkyria chronicles... if you can send PM me asap! :)

[goomba478]

Firestorm, I already ordered two copies of the game (without any discount! DOH!) and they limit it to only two per household :( bummer. But thanks for the info!

[pmp1986]

Hey goomba received my little sister figurine. Looks awesome, thanks alot

[blackric]

Hi goomba, never tried your service before but I'm looking to get a Hori Fighting Stick 3 but they're nowhere to be found in Canada, do you know if you can get a hold of one and at a decent price? The SF4 SE/TE sticks are nowhere to be found here and I just want a basic stick that works.

Amazon link to the joystick.

http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Fighting-Stick-3-Playstation/dp/B000MWE3BI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1239069405&sr=8-1

[goomba478]

pmp1986, glad you got your Little Sister figurine! Now I have to sell the other 9 of them and I'll be in good shape lol.

blackric, I can help you get one of those, but the problem is (and let me repeat this because it comes up a lot) for items like large joysticks/game controllers that weigh 6-7 pounds, you will be paying nearly $30 USD for shipping to Canada. So, if it's worth it to you then I can definitely get you one. If not, then not much I can do as the controllers are quite heavy. Thanks for your interest!

[blackric]

I may still be interested, the joystick is fairly smaller than the regular ones so hopefully the shipping won't be that bad. The final price would be the determining factor since its something i ike rather than want.

[goomba478]

Actually blackric, I've shipped 4 of the exact joystick you are talking about, so I know from experience. It weighs about 6.5 pounds. Shipping is $28 USD for Priority Mail (which is faster than First Class). Anything over 4 pounds is required to be shipped Priority though. It is slightly smaller than the CE / TE editions, but still heavy. The TE ones are nearly 8 pounds.

[spike32]

I don't mean to rush you, but you didn't email me about Valkyria Chronicles or anything did you? Just wanna make sure I didn't miss it or anything. Sorry for bugging you about it, I'm just really curious, lol.

Thanks.

EDIT: Just got the email.

[goomba478]

LOL that's funny that you wrote that right as I was sending it. I was out all day doing errands and things so I just got around to sitting down and sending invoices.

BTW Spike, can you send me your real name? I'm all about the Cowboy Bebop (my favorite actually!!) but I need your real name for my records. ^_^ THANKS!

All others (who requested Valkyria Chronicles), I'm sending your invoices now. Thanks!

haha, classic! Yea, i was about to say, my names not spike32 as you could tell xD My name is Donald Tonello. Sorry, but where do I send the paypal payment to? And no problem bout doing the errands, you're the one doing me a favor :)

Thanks again.

[goomba478]

Okay no problem Donald. The Email I sent had full payment instructions. If you need them again let me know. Thanks!

[goomba478]

Here are the payment instructions in case you missed them in the Email (or if you deleted the Email):

Here's your invoice for your Valkyria Chronicles. Please send payment of $37.00 USD with non-Credit/Debit card funds to jjparks@improcomics.org on Paypal. This account is a personal account that cannot accept credit cards, so if you send a payment with a Credit/Debit Card to this account it will be denied and I will have to resend you another payment request.

If you are paying with a Credit/Debit card please pay $39.50 USD (includes 6% credit card processing fee from Paypal) and send to: Canadapayments@improcomics.org instead.

Either payment method is fine, but it's important that you send the money to the proper address depending on which payment method you are using. I will order your items as soon as payment is received will leave you positive feedback on CAG's iTrader system and will send your items out as soon as I get them to your address on the invoice. Thanks again for using my services!

Sincerely,
JJ Parks :)
GamesForCanada.com

PS: These are available on a first come-first served basis. If you don't want an opened copy (it is brand new but not sealed in plastic) then that's alright. I will have two brand new copies up for grabs next week but again they will go fast. Thanks!

[spike32]

Thanks, I just made the payment :D Thanks for your help :)

[goomba478]

Spike, thanks for the payment but it seems you sent it to the wrong address (you sent to my Canadapayments address.... which is the credit card one). Were you paying with a credit card? If so the payment amount was $39.50 USD. Let me know. If you just sent it by mistake to the wrong address, let me know and I'll refund it and you can send it to the right place. Thanks!

[spike32]

Ah crap, seems like something I'd do. Yea, guilty :( I meant to pay with paypal. Sorry bout that, when you return the money I will send to the right place.

[blackric]

ah ok, if you can get a price for the joystick it would be great, hopefully its not too much.

[goomba478]

Actually seems like you did it correctly. Paypal just was showing it incorrectly, but when I went to the transaction it looks fine. Sorry for the scare ^_^ I will ship your Valkyria Chronicles tomorrow. Thanks again my friend :)

[AznChaos]

Hey Goomba,

I was wondering if you could get a hold of a Madcatz Fightpad.

The only place that sells them is EB and they give me vague answers like just keep checking.

If you can't then no worries

[spike32]

Actually seems like you did it correctly. Paypal just was showing it incorrectly, but when I went to the transaction it looks fine. Sorry for the scare ^_^ I will ship your Valkyria Chronicles tomorrow. Thanks again my friend :)

Okay thanks, for once I didn't screw up xD Thanks for saving me a ton of money man :D I'll let you know when it arrives.

[goomba478]

AznChaos, for which system? I have 4 of the wireless PS3 Fight Pads (for SFIV) ... 2 Chun Li's and 2 Blankas. Let me know. It seems most people want the Xbox 360 versions...

[AznChaos]

O ya sorry I need the xbox version

[goomba478]

Yeah that's what I figured. If I see some I'll try to pick up one or two. Do you care about which character is on it?

[RoganSarine]

Goomba I'm still interested in the copy I asked for, but I won't get to it until about Thursday earliest I'm really busy (and at work) until thursday to really read anything you've said.

I don't know if you've sent me anything, but I'm just saying incase you have.

[goomba478]

Rogan, I actually picked up all the items you requested. I didn't send you any bill yet because I was waiting to hear from you. No problem if you need a few days. Thanks!

[NolbertoS]

Hey Goomba. Just wondering when you'll ship the SFIV PS3 CE? Thanks Goomba ^_^

[RoganSarine]

Rogan, I actually picked up all the items you requested. I didn't send you any bill yet because I was waiting to hear from you. No problem if you need a few days. Thanks!
Send me the bill and I'll see what I can do if I can do it any earlier.

[goomba478]

NolbertoS, funny you mention it...I have it all packed up (shipping out tomorrow morning). I'll send you the shipping info now :)

RoganSarine, invoice sent! If for some reason you want to take off a game or two, I can probably do it, but I'm not 100% sure as the games aren't sealed during the Gamestop sales and they're iffy about returning things. Hopefully you want them all. Over all it's a great deal I think. Thanks!

[RoganSarine]

Only thing I'm slightly confused on is did you not apply the 10% coupon on it?

It's slightly over what I was ball parking to pay without that, so I may need to adjust the order to bring the cost down to what I have set aside for it.

[goomba478]

Here's the thing. The 10% coupon that you see on CAG was very very YMMV. Because it was actually just a scan of the magazine coupon that came out last month. Unfortunately, I didn't get that issue in the mail because my Edge Card/Magazine Subscription had ended in February. Some stores were willing to take the copied/printed coupon, but when I tried using it at the store the guy said it wouldn't fly. I did try though.

Well that sucks considering I have a coupon and can't use it :P

Uh... Well hmm... how much are your chances for returning 1 or 2? Shouldn't it be fine if the seal isn't broken?

I don't want to leave you out on cash, but I'm also roughly the $20 short the 10% would have saved me as of right now (I may be able to get my brother to front the $20 for the MK Kollection)

[blackric]

oh, how much are the fightpads for PS3?

AznChaos, for which system? I have 4 of the wireless PS3 Fight Pads (for SFIV) ... 2 Chun Li's and 2 Blankas. Let me know. It seems most people want the Xbox 360 versions...

[goomba478]

I Got them for $42.50 USD each (includes 6% tax in my state). I'm willing to sell them to you guys for actual cost plus shipping if you're interested. Thanks!

[Ahoy]

Hey Goomba,

I've sent the payment to your debit account. Could you change the shipping name to 'Eddie Chan' please? It'd be weird when my parents pick up the mail and they see 'Ahoy' lol.

Thanks again.

[AznChaos]

Yeah that's what I figured. If I see some I'll try to pick up one or two. Do you care about which character is on it?

I would prefer it if you could get a ryu, ken or akuma but if you can't the others are fine as well.

Also what would be the total cost of the pad with shipping?

Thanks

[goomba478]

Thanks Eddie, good to know ^_^ I have done that a few times (mail packages with people's usernames) and it always makes for a good laugh haha. Thanks!

[goomba478]

AznChaos, it'd be $50 USD including shipping ($52 if you want insurance) and everything. I'll let you know if I can find one. If not, there's always eBay ^_^

[AznChaos]

Do you have the Chun Li/Blanka ones for PS3 or XBox 360?

I would like an Xbox 360 one if possible

[goomba478]

No sorry, I edited that post (I only have PS3 ones). I will look around my area and see if I can get any Xbox 360 ones. I have the PS3 version of the game and wanted a wireless pad, but never opened it after I found a SE Fighter Stick. Thanks!

[Ahoy]

Thanks Eddie, good to know ^_^ I have done that a few times (mail packages with people's usernames) and it always makes for a good laugh haha. Thanks!


Lol, I can imagine XD. Thanks again Goomba :D

[goomba478]

I will be posting when new items are listed, sales, coupons, etc. :) The more people who sign up the more I'll use it. Thanks!

[markj]

hello goomba, just wondering if you could get me this stuff

http://www.amazon.com/Raiden-Fighter-Aces-Xbox-360/dp/B001PA0FBS/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1235437556&sr=8-1

$20 usd (preorder comes out may 5th)

and do you have any more $20 usd little sisters in stock?

[blackric]

Are the SF4 SE fightsticks common in the states or are they still hard to come by?

[CrushEm]

officially following ya on twitter . lol CrushEm was taken unfortunately so I'm under a different name. Looking forward to tracking the deals :)

[AznChaos]

Hey Goomba, I have another inquiry.

How much would it cost to ship this shirt out?
http://www.threadless.com/product/1773/The_Ultimate_Combo

Thanks

[firebelly]

Hey Goomba,

My first time so bear with me,
Would you be able to give me a quotation for this ASAP

http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Passport-Essential-WDME3200TN/dp/B0012GQZZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1239196674&sr=1-1

Let me know if you require any further details

[goomba478]

markj, the Raiden Fighters game would be $25 USD shipped to Canada and yes I still have Little Sister figures in stock (9 left to be exact).

blackric, they are not common at all...in fact, quite the contrary. They are almost impossible to find. I do have one PS3 one available for purchase if anyone is interested.

CrushEm, thanks for the follow! It may be a few weeks before I really get the ball rolling on the Twitter front but keep an eye out ^_^

AznChaos, it'd be $25 USD for the shirt and like another $5 or $6 to ship to Canada including my $2 Service Charge.

firebelly, welcome to the club! The Western Digital Passport would be approximately $91 USD shipped to Canada including all shipping and fees. If you are interested please PM me your Full Name, Mailing Address and Email and I'll send you an invoice within 24 hours. Thanks!

[goomba478]

I need a tester for a top secret project of mine ^_^ Only one tester. First one to PM me about it will be in. I will reward you one Canuck Buck for your time. Thanks!

[firebelly]

I was thinking of putting this 320GB HDD from the passport into PS3 but after going through some of the details related I now think that it would not be possible for me to check whether the HDD is one that is not soldered therefore I may have to pass this opportunity :(

[blackric]

hey goomba, how much would the SF4 SE joystick cost? I am looking for the PS3 version.

[goomba478]

blackric, the joystick is now pending with another buyer. If it falls through I'll let you know (Offers are around $150 at the moment which I realize is pretty high). Thanks!

firebelly, no problem. If you find one that you want just let me know. Thanks!

[goomba478]

Thanks dtp11 for replying to my top secret project ^_^ I have sent an Email to you with instructions. Remember, don't talk about it with anyone yet...I will have an open beta for it in about 2 weeks or so. Thanks!

[Fanboy]

Hey Goomba, I submitted another DVD order. Thanks!

[RoganSarine]

Goomba, I sent you a PM and was just wondering if you knew of a simple way to bypass the 6% charge or is basically the only way to "bypass" it is if someone sent you money previously (thus, they paid for the ~6% charge).

I never realized you could get around it before if you already had the money in your paypal. Once I get a reply, I will continue with the payingness.

[goomba478]

Fanboy, I don't think I got your second DVD order...can you possibly resend or let me know what items they were? Thanks!

RoganSarine, if you pay with direct funds (money already in your Paypal, either sent from someone else or resulting from a bank transfer or deposit to your account, on your end) and send to my personal account, then Paypal does not take a fee for the transaction. I will be happy to work with you on this. If you need additional info, feel free to PM me. Thanks!

By the way guys, not sure if any of you are interested, but Buy.com has Too Human [Xbox 360] ridiculously cheap ($13 USD) and Amazon.com has Mirror's Edge [Xbox 360/PC] ($20 USD). As usual, if you want one of these let me know. Just add $5 USD to the total to cover shipping/service charge. Thanks guys!

** Update, it seems the Xbox 360 version has shot up to $27.99 or so now on Amazon. Other games are still in stock.

[goomba478]

In case you guys are wondering, I'm still going to be adding the two sealed copies of Valkyria Chronicles to my site but I'm waiting before I actually have them in my hands before listing them because some CAGs claimed their orders were cancelled. I will announce when they are available on my Twitter page here:

http://www.twitter.com/gamesforcanada

So first come, first served as always ^_^ Thanks!

[game_fanatic]

Hey goomba, it looks like EB has Too Human for $9.89 for the Game Days ;) hehe

[goomba478]

Haha, yeah I think you're right actually (though after tax it comes to be about the same price give or take as the Newegg promotion). Were you interested in a copy or just pointing it out for me? Let me know :) Thanks!

[addone]

:O now through twitter we know goomba's real name! dundundunnnn :)

[game_fanatic]

I already got Too Human from you during the Black Friday Sale for like $20USD, I believe. D'oh!

[goomba478]

Oh yeah, that's right ^_^;;; sorry! I don't remember every order by heart :)

addone, if you buy from me you'd know my real name by now anyhow =) no secret!

[addone]

addone, if you buy from me you'd know my real name by now anyhow =) no secret!

TRUTH! One day.

[blackric]

Hey Goomba, the USPS is set to release some stamps featuring the Simpsons

http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/2009/pr09_033a.htm?from=simpsonspage&page=pressrelease_readmore

Was thinking if its possible if you can arrange something for us Canucks :)

[goomba478]

Of course I could blackric! Shipping them would be incredibly cheap. Though a sheet of stamps will cost a few dollars. But yeah, of course I'd be more than happy to. I think it's about time we had official Simpsons stamps ^_^

I didn't even know about this. Thanks for breaking the news for me!

Hey Goomba,

My brother has been looking for this game for awhile, sadly it is pretty hard to find for the PS3 in my area/online. How much would the game be with shipping/service added on to it?

Thanks a bunch.

Oh you.

[goomba478]

haha what a totally inappropriate (and hilarious) drawing that is. I probably don't want to know where you found that one lol

[DarthSilverice]

Hey Goomba

Can I get an update on my order please? Thank you very much!

[goomba478]

Darth, I'm just waiting for your headphones. They're from an affiliate seller on Amazon as you know so they can take 1-2 weeks to get here sometimes. You will receive an Email notice when they come in, so no need to worry :) Thanks!

[DarthSilverice]

Awesome

Thanks for the fast reply Goomba! :D

[goomba478]

You're very welcome. I will keep you guys all posted ^_^ As I've mentioned in the last week or so on other forums here on CAG, this week is the CRAZIEST I've ever had :) I'm working 60+ hours a week at work, going to Poker school in the morning, submitting my business taxes (after tomorrow I'll be all done!), doing eBay/GFC/CAG related sales and trades, working on the GFC website...crazy!

Next week will resume to a bit more normalcy and hopefully things will be quickly moving again ^_^ I can't wait!

[RoganSarine]

Goomba, I'm transfering the funds to paypal now... just awaiting them to arrive in it. They say 6-8 days.

Random Rant: Man, why can't there be any good deals on Skate 2? :P

[goomba478]

Thanks Rogan sounds great. Skate 2 prices will come down dramatically, don't worry. Almost all 3rd party games do. Just look how cheap the first Skate can be had.

[dancrane212]

Goomba,

Did I include everything you needed to send me the invoice in my PM, or did I miss something again? :roll:

[goomba478]

You did everything right :) I will send the invoice tonight. I was just super, super busy this week with class and taxes and such. I'm playing catch up now...

With my new job (at the new casino) I will be working less hours, which is not so great financially for me but it's wonderful for more free time.

[RoganSarine]

Pfft, just bump up your prices as the CAD dollar goes up and you will soon be able to make a five figure salary on this :P

[goomba478]

LOL yeah the CAD (and USD) have definitely seen some better days. I'm just hoping they both improve so it'll be good for the both of us. I really do intend to put a lot of time into pumping up my services as I increase my free time. I'm going to need to make money some how :( these bills don't pay themselves (unfortunately).

[RoganSarine]

By the way... I dunno if you change the CAD into USD in your account and envoke the 2% conversion fee that I always got... But I sent an extra $2 just incase... that and I hated looking at like $168 or $169. :P

[markj]

hey goomba, was just wondering about getting some stuff from amazon.com from you

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CDLATE/ref=pe_13650_11777820_fe_img_2/

baraka bluray available now

http://www.amazon.com/Raiden-Fighter-Aces-Xbox-360/dp/B001PA0FBS/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1235437556&sr=8-1

raiden fighter aces - preorder

would it make sense to ship these to me together? let me know how it works as this would be my first order with you

[spike32]

Goomba, I received Valkyria Chronicles yesterday and it is working perfectly :D I am leaving you feedback now.

Thanks again.

[game_fanatic]

hey goomba, any more copies of Valkyria floating around?

[goomba478]

markj, yeah I could definitely get those for you. Raiden Fighter Aces isn't out for another two or three weeks, so if you want I could order both and ship them together, but you'd save only like a dollar or so on shipping since most Blu-Rays are very light. Let me know :) I'll work with you either way.

game_fanatic, I do have new copies but they are not sealed. If you want one let me know.

[game_fanatic]

I'm assuming they are in great condition, yeah? And what total would I be looking at?

[goomba478]

Yes, they are all in Mint Condition (discs/manual). Case originally had price stickers on it but were removed. One or two copies have those protective stickers to keep the case closed (to show that it hasn't been opened) and sometimes those leave some sticker residue on the case, but doesn't affect the actual artwork or anything. I have them in my store now if you want one. Runs around $40-$41 USD shipped.

Thanks!

[game_fanatic]

Hmm that ends up being about $50CAD...I'll have to pass on this one goomba, but thanks for giving me the details!

edit: hey goomba I noticed from the Video Game Deals forum that Best Buy has an in-store special on right now with some games being $9.99. Would it be possible to look for Rock Band (PS3), Soul Calibur IV (PS3) and Infinite Undiscovery (Xbox 360)?? The sale seems pretty YMMV, but if you could take a gander for me, that would be awesome! Thanks!

[killmak]

Hey Goomba I know you buy a lot from Amazon.com so I figured you would be interested in this thread (if you havent seen it already). http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219382

[spike32]

Hey Goomba, me again ;)

I was just wondering how much these items would be together with your services and everything? I ask because the shipping prices are usually sh!tty, and they only ship UPS, and UPS will no doubt charge me duty as they always do :bomb:

Thanks as always.

[goomba478]

Hey guys, for all of you asking about the Best Buy deal... here's what's up: I will try to buy them if the sale is 100% confirmed. Some CAGs have bought them full price in the past on the website and price-adjusted them in store upon pickup. I'm not sure how well this works, but I'll try it if the sale is confirmed so bear with me :)

killmak, thanks for the info! I will definitely join that if they do in fact get it working year round. If it's a one-time use coupon then it's probably not worth it (but I may join that club anyway). Thanks!

Hey Spike32, I'll get you an invoice estimate for you :) Give me a day or so. I have my new job's orientation in half an hour so I have to rush out the door. I'll send it tonight though if I can. Thanks!

[ragnar14]

I ask because the shipping prices are usually sh!tty, and they only ship UPS, and UPS will no doubt charge me duty as they always do :bomb:

Actually Rightstuf doesn't use UPS for us. Donno what exactly they use, not USPS, but the stuff arrives Canada Post. So it picks up a normal duty amount. The shipping price certainly blows if you're just picking up some single DVDs though, as they charge per item and expect us to be ordering boxsets or something.

Hmm. I need to look for stuff for Goomba to grab me from their bargin bin too ;)

Ya, I understand you're busy. There's no big rush so take your time. Thanks for the response though and keeping us in the loop.

[goomba478]

Good news everyone, I was officially hired today by my new casino :) I finished day one of the orientation today and have day two tomorrow (and day three Wednesday). Why is this good news for you guys? Well for one thing, I will have more time on my hands soon (and therefore more time to work on the website and fulfill your orders) and also in theory I'll make more money eventually too :) So good times for all. *Crosses Fingers*

Thanks for all your support guys :) I'm going to take a quick nap and then get out to sending invoices and estimates for you all. I appreciate it!

Congratulations Goomba!
^.^

[Fuzzy]

Congrats on your new job.

I've followed you and your site since it started and pointed a few people to it in the past but the PM I sent you today will be my first order. :)

[goomba478]

Thanks everyone!

Getting the new job is a great thing. I technically now work for both casinos but I will give my two weeks notice at my old one on Thursday. I've worked there for 5 years, so it'll be quite a change (less hours initially), but like I said, this new place has a better reputation for working there and I have a lot of potential to move up in the future. Thanks again!

Fuzzy, I appreciate you letting others know about my services. I will go through your order (and all the others) now before I go to sleep. Thanks again!

[PuppetYuber]

goomba do you have any digital summer or digital devil saga for sale?

[Xeph820]

oops i'm kinda late but congrats!

[goomba478]

PuppetYuber, sorry to say that I do not. I can try to track down a copy for you if you like though. Were you looking for new or used? Let me know!

[Setite]

Congratulations, goomba478 :applause:I'm very glad to know everything is fine :)

[YOUR_SUPERIOR]

Hey goomba, will you be picking up any copies of Infinite Undiscovery from Best Buy during their big sale for 9.99? I would definitely be interested in a copy!

[game_fanatic]

hey goomba, have you seen any new copies of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance floating around anywhere? Definitely looking to get my hands on that!

[goomba478]

Heads up guys: I am having a new lowball sale this week. This one will be invite only (CAG members only) so if you want in, send me a PM and I will send you instructions. Thanks!

This is a brand new style lowball sale that I'm doing which will feature custom pages I developed on my own time from scratch. It's a bit of an experiment so hopefully it'll work out well :) Thanks!

YOUR_SUPERIOR, I will definitely check it out if my store has some in stock. Game_Fanatic, I haven't seen any new copies though I do have a few used ones. Do you only want a brand new one? Let me know. Thanks!

[Fuzzy]

Hey Goomba did you ever get my reply to your last PM?

[Fanboy]

Congratulations, Goomba!

[game_fanatic]

a used one would be fine goomba, I'm going to assume that if you have them used they're in great shape anyhow! How much would we be looking at? I'd also be interested in the lowball sale as well!

[SonicBoom1000]

I don't know if you got my PM Goomba, but Best Buy in the US starting April 26 is having a 10 dollar game deal where various selected games are all 10 dollars each. I would like to purchase Soul Calibur 4, Pure, Lost Planet Extreme Condition, Bourne Conspiracy, 007 Quantum of Solace all for the PS3. Let me know if it's possible for you to get them, thanks.

[RoganSarine]

Goomba, my payment should be in my paypal tomorrow. If I send it tomorrow, when can you get the shipment out?

Also, I am also interest in the $10 best buy thing too (All PS3).
007: QoS
Bourne Conspiracy
Lost Planet: EC
Pure
Soul Calibur 4
Fracture
Overlord: Raising Hell
And Clive Barker's Jericho - Maybe [ Still deciding ]

Also (360):
Infinite Undiscovery
Turok (Maybe... wish it was Ps3... same with along in the dark) [ Still deciding ]
Too Human - Maybe [ Still deciding ]

Are some of the games I'm looking at.

[game_fanatic]

^^ Perhaps you should turn those "Maybe's" into Yes/No; It wouldn't be fair to goomba to pick up the game assuming you wanted it, then have you change your mind.

Also, I'd look around for Jericho, Turok, and Too Human, as they may be close to $15 or so in Canada...I know for a fact that Turok for the 360 qualified for a 2/$30 promo at Zellers (and not the crazy one back in '08). Too Human is $10 @ EB as we speak!

[halcyon1234]

Hi, Goomba. If you're able to get those BB games, I'd love to get a Rock Band (PS3). This'd be my first time buying from you, so just let me know how I get money from my wallet to your retirement fund. =)

[neksus]

Just so you guys know, those games are going to be ~$20 CAD. A few can be had here in Canada for under $15.

[RoganSarine]

That's GENERALLY why they're maybe. I dunno how lazy I am, but I'm dropping by the mall tomorrow, so I may look around for them. The reason they're maybes (I will confirm before the 26th definitely though :P ) depends on if I make it to the mall/Gamedeals before the 26th.

So, it's generally an "if-I-can't-find-the-games"

[Winnopeg]

Just so you guys know, those games are going to be ~$20 CAD. A few can be had here in Canada for under $15.
Anyone know of anywhere that has Pure or Wall-E (both 360) cheaper? If not, I might have to scrounge up the money for those two. Not that I have time to play either right now...

[goomba478]

Great news everyone. The coding is 99% done now and 100% functional. I am going to be listing items for the next few days and I hope to officially launch the lowball sale on Saturday this week. Bidding will go on for roughly a week. Keep in mind this is a brand new lowball format so it's very experimental and your feedback is CRITICAL.

Also note that this will be for CAG members only, even though the website is hosted externally. Your username in my system MUST match your CAG name. If you sign up please let me know so I can activate your account. Accounts that are not activated will not have voting priveleges (or listing priveleges once I open it up to you guys to list items). Thanks:

You can sign up here: http://lowball.gamesforcanada.com/

If you sign up, remember to PM me or email me at: JJ @ improcomics DOT org and let me know. Be sure to use your CAG username for your lowball auction name, or else you will be unable to bid. I'm hoping to have a TON of great items ^_^ Thanks!

[goomba478]

Also, just for the record, my Best Buy is typically emptied out by hoarders VERY fast. I will do my best to get the titles you want, but I leave no guarantee that I"ll be able to get all (or any) of the specific titles. I will do my best though to make it there when the sale goes live. Thanks guys!

[gsrce]

Hi Goomba,

Can I send Blu Rays from the HD DVD -> Blu Ray trade in at red2blu.com to your address that you provided me with previously? I'll send you an email if you'd like so you know what's being delivered, and you can invoice me once you receive the package.

Thanks =)

[Afrodiziak]

Hey Goomba,

If you can find a copy of Quantum of Solace (360) at Best Buy for $10, I wouldn't mind ordering one from you. Let me know.

[PuppetYuber]

for some reason it is not letting me bid

and how much do DDS and DDS usually go for?

[blackric]

Just so you guys know, those games are going to be ~$20 CAD. A few can be had here in Canada for under $15.

Any idea when that will happen? I know several titles are already $10 at EB for game days but how about the others?

[goomba478]

PuppetYuber, which item were you trying to bid on and how much? Please let me know and I'll test it out. Thanks!

[game_fanatic]

hey goomba, how much would it cost to get a copy of Marvel: UA for Xbox 360 used?

[goomba478]

game_fanatic, it depends...do you want just the standalone version of the game? The game with Forza 2? The gold edition? Let me know. Thanks!

[game_fanatic]

Hmm...does the game with Forza 2 come with each separate game disc, or is it both games on one disc? I guess I'd be interested in pricing for all three!

[goomba478]

I have the one with Forza 2 in my own collection. It's one case, with artwork for both games (each side has one game) and two seperate discs. The discs are identical to the single-case versions as far as I know, but it's a better deal over all :)

I will get you some estimates soon ^_^ Thanks!

[rayee6]

Hey goomba

I just placed an order for a home theatre wireless transmitter through you website.

I've never ordered anything through you through ebay before, so I am not sure how it's going to work.

I know you are busy with work and everything and there's only about 7 hrs left in the auction. If you could place a bid for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know. Thanks

[goomba478]

Okay rayee6, I have sent you an invoice to your Email. Keep in mind you MUST pay in FULL before I can put in your bid. If you win the item for less, then I will refund you the difference minus item cost, shipping and such. Thanks! Full details are included in the invoice PDF. Please read it :) Thanks!

[rayee6]

payment sent

[goomba478]

Rayee, I put in a top bid of $75.00 for you in my sniping program. That with the $15 from the eBay seller will be the $90.00 USD you sent me. Hope you win :) Thanks!

[PuppetYuber]

it doesnt even let me login to bid on anything lol =="

page keep refreshing itself.

[goomba478]

PuppetYuber, try again please. I think I found the problem. You had like 4 copies of your username/password combo in my system. I deleted the duplicates. Let me know. Thanks!

[Fuzzy]

Goomba I still haven't heard back from you about my PM clarifying what I wanted from Amazon.

[RoganSarine]

Ugh... Goomba they bumped back my processing clearance date until Monday.

[PuppetYuber]

works for me, thanks :D

[Rabid619]

Hey goomba, left you a pm, just makin sure you don't miss it. ;)

I'd be all over that BB sale but I'm already pretty flooded with games heh.

[goomba478]

Fuzzy, sorry. I will try to get you an invoice tomorrow. I'm my way to work now but I didn't forget about you :) just have been working double jobs all week and time is impossibly hard at the moment. I will send an invoice to you tomorrow ^_^ Thanks!

[dancrane212]

Hey Goomba,

If you were going to head over to BB for the $10 deal could you see if they have these in stock:

PS3:
007: Quantum of Solace

360:
Soul Calibur 4
Devil May Cry 4

And pick up any of them if they're instock.

Thanks.

*EDIT* Almost forgot! If it's not too much trouble, whats the status on Oblivion so far?

[Fuzzy]

Fuzzy, sorry. I will try to get you an invoice tomorrow. I'm my way to work now but I didn't forget about you :) just have been working double jobs all week and time is impossibly hard at the moment. I will send an invoice to you tomorrow ^_^ Thanks!

No problem, I understand what it can be like when you have to work long hours and you don't have much time for anything else. Thanks.

[spike32]

While we're on the topics of reminders, just a reminder bout my Rightstuf items. I'm not getting pissed or anything, just a friendly reminder. I understand how busy you are so its fine.

[wingy17]

Goomba, I've sent you an email with a request for an item on amazon.com. Waiting for a quote. Cheers.

[cowcow]

Hey Goomba,

If you can find a copy of Soul Caliber 4 for the PS3 from the Best Buy sale could you pick that up for me?

Thanks

[Winnopeg]

I'd be good for Wall-E (360) if you can grab it Goomba.

[NolbertoS]

Hey Goomba. If they're still available when you're reading this. Can you buy me Silent Hill Homecoming and Hellboy for the 360 at Bestbuy.com for the Best Buy Sale. Each game is selling for 9.99 US..helluva bargain, compared to Canada even with taxes. Buy them for me if they're available. If one of them is sold out, than I'll get Silent Hill only. If Silent HIll is sold out, than nothing. Thanks Goomba

Edit: Add Turning Point: Fall of Liberty to the list of buy items, Goomba. So 3 total, but Silent Hill has to be included in the 2 or 3 games package, but I'd prefer all 3 to buy :D..Thanks Goomba

[goomba478]

Okay guys, here's the deal. Today's my first day at the new job (10AM-6PM) so I will be making a bee line over to Best Buy after work today. Not sure what will be left, but I'll try to pick up as many of them as I can for you guys. I will probably put them on my website for a first-come-first-serve type deal because honestly I received WAY too many requests for this sale. I have no idea what my store will have, so it's anyone's guess. I will do my best to get some though. Really cheap games always tend to sell fast (and I think there are a lot of CAGs where I live, though I have yet to meet any in person).

[ProfNut]

If you could be on the lookout for Pure and Soul Calibur IV (both X360) it would be great! Thanks Goomba!

[goomba478]

I will definitely look out for them. I made a list compiled from all your PMs and requests here in the forum, so those are the games I'll look for first. Then if I spot any other good deals I'll try to grab them too. Hopefully the shelves aren't all 100% empty. I just didn't have the money to go ahead and buy them full price and price-match like many CAGs do. Nobody sent the money ahead of time, so I didn't want to run the risk of getting screwed over as I have in the past. I'll do my best to get what I can. Wish these sales were easier to get (and didn't fall on important work days). Oh well ^_^

[game_fanatic]

hey goomba, did you have a price on the Marvel: UA and Forza 2 combo? Thanks!

[dtp11]

Hey Goomba, do they have a thread with a master list of Best Buy games going? I couldn't find it for some reason if there is.

[blackric]

Hey Goomba, I sent you an email regarding the magazine/infamous order hope you read it.

Btw, how was the Best Buy hunt? Did you manage to get anything? I have a itching to get 3 PS3 titles :bouncy:

[Winnopeg]

Hey Goomba, do they have a thread with a master list of Best Buy games going? I couldn't find it for some reason if there is.
Here's the list (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221773).

[goomba478]

Okay guys, wow today was NUTS. It was my first day at the new casino and not only did I work a full eight hour shift, but they kept me more than two hours overtime. What sucks is that the new job only gives me half the breaks of the old one, even though I'll be making better money (so I guess it's worth it in the end, but man am I dead).

First the bad news: My Best Buy closes at 8:00 PM and I didn't get out of work until 7:55 PM....the good news? My wife was generous enough to drive down to Best Buy for me with the master list of the games you guys requested. She was able to buy 15 games in total (almost all PS3 games, the Xbox selection was crappy). To be fair, I will be listing the games in my GFC store over the next couple of days. Subscribe to my Twitter to find out when the games are listed!

There you go my friend ^_^ You know who you are.

[Fuzzy]

Glad I checked my email before going to sleep. Just got my invoice and paid. Thanks.

[goomba478]

Fuzzy, I appreciate your fast payment but I had to refund you. You sent the payment to my business account but with the payment amount for my personal. Not sure if you realize that. Please read the instructions with the invoice. I can explain it if you don't understand ^_^ Thanks!

[spike32]

Thanks for the invoice, although you really didn't have to go through the trouble of doing that, all i needed was a rough estimate ;) Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to pass on that offer, I don't mean to seem like a jerk making you do all that work, but taking a look at the money situation, doesn't seem worth it right now. :cry: I do appreciate the effort though, thanks.

And hopefully you get used to the new job as time goes on!

[goomba478]

It's all good Spike. I get that a lot lately ^_^;;; I just go through the invoice because it keeps things broken down and if you do decide to order, then it's all set to go and I have it ready for my tax software (since I have to pay taxes on all my earnings). I'll go ahead and clear out your invoice. Maybe we can do business sometime in the near future :) Cya soon.

[dancrane212]

Hey Goomba,

Got two questions for you.

1. How are the games you got from the $10 BB deal going to be announced? All at once or one at a time?

2. You might have missed this in all the new job/BB deal comotion, but I was wondering the status on Oblvion (PS3). Sorry if this comes off as angry or anything of the sort, I know you are busy. Just curious. :)

[Fuzzy]

Sorry about that, I blame it on being tired. Fixed now.

[killmak]

Hey Goomba is there any decent deals on XBL 12 month cards right now? My friend is looking for one as his live just ran out and it seems they are going for 50+ CAD on ebay right now.

[goomba478]

dancrane212, they will all be announced at once (the $10 Best Buy games that is). I am working one more day and then I get my first day off in a week. Remember, I will be posting when they are live (probably Saturday when my lowball sale ends). Thanks!

Oh and Oblivion just came in. I should have it out in the next day or so :)

killmak, I haven't seen any good deals in a while. I'll let you know of course if anything pops up. I wish more of you would have bought them from me when they were $29.99 everywhere. I sold around 60 or so but after the sale ended I got about 200 inquiries. Oh well :(

Bummer, I'm gone all weekend. Maybe I'll be able to bum a laptop off a friend, then go on a quest to find some internet. ;)

Awesome, thanks for the update. I appreciate it. Also I was looking over the address I sent you to make sure nothing was incorrect, I don’t want to tell my brother I got it shipped to the wrong Enfield, and I noticed that I forgot my postal code. I'm not sure if you found it or anything but I’ll send a PM your way with the code on it. Just in case :)

[game_fanatic]

hey goomba, thanks for the prices, but I found a great (and I mean great) deal on Marvel: UA today at EB, but don't you worry, there's still plenty of games to buy on my list :D

[PuppetYuber]

http://www.ecost.com/Detail.aspx?edp=43041945

goomba could you calculate how much it would cost me for you to ship this to me?

apparently this site can ship directly to canada, but it is not working for me, so I thought I mind as well see if I can get it through you.

thanks

[goomba478]

PuppetYuber it is $15 and $10 for shipping to the USD. Altogether you are looking at like around $30 total. Let me know.

[PuppetYuber]

if it is 30 dollars total then I will take it np, send me an invoice and i will paypal you again.

[goomba478]

Okay PuppetYuber, I'll try to send you an invoice by tonight. Thanks ^_^

[PuppetYuber]

could you also request money directly from my paypal? email is jeffliu03@hotmail.com

thanks.

[goomba478]

Lowball sale ends in 2 hours guys!

http://www.lowball.gamesforcanada.com

THANKS!!

[kgroat]

Goomba I sent direct request. I hope you got it
^.^

[goomba478]

Good news everyone, I survived my first day in the new poker room! I am working on getting the $10 Best Buy items up in the next day or so. Be sure to watch the twitter account!

http://www.twitter.com/gamesforcanada.com

PS: I will be starting to purge old Direct Requests that never were followed up on. If I sent you an invoice and you didn't pay it within a week or more, I will clear it from my list. I will be doing ALL requests first come first serve to be fair, and make things move along quickly. This new job of mine means I am day shift and I'll have a lot more time to devote to my personal projects and side business ^_^ This is GREAT news for you guys ;) Thanks again for everything!

[dmonking]

Hey Goomba, just wondering if you shipped me those Sennheiser headphones yet.

Sorry, but this past month of no music is driving me insane! :P

[goomba478]

dmonking, funny you should ask. I just got them in. They'll be shipping out tomorrow :) I know how it is without music...it's enough to drive anyone mad! Thanks again ^_^

[goomba478]

Not sure if any of you care, but GoGamer has Little Big Planet for $27.89 USD shipped to the US. I could get you one for $33.00 USD shipped to Canada. Let me know :) Not sure if there's still demand for that one ^_^

[TripleQ]

Oops that's pretty bad when you type your own Twitter wrong ;) thanks

[ichit4k4_set0]

Hi Goomba, were you able to grab any Legacy of Ys yesterday as Amazon Deal of the Day?
If so, I'll reserve one!

[dancrane212]

Oblivion arrived today! My brother is having a great time with it.
Thanks again!

I'll leave feedback as soon as I post this. :applause:

[goomba478]

ichit4k4, unfortunately no. Someone stole my credit card numbers (see my CAG blog for more info) so I wasn't able to order anything :( They stole about $900 USD from me. I'm trying on working to get it back now. It's a real pain ...

dancrane212, so glad you got it! Thanks again :) Hope to do business with you again soon ^_^

[RoganSarine]

Hey Goomba, mainly because I forgot if you sent it last week or the week before, when did my package get shipped out? I can't remember whether to expect it this week or next week.

Also, just because it doesn't hurt to ask (I can't keep up with all the subtle American deals... normally miss a few good ones)... You know if you can get a good deal on any of the following? [Yes, I know games like Wolverine/Killzone/etc would be impossible to get that cheap, but I just copied/pasted it from my list].

I'm looking at

GC:
Baiten Kaitos Origins (~$10)


PS3:
Army of Two (~$10)
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (~$25)
Mirror's Edge (~$20)
Resistance 2 (~$25)
Skate 2 (~$25)
James Bond: Quantum of Solace (~$20)
Saints Row 2 (~$20)
+ Any sub-$15 game that is decent (IE: No Shovelware)

Killzone 2 (~$37)
Resident Evil 5 (~$37)
Street Fighter IV (~$30)
Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (~$30)
X-Men: Wolverine (~$30)
Infamous (Not out yet)

(~$xx) denotes I will take it for $5 over what I'm looking for.



PS2:
Ratchet & Clank (~$10)
Silent Hill 4 (~$10)

Kind of a vague list in terms of no specifics, but I thought I'd ask. I'm looking around $15 max (prefably under $10) for the last generation games, and a maximum of $30 for PS3 games listed.

[goomba478]

RoganSarine, you should have the games next week. There was a little bit of a delay because you broke my rule #1 and sent me CAD (which I had to convert and change with my bank and all that fun stuff). I can probably get you some decent deals on many of those games, but I don't have any set prices as most I don't have in stock

I typically don't do deal shopping around as much because I get way too many requests and many don't follow up on the deals. I'll get back to you though if I find any of those at good prices :) Do you mind if they are used?

[RoganSarine]

I don't care if they're used or even gutted... as long as everything is with them.

Yeah sorry, I kind of realized after-the-fact, that is, after I made the request to transfer funds that it was in CAD. I then didn't see any writing about it, so sorry about that. Hope it wasn't too much of a hassle :P I don't mind waiting at all... I got a huge backlog anyway. I'll know for next time now!

I figured I'd ask. I'd added roughly the price I'm looking for (give or take 5 bucks). I got $25 USD ready to go in my paypal, and I will pay whatever you get for me (albeit, it may take to my next pay cheque).

There's no hurry to get any, just if you happen to see any.



Just as a suggestion, but could you make a list of frequent stores that are around you? If I remember correctly, there are a couple like sears or zellers (can't remember what) that arn't around you... and Fred Meyers apparently has a deal on Saints Row 2.

[goomba478]

It's all good RoganSarine, you did send the right amount as far as the currency rate goes, it just added an extra step and I lost some money in the process of transferring them. So in the future please just send USD ^_^ It'll make everyone's life easier.

Here's a list of local stores around me. Keep in mind B&M stores are very YMMV around here. I do 99% of my shopping online for a reason :)

Best Buy
Gamestop / EB Games (Quite a few)
Wal-Mart
Target
Sears (very few games)
BJ's
Costco (online orders mostly as it's about an hour away)
Blockbuster Video (Franchise owned though, doesn't do corporate sales or deals)
FYE (about three of them near me)

That's the major ones around here. Thanks!

[goomba478]

Oh by the way RoganSarine, I wasn't able to get you the Valkyria Chronicles unfortunately. I can get you a brand new copy for $7 more if you're interested, or I can refund you the amount paid for that one. Sorry about that.

[RoganSarine]

What? Seriously? Valkryia is like... all I wanted in that list >_<

What happened? I can send the $7 USD now I guess.

[RoganSarine]

...Once it lets me login to paypal

[RoganSarine]

Sent the additional payment.

[goomba478]

Thanks Rogan :) What happened was when I first bought them all I sold them all on my website (www.gamesforcanada.com) and at the time you hadn't paid so I thought you weren't interested in the items. Thanks for your payment though. I'll send you the brand new copy ^_^ It's a great game and you'll love it to bits.

=JJ=

[DarthSilverice]

Hey Goomba

Thanks for everything, VC and headphones arrived today in perfect condition.

Thanks again, and i'll be leaving a feedback now!

:D

[DarthSilverice]

Argg nvm Apparantly im still not registered for 30 days yet.

I'll leave the feedback as soon as that requirements met.

[goomba478]

DarthSilverice, it's all good :) I can wait. Thanks for everything. Glad they made it there safely and quickly!

[RoganSarine]

Thanks Rogan :) What happened was when I first bought them all I sold them all on my website (www.gamesforcanada.com (http://www.gamesforcanada.com)) and at the time you hadn't paid so I thought you weren't interested in the items. Thanks for your payment though. I'll send you the brand new copy ^_^ It's a great game and you'll love it to bits.

=JJ=
;) Eh, no problem. That money was kind of just sitting in my paypal from someone who sent me money anyway... So it's not REALLY out of my pocket directly.

:-P For future reference, generally anything I ask for I will buy. If for whatever reason I am hospitalized, I lose my job, I go bankrupt, I become a heroine addict, and everything in the world goes wrong possible that makes me have ABSOLUTELY no way I can pay basically because I'm on the verge of death, I will tell you if I can access a computer.

For the most part though, I will pay as soon as I can (last order was held up due to the paypal debit registration I never did before) as long as it's saving me a couple bucks.

I'm actually grateful someone on the internet trusted me for once and kept my items that long (and got them before I even paid). Most people don't and I will lose the deal if it's a spur of the moment paypal thing where I have to wait for paypal to do anything.

[goomba478]

Rogan, it's all good. I know you better now. But before you had just requested a random list of games and said you "might" be interested in them so I wasn't sure. Now I know you wanted them so we're good :) I was cheated a lot in the past where I'd buy items for people and they'd never pay me and it'd be too late to return them, so I had to change my policies up a bit.

I won't always buy items ahead of time, trust me it's a rarity, it's just that the Games Day sale was a really, really limited window of time and I didn't want you to miss out :) You'll be very happy once you get all your games ^_^

Thanks again!

[RoganSarine]

Yeah, I was still impressed though someone did it for me... Most people are very untrusting on the internet, I understand why... but sometimes it sucks.

You definitely made me a returning customer for it :P (Which is good since our dollar is finally rising to a nice standard... Once it gets to 88 cents it'll be great since it'll be like I'm taxed on everything from the states only... 94 cents would be ideal minimum) On a side note, when did you do the conversion? If you did it kind of within the last week (since I sent the payment the price rose 6 cents) the money I sent actually rose 6-7 bucks :P

[Fanboy]

Hey Goomba,

I just sent in another order through email. Can you let me know if/when you get it? Thanks!

[CrushEm]

Goomba, just seeing if you received my reply to your e-mail earlier this week?

[goomba478]

Fanboy and CrushEm yes I got your messages. Will get back to you tonight after I get home from work ;) Thanks!

[Firestorm]

Canadian dollar has been steadily increasing lately (knocks on wood). It's at $0.878 US now =)

[jeffx]

Yup, it's now become much cheaper to order the new Atlus games (I still haven't preordered Devil Summoner) from amazon.com -> goomba than amazon.ca

[goomba478]

Firestorm, that's fantastic! I noticed that too the other day when I did a transfer from CAD to USD :) Looks like the magical ratio of 1:1 may be coming back in due time.

It's great for you guys, and definitely good for me too. Now that I have more free time thanks to my new job, I'm really looking forward to a busy summer with GFC orders ^_^ Thanks for all you guys do for me and for spreading the word about my services. I have to get some business cards printed up because lately I get a lot of "I heard about your service from a friend" remarks :) Puts a smile on my face every time. Thanks!!!!

[game_fanatic]

hey goomba, could I get an approximate price on this? Thanks!

http://www.amazon.com/Double-Black-Ralph-Lauren-Toilette/dp/B000P279NY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1242004576&sr=8-1

[goomba478]

game_fanatic, check your Email. I have sent you an invoice estimate for you :) THANKS!

[ragnar14]

Hey Goomba, can you pretty please bid $14.00 (I reckon after fees and such that'd put me in the $25CAD range) on this eBay item for me:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=139973&item=290315996646

It ends in 14 hours, so hopefully you'll get a bid in. Why do people list short auctions? Like who checks eBay for rarities every other day?

[goomba478]

ragnar14, Do you want me to bid $14.00 as the actual bid (which doesn't include the $4.00 shipping that the seller charges) or did you want me to bid $10.00 which with the $4.00 is $14.00 total. Please specify :) I will send you an invoice once you let me know. Thanks buddy.

[Fanboy]

Fanboy and CrushEm yes I got your messages. Will get back to you tonight after I get home from work ;) Thanks!

Hey Goomba,

I didn't get the message on Saturday night. Can you resend, please? Thanks!

Also, did you get the updated message I sent? I found a discount code after all.

[ragnar14]

ragnar14, Do you want me to bid $14.00 as the actual bid (which doesn't include the $4.00 shipping that the seller charges) or did you want me to bid $10.00 which with the $4.00 is $14.00 total. Please specify :) I will send you an invoice once you let me know. Thanks buddy.

I'd want a bid of $14 + $4s/h = $18 + your fees should push it into the $22USD range. Which is around my acceptable max bid :) Of course I kinda doubt we'll win. I've only noticed 3 of these discs appear on eBay over the last couple years, and 2 of em sold for $50+ (the other one had a cheap Buy-It-Now). But it's eBay, maybe we'll get lucky ;)

[goomba478]

Great news Ragnar14! You won it for only $5.26 shipped from the eBay seller. How's that for a good price ^_^ So much for you not planning on winning it :) Woo hoo!

If you could, send $10.50 USD to me at my personal account when you get a chance. I already paid for it and should mail it out in about a week. Thanks again!

[ragnar14]

Excellent :D That's why I like collecting rare stuffs. If it's rare enough nobody remembers what it's worth ;)

I'll send you the money within a couple hours, I just need to make my way over to my computer to do so. Oh, I'll use a credit card too, so it's fine if I use your business account? I'll tack on extra $$ of course, I know it ain't free.

[goomba478]

Fanboy, I am not sure if I got any updated messages from you. I'll go to check and make sure it didn't go into the junk mail folder :)

ragnar14, yeah that's fine if you use my business account. I appreciate you remember to add a bit to cover the fees :) Thanks!

[spike32]

Thanks for the invoice Goomba but I've been talking to the ebay seller and he's a complete dufus and is obviously not dedicated to his auctions and keeps blaming everything on something else. Not worth doing business with.

[goomba478]

spike32, yeah I know what you mean. I just wrote him though and he said, " Thanks I forgot what date was on there. I am back but on and off. My shipping is about a week behind. Let me know if you need anything. I can get items out up till Wednesday this week."

So if you did want to buy it from him, let me know. Thanks!

[spike32]

Na its fine, i'll probably look elsewhere. I just hate to keep requesting things from you then denying them, makes me feel like I'm using you :oops: Thanks again for your time.

[goomba478]

It's all good spike32. As long as it's not costing me anything, it's not a problem :) If I was buying all the items like I used to do in the past that'd be another story. You're all set in my book, no hard feelings =) Better luck next time!

[spike32]

You used to buy everything first :bomb: I can just imagine how that went.

[goomba478]

Yeah it was a disaster. I got cheated a lot, so I stopped that really fast.

The good news is that my service has come along way and now things are very standardized with billing and such :) The more experience I get, the better my services will be for you guys. My service will mainly stay unchanged as time goes on, but it will get more and more streamlined and somewhat more automated as it goes on. Thanks for all your support everyone. I couldn't do it without you guys!

[spike32]

yea, you have nowhere to go but up! You got a solid system going on now. If only you could send us automated invoices, that'd save you a bunch of time ;) although that'd be confusing to set up. So I'm sure we all say Thanks to you too :D

[goomba478]

I am working on something even better than automated invoices to be honest with you. It will work something like this:

1) You go to my Direct Request page (just like now) and fill it out like normal.
2) After you submit it will show you a summary of the order you want and ask you if you want to add additional items. If you do, then it will give you a chance to fill in more. You can add as many as you want.
3) Once you are done entering items, a summary page will show on the screen and give you a chance to verify it.
4) If you agree, then you will say OK and it will show a virtual invoice with an estimate of all costs, shipping and fees.
5) The page will give you a chance to pay right away with full payment instructions. GFC members (those who use direct payments/direct funds) will be given a discount equal to about 6%, and those who use a credit card will pay the standard fees as normal.
6) The page will generate a unique page for you to check out. If you aren't ready to pay right away, then you can come back to it (a link will be Emailed to you to return to) and only you can check out there. If you don't buy the items, then there's nothing else to worry about. It will clear out of the system in about a week or two and I won't have to worry about anything as it's all behind-the-scenes.
7) If for some reason your item needs special attention or you wish to contact me directly about it and do it traditionally, then you will have a link on there to do that.

How's that sound? That's my goal. I hope to have a system like this by the end of summer. We'll see ;)

I hate the idea, HATE IT! You took my idea, and you gave it a 1-up. How dare you outsmart me :rofl: Seriously though, I really hope you get that implemented, it would be completely awesome to see something like that happen.
