ahh alrighty, I've been looking for something similar for my iPod Touch, but it seems the best alternatives are the Zagg and BestSkinEver things, but I was hoping for something actually plastic and hard-shelled...the hunt continues! Thanks!
These shells are a combo of plastic and rubber
Edit:
BTW Goomba I will take it. Send me an invoice!

Hey Goomba, just wondering if you got my PM for the PSP Stamina battery at Gamefunk?
gsrce
06-10-2009, 10:56 AM
Is this something I will need to have a Canadian address for? I've noticed a lot of companies require a Canadian mailing address (which I obviously don't have). Hopefully not :( I have almost $200 CAD now in credit from Amazon.ca and no way to retrieve it =P
I'll take the credit off of your hands next month if you want Goomba.
Regarding the address, if you need one, feel free to use mine.

CrushEm, you will definitely see me out west. You guys think I'm crazy, but I'm really going to keep growing GFC :) We have 500 orders so far and nearly 300 customers total. My goal is to reach 1000 customers and I'll be doing pretty good. With the way the economy is here in the States (and worldwide) I need to do something to stay ahead and if it means ramping up my services I'll do whatever it takes. Glad the package got their safely!
I will go ahead and look through my PMs Jbently. I don't recall seeing that one. Pat_McCrotch, excellent! I do my best ^_^ I strive for one-day-turnarounds but with some orders it's just not possible (especially if there are multiple items) but sometimes I luck out. Once I get rid of all my past stock, I plan to focus 75%-90% of my time with just GFC related orders and that'll mean a lot of great things for you guys :)

goomba, what's the current going price on XBL cards? need one soon
The user SmurfAlmighty is selling the 12+1 codes for $25 it looks like (was $30 before) and it seems like it is legit. Although he doesn't accept Paypal for them. Maybe if we can get a few interested people who need the live cards we can have Goomba do a group buy on our behalf? Even after Goomba's service fee, it will still be under $30 US for a sub.

Goomba said he has lots of emails going to spam for some reason, so that may be the case. I'd say PM is probably better, as he'll always get those =)
Also, Goomba, any update on being able to get my stuff out this week? =D
goomba478
06-12-2009, 01:05 PM
Gsrce, yeah PM is always safest but Emails are better for archival. Either way works though. Your Blu-Rays are still not in yet, though Warner Bros. just sent confirmation that the Harry Potter ones are going out soon. Looks like I'll have to wait until I get back if we're going to mail those out. Hopefully they will get here soon.
Setite, I did get your Email, I just haven't been home much the last two days with enough time to send and invoice. I will try to do so very shortly (hopefully by tonight). Very sorry. I'm having some money troubles in regards to having all my bills come in on the same week as my trip, so I've been working extra hours and essentially just paying bills all week (or trying to figure out how to). I will get back to you soon!

** Updated**
Jbently, it looks like SmurfAlmighty is willing to send me the codes. I'm going to go ahead and try to put in an order for 10. Since I'm strapped for cash right now, and since he wants to be paid in concealed cash, I'm going to require you guys to pre-pay for the cards. I will get the codes sometime in the next week hopefully (I believe he is sending the codes through PM/Email so it shouldn't take long). If you want a card, please PM me. Thanks! I'm only ordering 10 for now, so it's first come first served as always. Good luck!

06-13-2009, 01:06 AM
Answers For the Xbox Live Cards:
1) Do they work in Canada? Yes, obviously :) I wouldn't sell them to you guys if they didn't. This is not to be confused with Xbox Points that DO NOT work in Canada (as far as I know). Xbox Live cards DO work though.
2) Do they stack with your existing subscription? Yes! If you have an Xbox Live account, and buy a card, then it will just extend your expiration date by 13 months. Pretty cool!
3) Can I order more than one? Yes, as long as you pre-pay then that's fine. Don't hog them all though ^_^ I want to make sure everyone can get one, as these deals are very far and few between.
4) Can you get the card and have me pay afterward? I'm sorry to say but I need you to pre-pay before I can get them. I'm buying them from a fellow CAG and he's being very generous to offer it at such a great price. For this reason I need you to pre-pay so I can send him the money. I should have the code to you very quickly.
5) Where do I send the $30 USD? - Glad you asked. If you are paying with direct funds, please send your money to: jjparks@improcomics.org. This account is a personal account that CANNOT accept US Dollars. So if you are paying with a credit card please send to: Canadapayments@improcomics.org. Be sure to mention who you are in your payment info (say "Hey this is XX_Man_XX from CAG paying for the Xbox Live 13 Month Card"). After I receive the cards I will send them to all the people who pre-paid. If for some reason it doesn't work out and I don't get the cards or I run out early, I will send them out to the people in the order I received the payments and if I don't have a card for you, I will of course refund you 100%. Thanks guys!

Glad you're enjoying your trip, you won't have a problem finding free wi-fi @ downtown Toronto. While you're there checkout the restaurants at Chinatown (inexpensive and tasty) or catch a Jays game, good seats should be cheap.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it :) I'm now in Toronto and happily so. Having a good start to my birthday thus far. I'm going to head down to Eggspectation for breakfast, meet a fellow CAG around lunch and then just roam around the city.
The good news is that so far everything has worked according to plan. The bad news is my home computer was left on and open so that I could remote desktop to it, and for whatever reason, I cannot connect to it. Therefore if you want to contact me please just use CAG PMs. If my box fills up I'll try to fill it up. I can't really check if packages have arrived at my house or whatever since I'm up Canada, but I will be returning tomorrow night. I will work it all out ^_^
Thanks again! I will get back to you all soon. I am going to have a LOT to sort through when I get back hehe. Gotta love vacations ;)

goomba478

Great News Everyone! I'm back and I survived my trip to Canada :) over 24 hours of driving in total (man that's a lot in retrospect) but I had a great time as did the Misses. It seems that we even managed to dodge all the rain/thunderstorms that were supposed to be happening when we were there. I don't think we got a drop of rain the entire time up there.
Now that I'm back I have a LOT of Emails to go through (more than 300 actually), so just bear with me. The one thing I didn't really consider was how incredibly inconvenient it was in Canada not having my cell phone work and not having internet everywhere I go. Here in the US I use my iPhone for up-to-the-second Emails, web searches, map lookups, etc. In Canada I didn't have that luxury so I as constantly having to wait for free Wi-Fi hotspots or run back to my hotel just to use the Internet. Bummer. The good news is, I'm back and I'm going to get right on it :)
So please, please, please bear with me ^_^ I will get back to all your Direct Requests, invoices, mailings, etc.
== ansomatica, I LOVED Eggspectation. So much in fact that I went not only to the Montreal one, but the one in Toronto as well :) It was fantastic! I tried the Chicken Eggs Benedict (to die for!) as well as the "Eggspectation" omelet. My wife tried two different Crepe combinations and they were delicious as well. Thanks so much for the recommendation! ==

I will hopefully get to all Direct Requests tomorrow. I'm really sorry. I only go on vacation like once a year, so I assure you it's nothing to worry about :) I'm usually very punctual as most people can tell you. Thanks again! I'm off to bed now, have to work at 8:00 AM. Cya!

Anyway, if you manage to get more XBL cards... Could I "reserve" a few? Four would be ideal, but I don't want to be a hog (even though I am just being the middle man for 3 other people) so as many as I could get would be great :P

RoganSarine, if I knew for a fact that I could get that many cards I would let you reserve them, but at the moment I don't want to go through that if I can't get the cards. I will let you know sometime next week whether or not I can get more.

Both invoices you've sent have been paid Goomba.
Just want to make sure you received my last PM about sending the SD DVD's along with the HP Blu set.
I'm moving at the end of the first week of July, so the quicker you can get stuff out to me the better =D
Don't work too hard though =P

06-20-2009, 01:07 AM
Gsrce, yes I got your message about shipping them together with the Harry Potter Blu Rays, but the only problem with that is that it would have to be Priority Mail as it would be more than 4 pounds. I'll try it out though if you want to go that route. Together it probably wouldn't be much more anyhow. I'll try :) Thanks.

I have six of the Xbox Live Codes now guys. I will be sending them to people in the order that I received money. I will receive the rest of the codes around Thursday of this week, so keep in touch. If everything goes smoothly I hope to have more codes the following week. I will have to increase the prices a few dollars though as SmurfAlmighty raised his prices (from $25 to $30). Those who paid already will be locked in at the $30 price, even though in theory I'm losing money on them ... oh well ^_^ View it as a personal thank you for all the support you've given me.

Hey Goomba, supposedly Gamestop is handing out Monster Hunter Freedom Unite demos, see:
http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=74240&affid=3000&WT.mc_id=061609nl
Can you please try to snag one when you're at your local shops? They're free after all, and I'd happily pay you some money for one :)
goomba478
06-21-2009, 08:43 PM
I will definitely check that out for you ragnar, though my stores usually ask me to buy something to get the free things. If they have one though I'll be happy to get one.
Oh and you guys may be interested. Amazon.com has these in stock right now:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51PrQDqqHaL._AA280_.jpg
$80 + $30 + $2 Service Fee = $112 USD total. Quite a good stick :)

It would depend on how well you wanted it packed I'd assume.
To receive it in a bubble mailer it would probably be around $8 or so I'd say, upwards of $10.

3) Fighting Joysticks & Specialty Flight Sticks

Hey Goomba, I have a little bit of a backwards request if possible...
A couple of my american friends havn't responded yet, but while I wait, I thought I'd ask you incase that it's possible since with previous services your obviously trustworthy :P
I was wondering if I would be able send you money through paypal, and if you could buy american PSN cards for me. Also, PSN cards are taxed right? Only reason I ask is because I know if you use a direct credit card on the PSN Network your not taxed in america, but I assume if you buy PSN cards retail they are taxed your 6% state tax.

telepathy, you're looking at around $400-$430 USD total for a Dissidia PSP bundle shipped to Canada. Not sure if that's worth it to you or not, but that's typically what they go for. It of course makes a difference too if you're willing to get a used one over a new one, but I'm assuming you want a new one?
kech, I checked Target yesterday for another CAG and they had NONE of the sale items. My Target sucks for sales. I think they intentionally get no sale items or liquidate their items to other stores or something. There's no way that they can never have any of the items listed in the sales on CAG. Also, we don't even have a "discount section" or "sale section" like many other buyers say their stores do. Oh well. I like Target a lot, just not for sales. Sorry :)

Aha...ragnar14, I think you're onto something. I completely forgot that they were releasing the Dissidia PSP in the USA at Gamestop. I read about it ages ago and it slipped my mind. You're right, he probably was asking about that one and not the import Japanese one. I may have to pick up one of those for myself. I have a PSP-2000 and don't have a 3000 (nor do I have the money for a PSP Go...not sure I like not having a UMD drive).
Thanks for filling me in! In that case it'd probably be around $230 USD shipped to Canada. I'm not sure if I can get one or not though, but I will look into it!

Magiic, yup I sure did. I forgot I had Ikaruga on the store website so I had to hunt down another copy for you (and I was able to find one even better than the one I had listed). So you'll be happy to know that while not perfect, the copy I shipped you does not have a deep scratch on the disc as listed on the site. Hope you enjoy the game (it's awesome but quite hard!) and everything. Good to have you back buddy!

I'm being completely honest here, but I doubt you'd be saving much after the shipping. I'm assuming that it will cost quite a bit ($50-$60-ish?). Just a guess though as I don't know the exact weight. Let me know if you'd be interested. I can look into it for you!

Rabid it'd be about $10-$12 total to ship including insurance. Let me know if you want to bid on it. Please note for all eBay items I require pre-payment. If you win the item for less I will refund you the difference. Thanks.

06-29-2009, 06:41 PM
Not bad, alright try a maximum of $50 on the auction, less if you can, of course. If I can get it for that much I'd be pretty happy, be saving myself quite a bit from buying it locally.

Hi goomba, I got a quick question in regards to shipping rates from the States.
1: Does shipping cost varies from one state to another? Or should it be the same throughout?
2: Does shipping increase base on weight or size of the parcel? or both?
3: Is there a maximum value per parcel?
4: How much does it usually cost to ship 3-5 games? 15+ games?
goomba478
06-29-2009, 09:39 PM
Rabid, I'm sorry but I wasn't able to get the bid in on time. Next time if you find an item please try to give me at least 2-3 hours warning if you can. Since my job hours are random day to day, giving a little more time is good for setting up the proxy bids. Really sorry man, I tried :( I didn't get your Email until the item had ended though sorry to say.
Rabid619

Don't worry about it, honestly I wasn't expecting you to be around when I was posting lol. Thanks for trying, though.
goomba478
06-29-2009, 10:00 PM
Puppet, here are some answers to your questions. Answers are in GREEN.
1: Does shipping cost varies from one state to another? Or should it be the same throughout?
Most places don't charge extra from one state to another when using First Class Mail, but UPS services and Priority Mail and those types of things do very by distance. The US is divided into mail regions (roughly 5-6 of them). But most sites don't charge extra based on state. If you have a particular item you'd like to know about, let me know.
2: Does shipping increase base on weight or size of the parcel? or both?
Of course weight is the main determining factor. Size of the package only factors in if the box is more than 3 feet wide or something like that. I forgot the exact numbers, but it doesn't make a huge difference. It's mostly the weight.
3: Is there a maximum value per parcel?
For customs and insurance purposes yes, but I can ship quite a large amount of items if you are willing to pay the fees. I believe the number is around $45-50 USD that you don't have to pay any fees. Over that, it's subjective to the customs operator I suppose.
4: How much does it usually cost to ship 3-5 games? 15+ games?
For estimation purposes, one game weighs about 6 oz. shipped. All prices are estimates only and for first class USPS (unless noted):
01 Games = $03.00 USD
06 Games = $13.00 USD
15 Games = $33.00 USD [Priority Mail - All packages more than 4 pounds]
30 Games = $40.00 USD [Priority Mail - becomes less per game with more weight]
Hope that helps give you a good idea :)
PuppetYuber
06-29-2009, 10:13 PM
Wow thanks for the quick reponse!
That would explain why shipping guide books is so expensive if it is based on weight.
So shipping 15 games and 30 games will both cost $33 USD? :o
goomba478
06-29-2009, 10:19 PM
No of course 30 games would cost more (though not much more). I just edited it for you for an estimate of 30 games. Priority Mail is faster than first class and is based on 1 pound increments of weight. So shipping 6 pounds is the same as 6 pounds 11 oz. Once you hit 7 pounds then it goes to the next amount. Kind of interesting really.
PuppetYuber
06-29-2009, 10:33 PM
That is very interesting indeed, thanks for the quick response! That gives me a fairly good idea of what to expect in the future.
It is so expensive damn it LOL!
goomba478
06-30-2009, 12:26 AM
You're welcome PuppetYuber. It's not really that expensive when you think about it. If you can save $20 on a game or more, then paying $3-$5 to get it shipped directly to you isn't so bad. You help me and I help you :) we need each other, which is why the system works as well as it does ^_^
PuppetYuber
06-30-2009, 12:47 AM
Oh no, I didnt mean it that way. You have been a great help to us Canadians, and I appreciate everything you are doing for us. Especially it is rarely to find cheap games in Canada. What I meant was shipping in general is expensive, especially US is just right below us lol!
I can ship a parcel to Asia with as low as 2 dollars!
goomba478
06-30-2009, 12:52 AM
Oh okay lol. I agree with you that shipping prices do seem a bit unusual. For instance, I can ship to Hawaii and California cheaper than to Toronto, even though distance wise Toronto (which is in Canada yes, but closer than California) is 3x closer. Doesn't really make sense, but these things seldom do :) Oh well.
It's all good. Maybe some day we'll come up with ways to transport packages magically anywhere in the world instantly and everywhere will cost the same :) A Goomba can dream, can't he?

It makes sense when you consider shipping within the US means that the package is only handled by USPS while shipping to Canada means it's handled by both USPS and Canada Post.

I don't have prices really, I can list what I got them for (I can't sell them for less) but I don't really have set prices. I was planning to sell on eBay but I thought I'd give you guys a shot at them first if you like. Here is what I paid:
Final Fantasy (PSP): $12.50 USD
MadWorld (Wii): $30 USD
Punch Out (Wii): $40 USD
If you can pay somewhere around those prices plus shipping I'll be happy to sell them to you. Thanks!

I'm going to be further developing my lowball system soon to encompass other types of auction systems I have up my sleeves. Maybe that'll be a good way to unleash the flood of games that are STILL (3 years later) clogging up my office lol.

Hey guys, I just got back home from work. Today was pretty busy considering tomorrow is the 4th of July (our Independence Day here in the USA). Here are some responses for you:
telepathy, you're quite welcome. Thank YOU!
Firestorm, looks like they're out of stock. Sorry! I would have let you know sooner but I just got home :(
adrianchan, I don't have any more copies of Valkyria Chronicles but I can still get them relatively cheap through Amazon and other places. Let me know if you'd want one. Won't be a GREAT deal, but still a lot cheaper than Canadian prices generally speaking.
telepathy #2, Yes I will send you an invoice. I'll try to send it tonight before midnight (when I'm going to sleep. I have to get up at 7AM to go back to work. Busy, busy!)
EggViper, I'm all sold out of Valkyria Chronicles for now, but am hoping to get more in soon enough. BlazBlue is out here in the US now, and yes Amazon sells the LE version. Keep in mind it weighs about 1-2 pounds shipped, so it'll cost slightly more than a normal game would to ship.
Afrodiziak, I will try to get back to you as soon as possible as well ^_^ Thanks!

To all of you who wished me a Happy 4th of July, thank you! I had a really good one despite working most of the day at the casino. I made some good money though (relatively speaking) so it was worth it. Then afterwords took a little drive down to the ocean just to check out the beautiful weather (first day in nearly a month that it didn't rain), had a quick bite to eat and visited a friend of mine I haven't seen for 4 years and came home to play Persona 3 FES (can you believe I've own the game for nearly two years now and JUST started playing it? What's wrong with me!). Couldn't ask for much more than that. I didn't see the fireworks but I will hopefully be seeing the big show which is a week from today :)
Like I said, a great 4th of July ^_^

07-05-2009, 01:27 AM
Hey Goomba, I thought I'd ask since this is kind of a desperate request. I've promised the following games for my brother for 2 years, so I am kind of desperate to get them. I had an ebay seller who was supposed to send them to me in a shipment, but forgot (I have over a thousand dollars worth of buys from her). However, her house loan apparently did not go through because she no longer has the same phone number yadda yadda.
Anyway, in short, I was wondering if there was any chance you could find some clearance deals (or deals in general) on the following and quote me on them. I know you normally don't hunt for me, but while I scour the CAG threads and use the price tracker... I was wondering if you have any on hand or could get me quotes on each game individually.
The top two are probably your most hated to see request since they are a pain to get but...
Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga 1 (There is a #1 and a #2... I want the first one) [PS2] $30
OR DDS Deluxe... I already have #2, but if you can't find #1 individually I guess I can go for the deluxe with both

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000G77X34/ref=nosim/cheapassgam08-20
Metal Gear Solid 4 (collectors edition if possible) [PS3] - Want $35 for collectors -- It was on sale in canada for this price forever... It's currently $45 CAD + 12% tax, so I don't want to spend more than that :P
(No collectors price I can find...)
Killzone [PS2] $18
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00020LZAW/ref=nosim/cheapassgam08-20
Killzone 2 (if you happen to get a nicely priced copy under 40 somehow) [PS3]
No More Heroes $20

If you could get these as you see them for the prices listed that'd be sweet... I will pay like I always do, but I don't know when you will see this or how long some of the sale last.
Also, did ESA ever restock their coupon codes for amazon? A lot the walmart links I provided are equivalent on Amazon.

Hey Goomba! The invoice actually says $27 so... Should I be sending $25 or $27? And where would "Instant Transfer" fall under? Credit/Debit or the Basic funds? Thanks!! :D
But yeah, I've already played the game actually but I wanted to get another copy of it for my friend to play. I managed to miss the amazon.com sale for P4 so I'm still sad about that. :cry:
goomba478
07-05-2009, 02:14 PM
Ginx, if you open the PDF and look at the line-by-line descriptions you'll see the reason. The $27 includes $2.00 for shipping insurance and like the PDF says it is 100% optional.
So if you want insurance send $25, no insurance send $25. Totally up to you! Thanks ^_^ I have a few copies of Persona 4 in stock as well, so if you want one of those let me know. I have to go to work now but will respond to you tonight when I get home. Thanks!
PS: Instant Transfer (if the money is in your account already) should just be direct-funds which is okay for personal funds. If they are funded by a credit/debit card then it would have to use the Credit Card account. Thanks!

Afrodiziak: Thanks, I got your payment. Much appreciated. I'll let you know when your item ships.
Adrianchan56, yes I'm VERY dedicated ^_^ I do make a little side money on the transactions, but really it's a very time-consuming and very involved job. You guys have no idea how much behind-the-scenes things go into working out deals for GFC lol. Maybe some day I'll document it all in photos or video. You'll think I'm nuts (my wife does, for sure).
blackric: Thanks! I saw that you signed up through me. I added you as a friend on there. Much appreciated. I've had a LOT of Goozex trades and love the system there ^_^ Thanks again :)

Invoice me up... I wanna see the final cost with shipping if you would be so kind.
Ha... In like a month I am going to spend nearly half a grand through you

Okay I'll start your invoice tonight and then I'll finish it tomorrow. I've been working 7 days straight ever since I got back from the Canada trip. The next two weeks will continue to be crazy busy for me as well since we have our Summer Poker Tournaments coming up and we'll be working 40-50 hours a week. I'm trying to keep up with you guys :) As my customer pool grows it's becoming a lot of work ^_^ I wish I had enough money to hire people to help me, but that's totally not workable yet. I'd get my wife to help me more, but she doesn't seem really interested in packing boxes and ordering items and sending invoices and such. I'll just continue to churn away at all the Emails and invoices. Hang in there ^_^

Hey don't worry about it, you're doing a pretty damn good job keeping up with our unhealthy gaming addiction. lol
Shoot me an email when you've ordered the game Goomba. Just so I know that the order is in and I can stop refreshing the Amazon page to see if it's still in stock :p

Hey Goomba, did you get my PM?
Hey J. Its been awhile since I've ordered anything and I got some birthday cash burning a hole in my pocket.
Can you send me an invoice for http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Isolator-Earphones-Black/dp/B000BQSGMM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1246932471&sr=1-1#productPromotions with standard shipping.

Hey Goomba,
I have two quick questions. Could you give me feedback for the XBL card I bought from you? It's ok if you missed it; I left mine a little late to begin with.
Also if Bionic Commando for 360 goes on sale for $20 tomorrow http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=229890 would I be able to order one from you? Heck I'll throw in a third question. Could I pay for $10 of it (Bionic C) with Amazon.com GC? I got a few from Swag Bucks hanging around.
goomba478
07-07-2009, 09:09 PM
Usuyami, yes I did. I haven't been online much in the last 24 hours due to crazy Severe Thunderstorms in my area. Looks like the weather is clearing up though so I will respond to all my PMs (quite a few to go through ^_^).
Jest, yup long time no see! I will send you an invoice within the next few hours. Thanks ^_^
dancrane212, sorry about that...I'll go and leave you feedback immediately. I will definitely keep an eye out for the Bionic Commando for 360 at the $20 price point. Yes you can pay with Amazon GC's. Not a problem. Just make sure to give me the code along with your payment so I can buy it in time. I'll be at work tomorrow so hpoefully it won't be a time-limited offer. Thanks!

No problem man, I know you must be busy helping the rest of us CanCaggers (that sounded better in my hea...nope it never did!).
So it looks like the price on Bionic Commando is confirmed :D I wasn't sure what the tax is in your state so I require an invoice. Thanks again!

RoganSarine,
Let me know if you got the invoice. We had a lot of sever thunderstorms yesterday and our power/internet were out on and off. I tried sending it last night but it wasn't working so I re-sent it this morning about fifteen minutes ago. Hope you got it. Thanks!

** GFC STATUS UPDATE **
Just wanted to let you guys know that I am 100% caught up again with Direct Requests. If you sent in a form on my site and did NOT receive an invoice or Email from me, please let me know as you should have by now. In addition, if you have sent me a request through CAG's PM system or on the forum and have not heard from me...let me know. I'm human and miss posts from time to time. I try my best to keep up with all the requests, but they come in various forms and from all directions so it can be tough to keep track of ^_^ As a reminder. The best way to always request items is to use our official form:
http://www.gamesforcanada.com/direct-request.php
Since that way generates a concrete record for me to search as well as all your pertinent information. Thanks again guys!
RoganSarine
07-08-2009, 12:31 PM
Just as a confirmation, I can pay by credit card while the money transfers correct?
Also, you seemed to have missed Rogue Galaxy on that list, if you could update that. I will quickly look at the amazon.ca and local prices to see if I can get a comparable price (I am heading to the store today unexpectedly, so I will actually be around there for once).
Also, I do not want to be a pain, but your PDF did mess up. Does that say that you will not calculate shipping due to the obscure size until you receive the games? It's skewed by the red text and I can barely read it on my small laptop monitor.

Taking your suggestion on direct requests, I just left one for Bionic Commando (360). Thanks again.

Thanks Dancrane212, I sent out an invoice :) Happy to be of service.

07-09-2009, 02:36 AM
Rogan, I actually ordered Rogue Galaxy for you (for fear that it would sell out at that price) but you're right, I forgot to put it on the invoice. I'll go back and revise that for you :)
As for the template, I'll edit it so that the red text doesn't overlap. That happens when you have more than 5-7 items. Sorry about that ^_^

Hey Goomba, is there any way you think you could get your hands on the Blazblue Artbook for around $40?

Hey Goomba, could do me another favor and watch the Tensei games or order them? I am having problems with my credit card -- for whatever reason my bank flagged it, so I gotta go figure that out and they are generally lame and make me clear it in person.
I got the funds transfering from my account -- but I don't know if I can make it out to the bank tomorrow to do a temporary direct payment (and temporarily pay the 6% and when the funds transfer refund my credit bill) via paypal. The other games shouldn't sell out, but the rogue galaxy and tensei games have me worried... Basically because they're at a good price // kinda hard to grab // I promised those 3 specifically to my brothe rfor over two years but my other seller flunked out on me.
Also, Okami is $19 from amazon -- $3 difference.. but then it should come with the rest of the amazon items:
http://www.amazon.com/Okami-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B000Z9A95M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1247130379&sr=8-1
Anyway, I'll officially get back to you about the credit card thing tomorrow and potentially see if I can use someone elses (it'll be hard convincing them nothing will be charged to their card since it will be refunded though).
And not to be a pain... But apparently my brother bought Tomb Raider Anniversary already and just never told/showed it to me -- so if you could remove that...

07-09-2009, 10:50 AM
telepathy, sadly only one person took me up on my offer when I had the opportunity to Pre-Order Blazblue and get the artbooks for free, but I did go ahead and order 5 of them from an eBay seller for around $50 a piece (I know...expensive...). I'm going to be offering them first come, first serve at cost on my website sometime next week hopefully. If you buy one with a few games it will soften the blow. From what I hear, the artbook is really awesome ^_^
goomba478
07-09-2009, 11:15 AM
Rogan, okay that's a long list of things lol but yes I can do those for you. I'll go ahead and order the Tensei games knowing that you'll follow through with your commitment. I'll remove the Tomb Raider Anniversary on there as well. Thanks! I will send you an updated invoice tonight then. Cya soon, I gotta go to work now :)

Too bad my 360 RROD'd again. :(

07-09-2009, 11:33 AM
dancrane212, very sorry to hear about your Xbox. At least when you do get it back you'll have a great game to play on it :) Also, you sent the payment amount for my personal account but sent it to my business one. I am going to send you a money request for the difference ($1.75). Thanks!

** Update for RoganSarine **
Looks like the prices of your SMT games jumped up. Sorry man. If you want to send the money for them when your credit card clears I will try to get them for you if the prices come down again. At the moment the prices spiked back up to pre-sale prices. Keep me posted. Sorry but there's not much I can do about that. I was going to buy them if they were at the $30 mark, but I can't buy them at $60+ . I know you'll understand. I doubt you want to pay $60+ anyhow for Nocturne.

07-09-2009, 11:51 AM
Sorry about that, I was up way to late last night so I am a little groggy. I thought that 29.50 x 6% = 31.50, mind telling me where the $1.75 is coming from?
goomba478
07-09-2009, 11:55 AM
dancrane212, that did include 6% sales tax for the state of Connecticut (charged to me on all Gamestop orders) but did not cover the Paypal fees. Thanks. I gotta go to work now. Talk to you soon :)
dancrane212
07-09-2009, 12:01 PM
Wasn't the $24.50 including "$3.00 Shipping Charge + 6% Sales Tax"
$20.00 + 6%
+ $3.00
= 24.50
24.50+2(service)+3(shipping)=$29.50-$10 (Gift cards) x 6% =21.50?
On another note I remember reading that you can get free shipping if you use the code "SAVER" on the GS site. Does that work for you?
Sorry about being such a hassle. I guess it is my nature. :bomb:

Thanks goomba, will it show up on twitter? I mean the update as to when u will have it available?
Edit: Actually could I preorder it from you? & how much would it cost with game?

Did you forget to hit "send?" I never got it. :)

So I've got a question. Placed an order a while ago for some Animal Crossing trading cards, since you can't buy them in Canada but the Nintendo USA website has them at a reasonable price (considering availability). Everything seemed fine. But then the stuff I ordered arrived today and looks totally awesome!
Now I'm left thinking: "Where and how can I leave feedback to let other people know that I'm really happy with the whole transaction?"
:D

Click the "Submit Feedback" link there and leave him something nice ;)
RoganSarine
07-09-2009, 09:29 PM
Goomba, I managed to get locally today a copy of Killzone and Killzone 2 for a nice price locally today. If you could take those off that should be the final changes and will reduce the bill nearly a hundred bucks if you take Tomb Raider, killzone, and killzone 2 off.
Also, if you could order Okami like I said before from amazon to save the $4 from not having to pay shipping.
I should all be set then. It should now all fit under the $232 after shipping.
goomba478
07-09-2009, 09:57 PM
dancrane212, it is:
$24.50 (Game + Shipping + CT Sales Tax)
$03.00 (Shipping to Canada)
$02.00 (Insurance Cost)
$02.00 (Service Charge)
$01.89 (Paypal Fee)
----------------------
$33.89 USD - $10.00 Amazon Gift Cards = $22.89
You sent $21.50 which is $1.39 short of the actual total. Make sense? Hopefully ^_^
-----------------------------
telepathy, I will put all new items added on the gamesforcanada Twitter from now on. No matter how small they are :) so you can be sure the artbooks will be on there as soon as they are available. The guy sent them from Massachusetts today so I should have them by Monday. You definitely can pre-order one from me if you like. Did you want a copy of the Xbox version or the PS3 version? Let me know. Thanks!
Jest, I just went ahead and sent your invoice. Hopefully it gets to you ^_^ Thanks!
goomba478
07-09-2009, 09:59 PM
ejamer, I'm so glad that your Animal Crossing cards got to you so quickly! I only mailed them out on 07/03 :) They took a little bit of time to get here from Nintendo, but I mailed them out next day. If you leave feedback on CAG with the link that Ragnar14 put up there, that'd be awesome. I will of course go ahead and return the favor for you ^_^ Hope to do business with you again soon :)
Rogan, okay no problem. I'll remove the Tomb Raider, Killzone 1 & 2 and edit the Okami. Expect an invoice in the next ten minutes or so. THANKS!
dancrane212
07-09-2009, 10:12 PM
Oh, I see what I did wrong. I forgot to include that I didn't want the shipping Insurance :cold: (it was optional right?)
I got it this time, but for the future, can you change my email address to @gmail.com. Thanks buddy!
goomba478
07-09-2009, 10:43 PM
Oh okay well in that case Dan, then if you don't want insurance we're all set :) Yes insurance is always optional. I recommend it for higher-end items and such but the truth is that most of the time it's not entirely needed (only had one package lost in my 12 years of shipping). So yeah, we're all set :) Disregard the difference then.
Jest, sure thing! I was just going by what I had on record ^_^ I shall go ahead and update that immediately :)
dancrane212
07-09-2009, 10:51 PM
Cool, sorry for all the trouble, I suppose I should have mentioned it in the payment. Well now I know for next time! Thanks for working me through it; I really appreciate it :)

07-10-2009, 01:41 AM
Goomba, i want the PS3 version of Blazblue, could i have an estimate?
Edit: If i wanted to bid on multiple books to see if i could get any of them for around $40ish (ive been checking ebay a lot lately), should i just make multiple requests with all the links or would it be better to send you the links, or would it be better to just ask you to see if you could attempt to bid on any artbooks that end up being under $46?
