[Azumangaman]

Hey goomba!
Payment is sent! Thanks for everything and I may have another order coming your way very, very soon.
HINT: Vikings.com is charging $82(!!!!!!) shipping for an authentic jersey thats on sale for 40% off.

[goomba478]

Thanks guys for everyone writing to me and expressing their gratitude and best wishes. I'm happy to say that only two or three of the orders now have not been paid for, which is a significant improvement over when I recently wrote that many people had not paid. I guess my reminder had brought a lot of their attention and we're back on track :)

We are slowly but surely moving out of the past and into the future my friends ^_^ Great things are coming to the GFC website soon. Just wait and see :)

[goomba478]

Ragnar, I sent you an invoice for Yggdra Union PSP + Preorder CD + Your 2 Sega Press Kits :) Thanks! I think I've caught up with everyone's invoices now.

If you ordered something from me but haven't received an invoice yet, please let me know. I wouldn't want your order to slip through the cracks ^_^

[marcus12024]

I got goomba to order some Final Fantasy Trading Arts figures for me from the US Square-Enix store. Everything arrived quickly, was packaged exceedingly well, and communication was awesome throughout the whole process! Definitely one of the best transactions I've ever had on this site (and that's saying something!).

:)

[goomba478]

Marcus, I'm glad you got them ^_^ I knew they'd get there safely and sound. The figures look really, really, really awesome and I was really jealous haha but that's the nature of this business, right?

Just so you guys know...sometimes when I ship out multiple packages to you on the same day...they occasionally will get to you at different times. This has to do with the way the Post Offices do their business, and especially with customs. If a package is held a day or two longer, they will ship the others ones to you first...nothing I can do about that. So if you order more than one package/shipment from me and only get one. Don't fret. Chances are the other ones will be a day or two behind them :)

Thanks again everyone. Glad to see so many happy Canadians this week ^_^

[magiic]

Goomba what are the chances of you shipping out Fallout 3 for the PC to New Zealand when it comes out?

[goomba478]

Are you referring to the exclusive Amazon.com Super limited set? I'm limited to one per household for each of the systems and I think I'm all filled up at the moment. I may be able to ask a friend of mine to order it on behalf.

If you're just talking the original version or even a regular limited edition set then I can do that no problem. If you're talking the exclusive Amazon one, it may be tricky but I'll see what I can do :) When are you moving to New Zealand magiic?

[magiic]

I dont carw what version it is. Whatever is cheapest. I just want to be able to play even if I have to run it on low settings on my Macbook Pro I just want to be able to play it before I get back. I am leaving for New Zealand on Sept.26 and will be there for 10 months.

[goomba478]

Oh in that case of course I can :) GamesForCanada is only for Canada in name...I can of course ship to any country. My terms are still the same. Just be sure to give me your new address. I can definitely get you anything you need =) Be sure to tell your friends in NZ about me ^_^

[magiic]

When I make friends I will be sure to let them know. I will let you know my address whenever I get one lol. I dont even have a place to stay yet so we can cross that bridge when I get there.

[goomba478]

Haha no problem. I'm sure you'll keep in touch plenty with the CAG group and this thread as well :) I got your back. I'm also very jealous...New Zealand is extremely beautiful ^_^ Take care. I gotta get ready for work now.

[Firestorm]

Is it okay if I start telling more people about the site (like creating a topic on GAF?)

And how do you think you'd be able to do if say a dozen people or more wanted a game from you during an Amazon sale or something? Would Amazon even let you order over a dozen copies of the same game?

[goomba478]

Yes that'd be great if you could help me spread the word Firestorm :) I feel comfortable enough with orders now and the process of everything :)

Amazon has no problem with ordering multiple copies of games (at least I never had a problem with it). One time I ordered almost 30 copies of a single game for my online store and it went off without a hitch. The only exception are those special order items that they sometimes limit to one per household. In these cases I can always ask friends of mine to order them for me if necessary or I can use one of my relatives and have it shipped to their house I suppose.

By all means help me spread the word ^_^ I would definitely welcome more business =) Thanks!

[neksus]

Didn't read all ~40 pages, but do you deal with things other than games? Specifically a camera lens from amazon.com :)

[magiic]

Didn't read all ~40 pages, but do you deal with things other than games? Specifically a camera lens from amazon.com :)

he deals with anything and everything, except I assume no-mailable items. Lenses are definagely A-OK. I was going to get him to hook me up with a 5D

[neksus]

Dooooon't buy the 5D yet! It's successor should be out in a few months.

[magiic]

Dooooon't buy the 5D yet! It's successor should be out in a few months.

I will be on the otherside of the world in a few weeks so that isn't really an option. But I decided against it anyways, I need the money for my trip as much as I'd like to bring a 5D with me I'm going to have to make do with my XTi

[Phorty Ounce]

Any new deals on Xbox Live 12+1 Month Cards?

[goomba478]

I only have two of the XBL 13 month cards left. I'm selling them for $43 still.

and yes I can order/ship/sell anything. not just games. In the future I may very well rename the service "Stuff For Canada" :) as it seems games are only about half of my orders as of late. Thanks for filling in newbies while I'm away at work ^_^ much appreciated! I can see why you wouldn't want to read through 40 pages =)

I'm considering to make some short flash videos/youtube videos explaining my services. Might make it easier for newcomers :) Thanks guys! My 6 straight days of working are over...I have my first day off tomorrow (Tuesday) in a long time. *PHEW*

[Rex]

Hey goomba!

I've got a couple orders from Amazon.com I'd like to place with you!

Gears of War 2 (http://www.amazon.com/Gears-Amazon-com-Exclusive-Lancer-Xbox-360/dp/B001CLYL24/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1221573107&sr=8-1)

For this I'd like to get the Limited Edition. If you've got more questions just send me a PM!

Fallout 3 (http://www.amazon.com/Fallout-Amazon-com-Exclusive-Survival-Xbox-360/dp/B0017QL8XE/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1221573739&sr=8-2)

Limited Editions. Yes I am part of the problem :lol:

[goomba478]

Hey there Rex, I'd be happy to order those for you. I may have to pull some strings though because I've already ordered one of the Survival Editions for another CAG so I'd have to ask one of my friends/relatives to order it for me. Would you like me to send you an estimated invoice? If you do then I'll ask one of my friends to order it and he'll give it to me, to mail to you (if that makes any sense). Thanks!

[Rex]

That sounds good to me, send me whatever info you can!

[Azumangaman]

Payment sent for the jersey Goomba :D
You are the best thing thats happened to the Canadian forum ever.

[goomba478]

Payment received :) Thanks so much Azumangaman. That means a lot to me. I really can't take all the credit though...without you guys there really wouldn't be much of a service ^_^ Keep doing what you do and together we will both be happy. Thanks guys as always!

[Phorty Ounce]

Thanks for the reply Goomba. Is the $43 the total for the XBL or is it total + fees?

[goomba478]

$43 includes EVERYTHING. It's actually $41 for the card and $2 for my service fee if you want to get technical. Thanks ^_^

[goomba478]

Hey guys, I want to know what you think of a GamesForCanada Rewards system I'm considering. I can't do anything that is strictly point based on what you buy, but I'm considering to do something point based on the service fees you pay through my service. What I'm considering is to give you back 25% of what you pay in service fees for every order into a prize bank, which you can redeem for free games, merchandise, etc.

Here's an example:

You buy an item from me and pay a $2 Service Charge x 25% Reward Points = $0.50 in points. To keep it less confusing I'd assign a point system similar to Microsoft Points or Wii Points or whatever. So say instead of having $0.50 you'd have 50 points...

Then I could have a website (I'm considering to link it with PrizePiggy.com) where you could cash in say 500 points to get a DS game, or 1000 points to get a better game, and so on. What do you think? Would it be worth it to you guys if I had a decent prize system? It wouldn't cost you anything extra and it'd be a small way of giving back to you. The prizes could be included for free shipping if included with your next order, which also saves on that end of it. Let me know :) I'm looking to start this as soon as October 1st so any input you guys can give me would be great.

I'd also consider allowing you to purchase points at face value to make up the difference if there was a prize you wanted. Let me know! Your feedback means everything ^_^

[Azumangaman]

Sounds great, but do I get points for the hundreds I've spent already :P ?
I don't really care though, because I plan on getting stuff from you as long as you keep the business going.
But its a superb idea, but is there a profit for you in it?
You could up the service fee to like $3 or something...I don't know.

[goomba478]

Yes I would be retroactively giving you guys rewards based on past purchases :) I may have to increase service fees in the future, but at the moment they're staying where they are. I'm more concerned with quantity of orders than I am at making maximum profit on each one. If you have any other ideas or input you'd like to give (including prizes you'd like to see) let me know :)

[Azumangaman]

Haha, thats awesome! It was kind of a joke, because thats a lot to ask, but thats great!

[Phorty Ounce]

That's a great price on the XBL and even greater idea about the points system. Do me a favour though, and see if you could nab one of those $30 XBL packs I keep seeing recently on amazon. I can't seem to get them in time.

[Azumangaman]

Show your thanks to Goomba and join the group I made about him :)
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/group.php?groupid=116

[goomba478]

Haha that's awesome :) I'm really flattered Azumangaman (and others). I guess I do over use the ^_^ smiley...but only because it genuinely portrays my state of happiness and my endless smiling. Thanks guys! Means a lot to me!

[Azumangaman]

I'll pass on both, but they're quite tempting.
Also, you may want to think about changing the price on TWEWY. Every place I've seen it has it for $40.

[goomba478]

Thanks :) You're right. It's regularly available now...I haven't updated the actual site in a while (working on all the behind the scenes and custom orders and trying to sell off my used game stock...down to about 300 more to go). I'll go fix that. Thanks :)

[Rex]

Hey goomba! Any update on my Fallout 3/Gears 2 orders?

If Fallout 3 doesn't work out I'd still like my Gears of War 2 order 100%

Thanks!

[Zyzomys]

Hey Goomba,

Can you get me prices on two sets of Playstation 3 Hardwear Controller Armor (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0013YNL6M/ref=nosim/cheapassgam08-20) delivered. All I really want in the triggers, but I can not seem to find them without the Armor. In fact, just send me the invoice.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks,
Chris

Goomba, I would also be interested in getting one of those :D

[goomba478]

The Playstation 3 Hardwear Controller Armor is as follows:

$10.00 = Controller Armor Itself from Amazon
$13.00 = Shipping to Canada (Item itself weighs ~2+ Pounds)
$02.00 = Service Charge from GamesForCanada
----------
$25.00 = Grand Total (In USD).

I realize it costs more to ship the item then the item is actually worth, but if you still want one Zyzomys and Rex let me know. Thanks!

[Rex]

Haha that's pretty nuts. How much would it cost to ship if you took it out of the package? I'd assume it'd way cheaper that way, because the package looks like a total aesthetic thing.

[Zyzomys]

Adding to what Rex said, what if you opened the packages and just shipped the triggers to me? I have no interest in the armour. I would think the the 4 triggers together, being plastic, could be quite light.

[goomba478]

I could definitely do that for you Zyzomys if you wanted ... No reason I can't ship less to you :) It'd save you on shipping even though the item price would be the same. Are they seperate pieces? I'm not all that familiar with the product. How about this Rex, I can order one for Zyzomys and get an idea of the actual weight. It's possible that Amazon.com is over-exaggerating the weight.

[Rex]

That sounds good to me, goomba, thanks!

[Zyzomys]

Are they seperate pieces?My understanding is that each plastic trigger just slides on to the R2 and R3 flipper. How big can they be? Go ahead and invoice me for two units. I will pay that. Then break them open and package the four trigger pieces in a bubble wrap envelope (with the instructions) and send me another invoice for the shipping. You can do what you want with the armour. Let me know what you think.

Chris

[goomba478]

Okay Chris, no problem. I'll send the invoices for you later tonight :) I have to get some stuff ready for my eBay auctions in the meantime.

[goomba478]

It seems that the reviews for the "armor" part are REALLY crappy anyway, but everyone seems to ADORE the triggers...so definitely ordering it for the triggers seems to make sense. Who needs plated armor on the center of the controller anyway? Talk about an odd marketing decision for a new product :) I'm sending the invoice now Zyzomys.

[Jest]

Whats the total for just the triggers?

[goomba478]

My guess is that it'd be $15 Total for just the triggers (seems like a lot, but hey I'm not one to judge). $10 for item, 3 for shipping, 2 for my services = $15 USD Total.

[Zyzomys]

Sounds good to me. Send on the invoice.

[maigoyume]

Hey goomba, I'm interested in the preorder edition of luminous arc 2 (the one w/ the artbook+soundtrack) how much do you think you can get it for?

[goomba478]

Maigoyume, Luminous Arc 2 + Soundtrack + Artbook should be about $55 USD shipped (includes all taxes, fees, shipping). Let me know if you want me to order it for you. I'll send you an invoice if you do. THANKS!

[goomba478]

Rex, I'm trying to arrange something for you. I won't find out until the end of this week so just hang in there :) I'll let you know about your prospective orders. Thanks for understanding!

[goomba478]

Anyone here interested in Guitar Hero On Tour for the DS? Amazon.com has it for $30 USD today. With shipping + Fees it's about $37-$38 USD. Let me know. It is the DOTD so the price is only good today (Tuesday). Thanks!

[ragnar14]

Thinking of Luminous Arc. Goomba, how much would it cost me to get all 3 of Atlus's upcoming games with goodies ;)

[Rex]

Rex, I'm trying to arrange something for you. I won't find out until the end of this week so just hang in there :) I'll let you know about your prospective orders. Thanks for understanding!

Awesome, thanks! I wasn't sure if I was pestering enough xD

[maigoyume]

Still too pricey right now, thanks for letting me know though :)

[danthemightyone]

Any update on Rhapsody & Disgaea DS bundle yet? :)

[goomba478]

Rex: Don't worry, your "pestering" was effective enough. I just have to contact some people at work to see if it's cool with them to have them order some items if I give them the money and have it delivered to them (due to one per household limitations).

Dan: If I'm not mistaken, you paid for the Disgaea 3 Honor Set, but never paid for the Disgaea DS or Rhapsody. Did you get the invoice I originally sent out for the Disgaea DS? Let me know...I checked all of my Paypal records and only see the Disgaea 3 payment.

Maigoyume: No problem, if they drop in price or if you find any good deals let me know.

Ragnar: I will try to figure it out for you. I'm not sure how much the items weigh (art books, etc.) but if you want I can send you an estimate. Let me know =) Thanks!

[Azumangaman]

I'm sure its too late, but Goomba if you can still get a copy of Guitar Hero DS at the price, go for it. $38 or so with everything is hard to refuse.

[goomba478]

Azumangaman, you got it. I actually went ahead and ordered an extra one just in case one of you did want one :) Glad I found someone who wanted it. The price is just too good to pass down, I agree. Thanks! I'll send you an invoice either tonight or tomorrow. THANKS ^_^

[NolbertoS]

Hey Goomba can you give me a price quote on the Prince of Persia LE. Gamestop USA won't let me buy the thing, cuz my billing address, doesn't match my shipping address. How much would it cost you to buy it and ship it to a US address? Thanks Goomba.

[goomba478]

Hey there NolbertoS, which version did you want the quote for? PS3 or Xbox 360? Please fill me in =) My estimate is:

$63.60 = Actual cost of game plus 6% Sales Tax (My state of CT has 6% tax)
$05.00 = Actual cost of shipping item to Canada
$02.00 = My Service Charged ($2 for first item, $1 for each additional items)
---------
$70.60 USD = Grand Total

Please let me know if you want me to go ahead and order it for you. I'll send you an invoice (I'd need your name, address, email address and phone number to do so). And make sure to tell me Xbox 360 or PS3 version. THANKS!

[NolbertoS]

Wow that was fast..Thx Goomba..It's the 360 version, that's not a bad price quote. Also the shipping address is not to Canada :p..it's a US address, to Seattle, WA particularly, if you can revise the shipping would be great :). I'll see if I have enough funds at the moment and if so, I'll give the green light to order. Thanks a bunch Goomba.

[goomba478]

Oh okay well in that case shipping the item would only be $3 to the US address. So in total it would cost $68.60 altogether. Please PM me with your shipping info, name, email and all that good stuff if you decide to order. Thanks ^_^

Searched thorougly in my emails but did not find an invoice for it. Shoot me an invoice please. Did you receive it?

[heimdal]

Hey Goomba, how's it going?

Haven't bought anything in a while, so I was wondering if you could grab me one of these. That's if - you manage to get a hold of one.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198063

Just to be sure, the 12-month Gold code works in Canada, but not the points, am I right?

[goomba478]

danthemightyone, I sent out the invoice on 8/15/2008 ... I can resend it for you. The invoice was only for the Disgaea DS set though and didn't include Rhapsody. I'll resend in the next couple of hours :) I just got home and have some chores to do first. I didn't actually order it because as I mentioned in a past post, I got burned a couple times from non-paying buyers and ended up with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise that I have no way to use/sell.... so I hope you'll understand. I can still order it as soon as payment is received ^_^

Heimdal, I will try to get you one of those if I can sure. Yes, you are correct...the 12 month card works in Canada but the points do not. They are constantly selling out but if I can get one I'll let you know. Thanks!

[goomba478]

Not sure if any of you guys are big Nightmare Before Christmas fans or not (I know I am...I own the movie several times over and have seen it countless times) but Amazon.com has this week the new Special Collector's Edition Blu Ray version for only $23 (normally $40)... that's almost 50% off. If you want me to get one for you it'll be $28 shipped. Not sure if anyone's interested but I'm ordering a copy so I thought I'd let you guys know. I am a HUGE animation buff, so any movies like this on Blu Ray I have to own. Ciao!

Hope you didn't get burned from Canadian CAGers, goomba, that would be shame than, as you offered your services to them and they backed out in the end. Regarding my purchase, I'll put it on hold at the moment. Got more pressing financial needs to take care of, unfortunately at the moment :(, but yeah, I really want that Prince of Persia CE :D :p

[goomba478]

NolbertoS, I won't name any names but they were Canadian CAGs so we'll just leave it at that. None of the regulars, but moreso one-time buyers who probably thought my service sounded interesting/useful and then backed out. I ended up with a few Xbox games, controllers, Wii games, etc. and they never paid me. It was originally my preference to buy them immediately, invoice them and then mail them out, but for safety and financial reasons now I require payment before I put in an order under all but the most extreme circumstances. I know you guys understand :)

No problem about nixing the order for now. At least you told me before I went out and purchased it ^_^ Greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.

Seems like there's no need. Atlus employees are confirming that EB and Amazon.ca will be handing out the books in Canada. So I'm gonna try my luck with Amazon. Thanks though :)

Hehe remember the Rewards program won't be unveiled until October (gotta work on the programming side of things) but I assure you I'll figure out everyone's points =)

As for the Amazon/EB Games/etc. orders that's great if they're available to you guys :) Just keep me in mind in case any of them aren't available in Canada. Thanks!

Hehe remember the Rewards program won't be unveiled until October (gotta work on the programming side of things) but I assure you I'll figure out everyone's points =)


Hahaha, I know :) Its not going to stop me from ordering, even if there was no rewards. You are a great guy and offer a superb service.
It's hard to say no :D
I'm pretty sure I broke the $400-500 mark now...hahaha.

[Azumangaman]

OMG...Goomba can you grab me Nightmare Before Chirstmas if you still can at that price? All the Blu-Rays here are 36 for Nightmare....

[goomba478]

Haha well remember the points are going to be based on the service fees and not the actual product prices, because if I did based on the products then I'd go broke in no time :)

Good news for you Azumangaman: Your Vikings jersey has arrived! I'll be shipping it out tomorrow to you.

[goomba478]

Sure I can do that for you Azumangaman. Let me send you an invoice. If you want, I can wait two days for the Blu Ray to come and ship that with your jersey or I can ship them seperately. Your choice. Let me go send you an invoice =)

[Azumangaman]

Can you ship the Blu-Ray with Guitar Hero?
I don't really mind when those come..
The jersey on the other hand...gimmie gimmie gimmie :D
Everything look right with it and did it come with the calendar thingy?

[goomba478]

Which Guitar Hero did you want to buy? I don't remember you saying that you wanted Guitar Hero :) Maybe I missed one of your messages. Fill me in! Also, that's fine. I'll send your Jersey out first thing tomorrow morning ^_^ Thanks!

Yes the jersey looks perfect from what I can tell. Looks really nice too. It came with a magnetic 2008 season schedule thing, yes. You're going to love it I know it.

[Azumangaman]

Hooray.
Guitar Hero DS? I'm pretty sure you said something about an invoice...

azumangaman, you got it. I actually went ahead and ordered an extra one just in case one of you did want one :) Glad I found someone who wanted it. The price is just too good to pass down, I agree. Thanks! I'll send you an invoice either tonight or tomorrow. THANKS ^_^
Expect payment tomorrow afternoon/night, I'm going to study now then I'm going to school and work tomorrow etc....
Your my hero :)

[goomba478]

Oh that's right, sorry ^_^ I thought you were talking one of the full sized Guitar Heroes. My mistake! I forgot that you wanted the Guitar Hero for the DS (that should be coming in the mail tomorrow). Let me send you a revised invoice that includes the Guitar Hero. Sorry about that my friend. Be right back.

[Azumangaman]

Sure thing.
Have a great night everybody :)

I thought we agreed that the payment will be made when you actually know the shipping cost for the set. It's very shocking that you did not made the preorder. I was replying to your comment on non-paying buyers and you could have just said I am one of them if you meant that way.

It was Disgaea 3 we finalized already, but it's Disgaea + Rhasody DS bundle. Oh well, don't bother sending the invoice then. It's out of stock now.

[gamer602]

Question: If I have a US EB Games Gift card can I PM you the CODE so you can redeem the credit and apply the amout to my order?

I will also order something for amazon!

[Firestorm]

If no Canadian retailer is doing the Banjo Kazooie pre-order thing, you may have a bunch of Canadians requiring your assistance.
Edit: 1 code per household... damn.

[NolbertoS]

Chill out guys, goomba is already doing us a favour in buying stuff for Canadian CAGers and listening to our demands. No need to get bent out of shape, the guy is running a hectic schedule trying to fill our orders, as well as having a full-time job on the side. If he were any other ebayer or craigslister selling to you guys, I'm sure the game would be marked up 50% up on top of that. Cut goomba some slack and when ordering be very precise on what bundle you want to order and if it's a pre-order, tell him to pre-order it ASAP, as the deal could be gone.

[Zyzomys]

Hey Goomba, If you happen to be at a Target this weekend I heard they are clearing out the Eye of Judgement Camera/Game for the PS3 for a huge discount. Regular price is like $60 so if you find it for $30 or less I will buy it. Thanks.

[goomba478]

danthemightyone, you weren't at all one of the people I was referring to as a non-paying buyer. Actually none of the people who wrote on this board are so please don't take it the wrong way :) I meant to say that because of a few bad eggs (again NOT you guys) I haven't been buying products before receiving payments.

gamer602, yes you can send me your code and I'd be happy to apply that to your order. Not a problem. Feel free to PM me with your order details.

Firestorm, I may be able to get more codes if I pre-order in the stores. I've done that in the past for CAGs that wanted pre-order items and didn't have any problem in the past. Most stores don't share pre-order lists with each other anyhow.

NolbertoS, thanks for sticking up for me :) My life is very crazy indeed. I think some of the others just got confused about comments I made earlier. I didn't mean to point them at ANY of you guys...you're all great :) My point a week or two ago about not putting orders in before payment is simply because I can't afford to be burned and because my credit cards are all pretty maxed out and I don't want to take the risk, that's all ^_^ When I get your payment I can use that money to buy the items and therefore don't need to put on a charge card. Simple as that.

Zyzomys, great news...your PS3 armor came in today. I discarded the packaging and was able to pack both of the armors and triggers safely into a single package. It should reach you probably by the end of next week. Thanks! I'll check Target out for you and the Eye of Judgement. Would you be willing to buy it used if I found one mint and complete with camera/cards? Let me know. Gamestop is doing their buy 2 get one free sale through this Sunday.

hey goomba, headphones came, completely awesome! I noticed you mentioned the Gamestop B2G1F sale, is it possible you can keep an eye out for Star Wars: Battlefront (PS2), Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (PS2) and Star Wars: Republic Commando (Xbox) in mint condition with a manual? Tis a lot to ask, I know, but if you could that'd be awesome! Thanks!

edit: yes, I love Star Wars, but seriously, who doesn't??

[goomba478]

Again, danthemightyone, I'm really sorry for any misunderstanding or inconvenience to you. I did send out the original invoice but never received the payment so I thought perhaps you changed your mind about the order. I would never intentionally cancel or not order a product I thought you were interested in. In the future if you like I can send your invoices through the CAG PM system instead that way they get to you. Please don't hold it against me, I really didn't mean anything by my comments or anything ... they certainly weren't aimed at you my friend.

[goomba478]

game_fanatic I will look out for those games for you definitely. The Gamestop website is pretty good for tracking games down. Finding them mint with manuals is another story though :) I shall certainly look. If there are ANY games you guys are looking for the B2G1 sale post them here. I'll put the list together along with who wants what and I plan to go on a 5-6 Gamestop store spree on Sunday, so if I see a game you're looking for I"ll try to get it for you (no promises though of course as it's really random what stores have especially during sale periods). Thanks!

[kathos]

Goooombaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Thanks for putting my GoW2 Lancer order through :D (even though I put it through a good month ago). You never did reply if you got the payment though, did you?

[Zyzomys]

Hello Goomba,
The Target sale has the EoJ game with camera cheaper than the camera alone. I want the camera for the upcoming LBP to scan in new textures (stickers). If you find the EoJ at Target it will be 75% off today and possibly tomorrow.
Thanks,
Chris

[goomba478]

kathos, yes I did receive the payment thanks :) I will let you know when that comes in. Still a good time away but it will be here before you know it.

Zyzomys, my Target typically sells out of these things really quickly but I have gotten lucky a few times in the past. I'll check it out and let you know. If you don't hear anything from me then you can safely assume I wasn't able to pick it up. I hear you about the LBP....I want that game more than anything coming out.

[goomba478]

Hey guys, I've started to make a list of items that are sold/ordered/potential orders and am wondering if I got them all. This way I can keep track of all the orders in their various states and hopefully process them without any delays. As you know, some items get delayed in shipping, some games get pushed back, some companies cancel orders, etc. There is no guarantee an order will be sent to me immediately after I place it online, though usually things go very smoothly. To protect your screen names I have starred out all except the first letter of your username. Please let me know if your order does not show here. It's not that I forgot about you, I just probably forgot to add it to this list as it's something new I'm trying.

Hey Goomba, did you get my PM? Sent it about 30 minutes ago I think.

[goomba478]

I didn't get any PM's from you IceTron. I just checked my inbox and my PM box and nothing. Did you forget to send it perhaps? Feel free to resend =)

[Icetron]

Weird, I'll send it again. Thanks. :D

hi Goomba, if you find one, can you tell me how much will it cost (shipping and all)

[goomba478]

First of all I doubt I'll find it, but secondly I'd have to have it here to actually figure out the shipping weight. My guess is it'd be about $10 to ship or so since it has the camera, cards and all. I'll let you know if I'm able to find one.

[goomba478]

Hey guys, anyone interested in this:

Wall-E (Three-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] + Digital Copy (2008)

It's coming out on November 18th (still a while a way I realize) but if you order it now I can get you a set price of $31 shipped (Amazon.com is selling it on sale). The normal price for this item is $41 USD so this is essentially 25%+ off. I already am ordering two of these (one for me and one for Azumangaman). If anyone else wants one, let me know.

This is the SPECIAL 3 DISC BLU RAY Version which is basically a collector's edition. Get it for the price of the 2 Disc Blu Ray set. Don't miss out if you're a fan of Pixar or Animation in General ^_^

[goomba478]

Okay guys, this is your chance to get the Ar Tonelico Sacred Army Set. I don't want you guys disappointed when you can't get it later (because some of the items are limited to only the first 2000 orders). So here's your shot. Altogether it will be $60.50 USD through my service (includes shipping from Rosenqueen, shipping to Canada and all fees/taxes/etc.).

http://www.rosenqueen.com/ProductImages/games/at2/AT2_final.jpg

Here is what it includes:
Item Includes
1. Ar tonelico™ 2 Bundle Pack

Includes :


Ar tonelico™ 2: Melody of Metafalica
Ar tonelico™ 2: Official Art Collection
Ar tonelico™ 2: Original Soundtrack (This product will be purchasable at any retailer)

2. Ar tonelico™ 2 RQ Exclusive Soundtrack

Includes :


31 songs that aren't included in the Original Soundtrack
12 pages of full color art booklet that aren't in Official Art Collection
(Limited to 2,000 Units)

[goomba478]

Just so you guys know, almost all orders have been shipped out :) I will post an updated master list for you soon so you can see where your order stands ^_^ Obviously games or items that aren't released yet haven't been shipped =P Thanks!

[goomba478]

Not sure if any of you guys are interested in Gamecube games or not, but I've listed over 100 of them on my blog in Photograph form. I'm giving you guys the chance to make offers before I list them on eBay and sell them once and for all. I've been saving them over a year now getting ready to sell and I've always just been so busy that I haven't gotten around to it. The blog is here. Thanks!

There's a lot of good games there, I don't think you'll run into problems selling those.

But as an alternative, you can offer them as prizes for the points program you've been working on.

[goomba478]

I am actually considering to offer them as prizes in the upcoming store (the ones I don't sell anyway). Kathos, Skies of Arcadia is still available (I have a few copies actually). Feel free to make an offer ^_^ Ordering your shirts now! I'll try the coupon code...

Oh thank God you got my coupon code PM before you actually ordered!!! Hahahahahahahaha *faint*.

[AJD23]

OMG...Ikaruga *jealous*:hot:
You can def. make some easy bucks eBaying some of those GC games.

EDIT: BTW goomba, how much did those PS3 triggers/armor cost shipped when you took it out of the package? I might be interested :)

[goomba478]

Kathos, I ordered them both in XL for you. The coupon code worked beautifully and shipping was free, but I did have to pay 6% tax for the items...so it worked out pretty good. I'm going to send you an invoice now. Pay whenever you can. The item will arrive by 10/15/08 they said. Thanks!

[goomba478]

Any of you interested in Lego Batman for the Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360? I can do $40 shipped BRAND NEW. I can do $26 for PC, PS2, DS, PSP versions. Let me know. Thanks!

[goomba478]

AJD23, the PS3 controller armor shipped was $16 USD. Let me know if you want one :) THANKS!

[gamer602]

are u only selling the cube games in bundles?

[goomba478]

No actually I'm just busy and don't have the time to photograph them each individually (I can upon request photograph individual games). I'm selling them all individually :) I'm just giving CAGs an option to buy them before I throw them on eBay for some quick cash. Let me know which ones you're interested in. Thanks! I'm off to bed now :) Lots of game shipping to do tomorrow!

[intruder_xo]

@Goomba

I was wondering if you can get thing from Sam's Club, since I see some deals on a few games like GTA IV for PS3 below $40.

And btw thanks for providing this service for the gaming communauty, this is really great for us Canadian up north that cant alway take advantage of some of those deals.

[deluga]

Just a question, how much are 20 gig 360 hard drives (used and/or new) in the states?

[goomba478]

According to Gamestop.com they are $60 used. They may be able to be found cheaper on eBay and such. I'll have to look around for you.

[Azumangaman]

goomba I hate you SO MUCH.
But 40 shipped for Lego Batman? fuck you, I can't say no.
Put me down for one.
This is the last time, I promise :)
Actually, I just got hired at Best Buy, so cheers to many more to come.
Oh yeah, 360 version!

EDIT: I'm kidding, I love you. And the Jersey of the brilliant man (ie my avatar) arrived today. AMAZING you got it into such a small box.

[goomba478]

Haha yeah I thought you'd be impressed with fitting the jersey into that small box. I just didn't have the heart to ship it in the cheap little thin plastic sleeve they mailed it in. Glad it got it to you safely. Oh and if you say F you again to me then you my friend are off my friends list ^_^

I'll put you down for one of the Lego Batmans. I'll send an invoice in the next day or two. Thanks!

[deluga]

wow, they are 40$ used up here, to bad I can't find any :cry:

[goomba478]

I found an eBay seller selling them for $40 USD with free shipping. Do you want me to order one for you deluga? If so let me know and PM me with your shipping information, your name/address, phone number and Email address and I'll send you an invoice. Thanks!

[AJD23]

Hey Goomba, if you wouldn't mind, could you check how much this Transformers Blu-Ray (http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Two-Disc-Special-Blu-ray-LaBeouf/dp/B000NTPDT6/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1222976967&sr=8-2) would run me from amazon.com? :)

[goomba478]

Easy way for you guys to calculate single DVD/Blu Ray sales from most sites is to add $5 ($3 for shipping, $2 for my service charge). That's the fastest way :) Box sets are a little more to ship as are some special editions and such obviously.

As for Transformers Blu-Ray = $25 Shipped. Thanks!

PM'd I'll take it.

[goomba478]

intruder_xo (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/member.php?u=80278), to answer your question...I do have a Sam's Club not too far from here (20 minutes maybe) but I'm not a card member. I am a member of BJ's and they tend to have somewhat similar sales. If there is something from Sam's Club let me know, I may be able to get it similarly priced elsewhere :) Thanks!

[Zyzomys]

Hello Goomba,

I received my order today. The triggers are perfect and the armour is exactly what I expected, useless.

Thank you,

Chris

[goomba478]

Haha I couldn't agree more Zyzomys. Armor is useless and the triggers look pretty cool :) I may end up ordering some for myself. Thanks for the positive feedback as well :) Appreciate it! Hope to do business with you soon.

[Rex]

Hey! Just wondering if you got my payment for the triggers?

[goomba478]

Any of you guys interested in video editing? Amazon has (for the next half hour) the Corel Video Studio 11.5 software package for only $30. I can ship it to you for $36 shipped (retail value is $130). I've used Video Studio in the past and it's a great way to edit videos, convert videos from one type to another, output HD videos and such. Let me know if you want one guys it's limited to only one per customer so first come, first served.

[goomba478]

Yes Rex :) I shipped out your triggers on 10/02/2008. Your Customs Number is: LC746993205US. You should get them probably by Wednesday/Thursday. I included the armor as well though I doubt you'll have much use for it. Enjoy!

[killmak]

Hey goomba, ive been reading through all of the posts on here and I have to say that you rock. Anyways I was wondering if you still have any xbl 12+1 cards available.

[goomba478]

Hey there killmak. Thanks for the compliment :) I try to rock as much as possible. As for the 13 month XBL cards, yes I have one and only one left at the moment. I am debating to order more. They are $43 USD. If you want one, just send the $43 USD to jjparks@improcomics.org using non credit/debit card funds. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them. Thanks!

[Icetron]

Hey goomba, did you get my payment? Just want to make sure. :) Thanks!

[goomba478]

Icetron, yes I received your payment :) Thanks! I should have your items out either tomorrow or the next day. I'm working at my University job all morning so I'll try my best to get it out in the next 24 hours. THANKS! Nice doing business with you ^_^ Hope you enjoy the games!

[Firestorm]

$43 in USD seems to work out to $48 Canadian in PayPal for some reason o.o;

[goomba478]

Actually that's pretty accurate. According to Google:
43 U.S. dollars = 47.2655765 Canadian dollars

At the moment the US economy is going down the drain though so I'm not so sure it will stay that way. In all honesty I want my US dollars to go up in value, though I've noticed that when it's down I get a lot more Canadian business =P Can't have it both ways I guess ^_^;;;

Firestorm, no orders lately? =) Surely there's something you've been meaning to get...

[Firestorm]

Nope. I'm trying to save my money! I have a ton of games I haven't beat >.>;

[Icetron]

Icetron, yes I received your payment :) Thanks! I should have your items out either tomorrow or the next day. I'm working at my University job all morning so I'll try my best to get it out in the next 24 hours. THANKS! Nice doing business with you ^_^ Hope you enjoy the games!

I may just not have typed into the master list here. Thanks!

As an after thought, looking at the list of what others are ordering may jog your memory about some items you've been considering :) If you see any items that may interest you, by all means ask me and maybe I can get one for you as well. THANKS GUYS ^_^

[killmak]

I just sent the payment :)

[mberkes]

Hey goomba, I was wondering if you would be able to get the Ar Tonelico 2 pre-order from RQ for me. What would the total cost be?
Also, are there any deals on Shadow Hearts in the States? I think GQD had a re-print before, but not sure if it's still kicking around anywhere. Thanks, let me know!

I believe the price he quoted before was $60.50, as posted here. (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4913095&postcount=854)

Wow JJ I never expected GFC to become so successful. Congrats, great work, and thank you for all your hard work. I'm sure you don't get enough kudos for what you are doing.

Do you have any cheap games lying around that people ordered but never payed for or canceled after you ordered it for them? I have a bout $33 burning a hole in my paypal account.

[Azumangaman]

All the stuff with my name has arrived :)
Thanks!
Any news on Lego Batman?

Ahh okay, thanks. Not sure if I want that then, I'll have to think about it.

I saw in the Target thread that FFCC:ROF (that's a long one) and FFTA2 for DS were on clearance for hella cheap. If you could find copies of those I would definately take them!

[muzras]

Fellow Canadian CAGarooz you might want to pay now for da Goombaz stuffz cuz teh spreadz may get worse

USD/CAD Currency spread moving crazy. as others Currency pairs too / US economy ( and world :cry:) going to shit. lol Yen got stronger vs all. Stock markets taking a beating. GG retirement and pensions.

volatile as Fuck

NOW:
$1.00 USD to 1.16 CAD ZOMG!
(CAD tied heavily to oil, oil prices go down your currency takes a hit.)

just a week ago

$1.00 to 1.02-1.03 CAD

teh *sighz*

[magiic]

As long as the CAD holds against the NZD I'll be moderately happy.

[ragnar14]

Gah, the dollar in the eighties seems pretty bad, but I was actively buying stuff when our dollar dropped down near the fifties quite some time ago ;_; Now that was bad...

[muzras]

sick ish mang

hit $1.00 USD to 1.20 CAD earlier

1.19 CAD currently. 300+ PIP-az :cold:

[goomba478]

Okay, there were a lot of comments since I last checked (I had to work a double shift yesterday between my two jobs so I wasn't able to check until now). Here are my responses ^_^

killmak - Thanks for the payment. I see you got your card and everything's working, so that's great. I appreciate the positive feedback as well.

mberkes - Ar Tonelico 2 is $60.50 shipped as another CAG pointed out. As for Shadow Hearts, I do have a personal copy but do not know the current selling prices for this game. I can look into that for you.

Jest - Yes, I'm really happy with the direction that GFC is taking. I just really hope the financial situations in both the US and Canada don't negatively affect business. We shall see :) I have a ton of cheap games lying around. Any in particular you're looking for?

Azumangaman - I should have the Lego Batman game today. I'll let you know.

mberkes - No problem if you don't want AT2...it's just that Rosenqueen charges a lot for the shipping, and the shipping to Canada for multiple items adds up fast as well. As for the other games at Target, I didn't see them at my store but what prices were you looking to pay for them? I may be able to find them elsewhere if I look around a bit.

muzras - the Currency exchange is definitely something to think about. It sucks that both the US $ and CAD $ are dropping so rapidly. Hopefully things will shape up soon enough.

magiic - Have you made it to New Zealand yet? Let me know :) If you have your new address, send it my way. Thanks!

That's it for now. Back to shipping games I go :)

[PuppetYuber]

Any discount on Wii games I am looking to pick up a few actually

Wario Land: Shake It!
De Blob
Mario Strikers Charged
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Okami
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon

[goomba478]

Okami Wii still seems to be selling $40-$50 at most places. There is a B2G1 sale this week at Toys R Us though. so in theory I could get three Wii Games for $100 (B2 at $50 and get the third free) which means they'd be like $33 each... something to think about. After shipping/fees whatever it'd be about $38 + tax. Still around the $40 mark though.

I could get you a used copy however for $38 shipped. Let me know, it seems unlikely the game will drop in price anytime soon.

[PuppetYuber]

Ya we don't have that deal here in Canada :(

I been trying to get the games listed above for about $20-$25, since they have been out for a while

[goomba478]

Oh and I just realized that Okami is $40 NEW so with the Toys R Us sale if I'm able to order it, I may very well be able to get 3 Okami's for $80 + Tax meaning that'd be like $31 or $32 shipped to Canada. That's not a bad price at all, though not sure if it's as low as you're looking for. Something to think about anyway.

[PuppetYuber]

31 CDN including shipping? I will be up for that for sure!

[goomba478]

PuppetYuber, All my prices are in USD .... also, I can't guarantee they will have Okami in stock or not, but if they do I'll definitely keep you in mind. Thanks!

[PuppetYuber]

Alright thanks, keep me informed with Wii deals :D

[kathos]

Goomba did you get my payment? And I was supposed to send the payment in US funds right?

[Rex]

Hey goomba!

The PS3 triggers came in. These things are in fact amazing. I recommend them to any PS3 user who prefers the R2/L2 buttons as opposed to the R1/L1.

[Firestorm]

Sent a request using your form for this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000OOOISM/ref=nosim/cheapassgam08-20

Damn dollar being so low though :(

[goomba478]

Kathos, yes I did thank you. I just got your package in as well but unfortunately they weigh almost 6 pounds (heavy shirts...Marc Ecko must use nice materials) so the shipping is higher than originally expected. I'll find out the actual shipping costs and send you an updated invoice. It's only going to be a few dollars I expect. I'll find the cheapest way to ship it for you :)

Firestorm, I've got your request and sent you a PM. Not sure if you know that Beach Audio charges $7.50 for shipping to US... get back to me. Thanks! And I know ... all the money in the world is crappy at the moment. Kind of depressing.

[goomba478]

Oh and Rex, glad to hear you like the triggers ^_^ I've been getting more orders for them lately so I think it's safe to say people like them. If anyone else wants them, they are $16 shipped in total. Thanks!

[maigoyume]

Man am I ever glad I swapped over $1500 back when our dollar was stronger than the US.

Too bad I'm probably going to burn it all when I head to Vegas :hot:

Edit: Wait, on the right hand side there's a button for "More Buying Options" and it lists Amazon.com for $19.99, can you do that?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000OOOISM/ref=dp_olp_1

[goomba478]

No Problem Firestorm. It's back in stock now :) Must have gone out of stock temporarily before. I'll go and order that for you and send you an invoice ^_^ Thanks!

Anyone else interested in that game? It's pretty hard to find actually. $25 USD Shipped.

Still cheaper than anywhere here. Only new copy I've found is $40 or $50 at Rogers Video. Haven't even seen a used copy.

[goomba478]

Glad to help. Sorry that the Canadian Dollar is less than wonderful this week, but like you said this game sells for a lot more at most places. I should get it in Tuesday or Wednesday and have it out to you right away. Thanks!

The price of gas is supposed to drop even more, which means our dollar is going to suffer further.

If I had a choice between cheap gass or cheap-ass deals from the States, I'll take the latter any day.

Goomba I was wondering if you could pick one of those $30 Amazon.com Xbox Live bundles for me? Let me know. Thanks.

[PuppetYuber]

did you pick up anything good in Toys R Us? :D

[goomba478]

I haven't bought anything yet at Toys R Us yet because I haven't officially received any orders yet. The problem is that all my credit cards are pretty much maxed out so I need to have confirmed orders/payments before I can just buy stuff. I'm in trouble for buying too many items I thought would sell but instead just gather dust on my shelves waiting to be sold. If you know of three games you want for sure (I know you wanted Okami...which by the way is available on the TRU website for B2G1) then let me know :) Thanks!

[goomba478]

If any of you guys want the B2G1 sale from Toys R Us, I'd prefer if you buy 3 games at a time ... that way I can calculate your actual cost. Keep in mind they do charge shipping and 6% tax in my home state.

Example of a sale:
$40 + $40 + $40 Games = $80 after B2G1 + $6 shipping to US + 6% = $91.16
Shipping to Canada = $6 + $Service Charge ($4) = $10
Grand Total: $101.16 USD

That's for $40 games though. Obviously if you buy more expensive games ($50-$60) then you'll save more. Let me know :)

[killmak]

I think you meant 101.16, 91.16+4+6=101.16

[goomba478]

Yes, thank you Killmak :) Added it correctly on my calculator and then typed it in wrong. I've corrected the original post now ^_^ Appreciate that!

[Jest]

Have any PS2, PS3, Cube, Wii, or PC games collecting dust? I'm not really interested in anything particular.

[goomba478]

Yes games for all system (except PC). I don't really have the time (yet) to list every game but I will be doing so soon through my blogs in a similar fashion as I did my Gamecube games. Not sure if you saw that post or not. I took photos of all the Gamecube games I had in storage. I will be doing the same for other systems. Thanks Jest!

[Azumangaman]

So did you get Lego Batman on Friday? Just wondering whats up.

Also interested to know of any 360, Wii and DS games you might have lying around.

Azumangaman, I'm going to PM you in a minute ^_^

Maigoyume & Winnopeg, just give me a couple weeks and I should have all my items up (or at least photographed). What I'm doing now is clearing out my back stock system by system in order of oldest to newest. So right now I'm listing over 130 Gamecube games one by one on eBay (and it's taking FOREVER) ... but I am making progress. I've sold about 30% of them now and doing the rest of them this week and next. Once all the Gamecube games are gone then I will start photographing and listing the new systems.

MaddogMonty, I haven't seen it yet...if I find one in a store of course I'm going to buy it though ^_^

[mberkes]

Hey goomba,

I'll let you know about tha AT2 preorder, still undecided about that. As for shadow hearts, did you find any deals? I kinda figured it'd be hard to track down, but if anything shows up I'd love to know.
As for the FF DS games, I saw in the Target clearance thread that FFCC was 9.98 and FFTA2 was 20.98. If you stumble upon any deals like that for those games then I'll take them, thanks!

[CatBoy]

Payment sent for Tales of the World PSP. Thanks goomba. :)

[goomba478]

Azumangaman, I've received your payment. Thanks! I'll have your first item out tomorrow and the other one when it comes in :) Appreciate it.

mberkes, okay definitely let me know about AT2. As for Shadow Hearts, I didn't find anywhere that had it in good quality for less than around $50, so far from cheap. I'll check Target this week, but again my Target kind of sucks and never has those sale items. Maybe it's a smaller store or something, I dunno :) I'll look anyhow.

[kathos]

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Paid For The Sweaters I Am So Excited Now.

Lo And Behold Toronto, The Stormtrooper Is Coming.

[goomba478]

Haha yup yup. They look really awesome. I didn't unpack them from their individually wrapped plastic wrappings, but the materials are really heavy and thick and the colors are really nice. You're going to love them for sure. I shipped it Priority Mail so you should receive it probably Monday or Tuesday next week. Enjoy!

[Azumangaman]

Paid for the stuff Goomba :)
Hope to see Batman soon!

Yup yup! Your LEGO Batman is here and going out tomorrow at around 10 AM ^_^ You're going to love the game by the way. It's awesome stuff. Thanks!

Gaaaaah goomba I know it's only been a few days but I'm so excited for my clothes (you see I wear potato bags to school and work), is there a tracking number I can grab onto so I can keep checking on my phone and such?

[goomba478]

Kathos, I shipped it Priority Mail so there technically is a tracking number but it isn't for normal folks like you and me, it's more for the post office. It is a customs/tracking number that really is delivery confirmation rather than pure tracking. In case you want it though it's: CJ299518037US

Icetron, I am glad you got your games :) I responded to your PM but in truth it may be cheaper just ordering directly from that eBay seller in the long run. Let me know.

[Sejad]

Hey Gooomba do you know any good stores near you that sell cheap Under Armour clothing? I am lookig to buy some gym stuff.

I know of places that sell Under Armor, but not sure what you consider to be cheap Sejad. Feel free to browse the web to look places in the US that sell it. I know Dick's Sporting Goods does, but again not sure what type of gym stuff you're looking for or for what price. Let me know if you find something, I'd be happy to get it for you. Thanks!

[miwi]

Hello!
Actually, I'm not from Canada - I'm from Brazil.
Could you send something here?
To be more specific, this game: http://www.amazon.com/Fallout-3-Collectors-Pc/dp/B0016BVYDY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_5?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1224376569&sr=8-5
How much would you charge? Do you insurance your packages?

Thanks in advance,
miwi 8D

[goomba478]

Hi there Miwi, I have shipped to Brazil in the past but unfortunately two of those times the buyers claimed they never received their items (not my GamesForCanada service, but on eBay rather). I'm not sure if they were just being dishonest and wanted to get the items for free + full refund, or if they were telling the truth and Brazil just has a bad mail system...I've heard that both cases tend to be true but with emphasis on the bad mail system. For that reason I tend to limit my shipping to Brazil because I've been burned too many times.

In fact, even the United States Postal Service has Brazil on the "un-insurable" list meaning that I couldn't even buy insurance for it if I wanted to. With that in mind, I will ship to Brazil but only if you're able to take the risk that it may get lost in the mail system down there. I have no control over it and cannot offer a refund if it is lost. Buy at your own risk. I would extend the same discount to you though of actual price + shipping + $2 service fee for the first item and $1 for each additional (USD). Thanks and good luck!

[miwi]

I feel even more miserable about living in this country right now... ._."
Yes, 2 of about... 15 to 20 packages I've ordered got lost. It's not a high amount, but it has happened. The big problem is... that Fallout game will be released near Xmas... and a LOT of packages get lost during that time...

If only you could buy insurance... =/

But thanks for your kind response!

[goomba478]

Anyone interested in the following:

Dark Sector (Xbox 360), Brand New = $18 USD Shipped
Dark Sector (PS3), Brand New = $18 USD Shipped
Haze (PS3), Used/Near Mint = $16 USD Shipped

Let me know. Thanks!

[goomba478]

miwi, I may be able to ship with UPS or some other service that offers worldwide shipping but you'll likely have to pay more for both shipping and insurance. If you'd like me to look into this option I will do it for you. Sorry to hear about Brazil's shipping services though. Hopefully they improve in the future!

Oh and one more thing guys...if any of you would like to try and help me out, I am looking to buy the Korg DS-10 "game" that is coming out on November 4th. It seems that EB Games in Canada is going to be selling it, but word on the street is that Gamestop in the US will not be. It's going to be like $40 or so. I'd love to get a copy. I'd be glad to pay you for the item, shipping and a little extra for your services as I charge. Please let me know if any of you can help me out. Thanks ^_^

PS: This may not be necessary if Amazon.com or other sites are selling it. It just occurred to me that they more than likely will be...but just in case :)

Hey goomba, if it's possible, I think I'll just stick with Haze...Dark Sector is $19.99 at TrU and it's probably better for me if I got it from there eventually. If you've already done the paperwork and whatnot I'll still take it, but if not, just Haze for me! Thanks :)

Just so you guys know, I'm currently working in the World Poker Tour which is why you might not have seen me as much this week on CAG/MSN/etc. I'll be all done with the Poker tournament on November 11th and will be doing a lot more site updates and things ^_^ In the meantime feel free to place orders, I'm still working a lot behind the scenes. Thanks! Hope all is well with you guys :) I'll be posting another order update soon in the next few days to track where you are in stages of item orders. Thanks again =)

Just so you guys know, I'm currently working in the World Poker Tour...

Would we get to see you deal on TV, at the final table? ;)
Anyways, good luck. I hope to see something I like soon and put a order through. I just wish the CAD was a little bit higher.

[kathos]

Goomba thanks for the sweaters! They look fantastic! I'm the envy of all nerds now!

[goomba478]

Actually AJD23, it's not impossible. I am dealing in the very same tournament that will be on TV. They select the dealers somewhat randomly but I have enough experience that I could be on TV. Though I'm not sure I really want to be :) I wouldn't turn down the chance but they tend to show the players a lot more anyway than the dealers. You just see the dealers for a few seconds here and there. It'd be interesting though that's for sure. I've dealt to a lot of the big players though...most of them are alright, some are downright nasty, but what did you expect? ^_^

kathos, I'm so happy that you got the sweaters already! Like I said...they look really, really nice. Very well made. I envy them myself :)

[magiic]

I may have to actually watch televised poker if you're dealing lol

[goomba478]

Like I said, I really doubt I'd be on TV (we have around 500 or so dealers, perhaps more and I am by no means the most qualified) ^_^ so don't get your hopes up. Maybe some day, but I'm not going to get extra pay for it in any case :)

That being said, today is my one day off in the next 9 or so, so I am relaxing watching TV shows on Netflix while working on the new GamesForCanada.com. I'm trying to roll all my services into one streamlined site that is easy to navigate and useful to the users. I should have it up in the next few weeks for you guys to check out and give me feedback on. Until then I will be slaving away at the casino :) Thanks as always!

[goomba478]

Also, any of you guys interested in the Wal-Mart exclusive Dragon Xbox 360 controller? I don't know if you care or not but it's kind of cool looking. Not sure it's worth the money or not to you but here it is if you haven't seen it before:

Hey Goomba I saw on the board Fallout 3 Hardcover Collectors Edition Strategy Guide $21, now do you have a Prime account by any chance? I can get the book for $33 US to Canada can you get it to me any cheaper?

here's the link it's oly $20!!!

Fallout 3 Collector's Edition Guide (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/go.php?http://www.amazon.com/Fallout-Collectors-Prima-Official-Guide/dp/0761559973/ref=nosim/cheapassgam08-20)

When is Black Friday? Despite exchange rate being so crap, maybe there's still decent deal on Black Friday?

[goomba478]

Black Friday is always the Friday the day after Thanksgiving (usually last week of November). Keep in mind I usually have to work late on Thanksgiving so I'm not going to be lining up in any brick-and-mortar stores but I may be able to score you some online deals (there's usually a lot). With the economy being as bad as it is here in the US as well, I am expecting some good deals this year. It always comes when I can't afford as much as I'd like to pick up though :)

[Sejad]

Uhhhh you just sent me a invoice and it's like $38 dollars? what gives I can get that cheaper through Amazon myself?

[goomba478]

Well that was an estimate. According to Amazon though the item weighs about 3 pounds. When I originally estimated $27 that was assuming it would be one pound or less (the website didn't have a weight listed until recently). If you can get it cheaper yourself through Amazon.com by all means do it :) No pressure! I wasn't ripping you off though, if the item weighs that much that's how much it'd cost to send. Thanks though!

[Jest]

Love the service and your a great guy Goomba. I wish the dollar wasn't doing so horrible or I'd be getting a lot of other stuff from you. Keep up the great work mate. Looking forward to seeing what GFC turns out to be.

Thank you Jest. I assure you the service will only get better and better with time. Once I finally get rid of my backstock of games, pay down some of my debt and have more time to develop and code the site, you'll start seeing some great progress.

I may ask you guys for more hands-on advice on what you'd like to see with the site as well in the future. Should be launching the newly designed site in the next couple of weeks. Thanks ^_^ Hope you guys had a happy Halloween (if you guys celebrate that...not sure you do).

Of course we celebrate Halloween! :D
Any Trick or Treats *cough* games *cough* you wanna give your fellow Canadian CAGs for free? ;)
JUST KIDDING!

[goomba478]

Haha I figured you guys did :) That's cool. I ate my fair share of goodies today and filled up on Non-Alcoholic Apple Cider myself.

As for the games, not yet but I'll be setting up that rewards section on my site soon as promised so there'll be plenty of goodies to go around =) Till then. Ta Ta!

Quick Question For You Guys:

If you buy from eBay do you typically buy from eBay.com or eBay.ca ? Just curious. It seems eBay.com has more selection in general but not sure if you had one favorite over the other. Let me know :) Thanks!

I always buy and sell through eBay.ca... I'm pretty sure there's more listings on eBay.com because it gives you all the results that will ship to the US (pretty much everybody I'm sure) while eBay.ca shows you only results that will ship to Canada.

I use .ca over .com for the reason Winnopeg mentioned. I normally only use the Buy It Now feature.

[ragnar14]

I use .ca like everyone else, although I've saved a few .com searches since you started your service ;)

[goomba478]

Okay that's good to know :) I will probably just list ebay.ca listings then on the new GamesForCanada.com revision I'm working on. The idea is that the items I sell may in fact be cheaper through other sites and so I'll list side by side prices for all my items to ensure you guys really are getting the best deal. Thanks for the input!

Good news for GamesForCanada. The Canadian dollar is slowly recovering. Up six cents last week.

[goomba478]

That is great news. I hope somehow we can have both the price of gas stay down and the CAD go up. That'd be a perfect situation :) Magiic, let me know when the DVD set gets to you ^_^ Hopefully it'll be there before long. Thanks again!

Goomba, do you still have Xbox Live codes available for sale?

[goomba478]

Amankhan, I'm sold out of the 13 month codes but I do have one 12 month code if you're interested. Let me know. If you want a 13 month code I can get you one but it'll take roughly a week or so. Either way get back to me :) Thanks!

What's the price on the 12 month code?

[goomba478]

$42 USD for the 12 month code ($40 USD if you pay with non-credit/debit card funds). Let me know if you're interested ^_^
