goomba478
11-28-2008, 02:19 PM
Wilme, yes Eternal Sonata is included in the sale. So it'd be: $60 - $25 = $35 x 1.06 (Tax in my State) = $37.00 = $5 (Shipping/Handling) = $42 USD shipped to you.
kgroat I'll get you one ^_^ Send you an invoice later.

Oh, just caught that you mentioned that the TRU 25 off 50 was one time use only.
No way Wilme and I can get Sonata then?

Glad to see some Rune Factory 2 fans. I wanted the plushie myself but missed out. At 50% off it's a great deal. The squirrel shouldn't weigh that much for shipping to Canada either.
Update: Sorry ... it seems the Toys R Us promo is dead now. It shows as available but when I go to check it out says the deal is no longer available. Looks like we just missed it...doh!

Here's another deal that may catch one of your fancies: 16GB iPod Touch (1st Gen) for $199 plus shipping. These regularly sell for $250 or more so it's a bit of a deal. Let me know :) Today only.

PS: I think they are trying to clear stock since the newer generation ones are on the way. You probably knew that though :)

danthemightyone: You are paid in full ^_^ Ignore any statements saying otherwise. I'm sending you your invoice to show that you are paid in full (updated version). I applied your $20 credit from the past cancelled order. I'll send you the detailed invoice now ^_^ I'm sending invoices for all of you so don't worry. Going through the paperwork one by one. Lots to calculate :)
danthemightyone
11-28-2008, 04:10 PM
No worries. Very likely there will be something else I would want soon. So I don't really care about the balance much as long as we keep track of it.
Are artbook and soundtrack in Persona 3 FES different ones from the Persona 3 LE ones? I've never heard any extra stuff or bundle of FES.
goomba478
11-28-2008, 04:17 PM
Dan, you're actually all paid up (just sent updated invoice). I didn't realize that you had paid with Non-Credit card funds so that item was still on the invoice. I took it off and you have a Zero Balance :)
The Bonus artbook + CD are the ones that came with the original Persona 3 supposedly. Either Amazon has more in stock or Atlus is providing them, but in any case that's pretty awesome. I'm going to get one since I felt bad about not owning them originally. So I'll have the updated version of the game (FES) along with the artbook and cd. Doesn't get better than that in my eyes :)
danthemightyone
11-28-2008, 04:23 PM
I already have Persona 3 LE x2 (one sealed) and Persona 3 FES so I was wondering if I am missing any. amazon.com picture however shows a boxset for FES. Very confusing...
Did I order a MGS Portable Ops Plus? I don't see it in the invoice. If not, don't bother. Not a biggy.
Regarding the shipping for so many stuff, I'll entitle you to mix and match for cheapest shipping cost. Only thing we need to be careful about is the crazy holiday shipping season fiasco, on top of Canada Post workers strike.
goomba478
11-28-2008, 04:29 PM
Whoa that's cool that you have two Persona 3 LE's (and a sealed one!) so you sir are a better man than I ^_^ In that case you probably have all the items that Amazon is offering then. Good deal for people like me who are a little late to the show though =)
Is there a Canada Post workers strike? That could perhaps be why some packages are taking forever to get to Canada lately. Most of the time they get there FAST but lately people have been telling me that it's been taking longer than normal. Perhaps Holidays + Increased shipping + Strikes is the reason... hmmm you may be onto something there. Thanks!

I live not too far from Canada Post headquarter. That area is now almost undrivable.
Anyway, do you mind listing all the stuff I ordered from you? I remember some Atlus stuff from amazon.com earlier (which I think I paid off quickly) Just mainly for tracking purpose.
goomba478
11-28-2008, 04:44 PM
That's a shame...
The last few weeks I've had one game take almost 3 weeks to get to the buyer (eBay sale), Winnopeg's items still haven't gotten to him and it's been a month. I wonder if this is the reason. I hate strikes even though I can relate to them as my dealers just joined a union. Sometimes it's a necessary evil because a lot of those people do deserve more than they get, but it still sucks for the people affected by them. Doh!
goomba478
11-28-2008, 04:50 PM
Dan, I sent you an updated invoice. Did you not get it? That should have all your items ordered. If not here they are:
Yggdra Union (PSP) - Shipped
Spectral Force 3 (Xbox 360) - Shipped
Ar Tonelico 2 Bundle Set - Waiting for Package (future item)
Limited Edition Mario Nintendo DS - Waiting for Package (future item)
Dragon Quest IV (NDS) - Waiting to Ship

Persona 3 FES with Soundtrack CD and Artbook (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001G0MG8W/ref=nosim/cheapassgam08-20)
That's about $30, I'm sending you $40 with a credit card now. Also I might add to my order, sooo many deals :cry: RE4 for the Wii is only $10 on Amazon. But I haven't picked up a Wii yet...
goomba478
11-28-2008, 10:16 PM
Kathos yes I believe the iPod sale ends at midnight today. If you want one send $220 USD to my Paypal (add 6% with credit card as usual). If I get your payment in the next 2 hours I will order. I am at work now thanks.
Puppetyuber, the Okami and MGS games were only one hour deals and ended already. If you want Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem together it should be $75 USD or so shipped. Let me know if you are interested.

Okay guys I'm done for now. I maxed out all my credit cards/Paypal/Bank Cards so it's safe to say that I did pretty good :) Keep in mind those of you who sent me CAD I did not yet convert your money, so I can still refund it to you and have you send me USD. This way we don't have to pay outrageous Paypal conversion fees either.
Here's what I got: (Full List). I'm not breaking it down by buyer now but I will Email you individually tomorrow with invoices for the differences (either if I owe you or if you owe me as there are both situations):
6 x Infinite Undiscovery (Xbox 360) - I ordered the $20 ones with the extra gift for all
2 x Boom Blox (Wii) - There was a limit of one per customer. Ordered with two accts.
1 x Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii)
2 x Metal Slug 7 (DS) - Pre-Order (includes bonus dog-tag)
2 x Metal Gear Portal OPS Plus - Limit of one per customer again. Ordered with two accts.
3 x Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP)
1 x PS3 Component Cable
2 x Dead Space (Xbox 360) - Limit of one per customer again. Ordered with two accts.
2 x Dead Space (PS3) - Limit of one per customer again. Ordered with two accts.
1 x Condemned 2 (Xbox 360)
1 x Warhammer Online - 60 Day Card
1 x Too Human (Xbox 360)
The following items were NOT available:
Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP) from Best Buy - Sold Out Online
Assassin's Creed for $10 - Not Available Online
Dead Rising from NewEgg for $10 - Not Available Online/Sold Out?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
That should bring us up to date now. Keep in mind many of these deals are good for the whole weekend, so I'll be happy to work with you ^_^ Glad I was able to get most of the orders in for you guys :) Going to be a busy packing week for me! Gotta love it though :) I'll send you formal invoices and all that fun stuff during the day.
Thank you all times 100 ^_^
No Saints Row? Anyway, I'd be fine with a PS3 Dead Space (or two if the other one isn't wanted by anyone ;) ) even though I asked for 360; in this case either works.

GOOMBA! I placed an order for Sonic Unleashed (360) at $25.95, but I didn't realize the UNLEASH5 code still works. So please use that when ordering! It would make it $20.95 + fees!
Edit for those wondering: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_7797732_2?ie=UTF8&docId=1000208101&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_r=1244ZFFRRJAAFQY11VFJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463959131&pf_rd_i=468642
Sonic Unleashed (PS2) - $14.95
Sonic Unleashed (360) - $25.95
Sonic Unleashed (Wii) - $29.95
360 version is the best of those. But you know. It's a Sonic game. I'm just doing it because I hate the world and stuff. God. ;_; Sonic, why do you hurt me?

11-29-2008, 04:44 AM

11-29-2008, 02:04 PM
I just wanted to let you guys know this: Unfortunately, Amazon.com changed their policy about a month or so ago and will not price match anymore or refund the differences to their past sales. I'm sorry there's not too much I can do about this.
The only thing that I could do (if you really wanted me to) would be to ship the items back to Amazon (they make you pay return shipping) but in some cases it could possibly be worth it. I'm pretty sure they make you use Priority Shipping, which costs $4.80 USD but to get $10+ back it may be worth it to you. Let me know if this is the case and I'll try to contact them about how to do the returns. I've never done it with them before.
Thanks guys for understanding. I'm working on getting the rest of your invoices out. Unfortunately I've been working so much at the casino so this week has been non-stop work for me. Very stressful =P
goomba478
11-29-2008, 02:05 PM
Also, for those of you who are requesting the $20 FES set I'm not sure I'm eligible because I already ordered 6 of them at the old $30 price. They limited them to 3 per account and I used all 3 on 2 of my Amazon accounts. Again, I may be able to send them back but I have yet to receive them and it's too late to cancel the orders since they've been shipped.
Update Again: The $20 price seems to be gone anyway and it's $27.99 or so now so it's definitely not worth shipping back for the $2 (it'd cost more to ship with the art books and all). They wouldn't let me order more anyway because we already ordered them. So keep in mind I do have a few left now but they'll be the $30 price not the $20. Sorry :(

Hey Goomba, I'll take a copy of Persona 4 from amazon if you can manage it (you get free amazon shipping, right?). I know it would be cheaper if I bought off amazon.ca, but no artbook, and the stores around here can't guarantee I'd get one either. Thanks!

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mdwSLef7L._AA280_.jpg
Okami For the Wii - $26.00 Shipped: Great Game, Brand new and Factory Sealed. I ordered 9 of these (Max for my 3 accounts). 4 are already gone so there are 5 left.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51cGwqDKhQL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
Eternal Poison (PS2) - $26 USD shipped to Canada. Please note the game is brand new and includes the soundtrack but does not include the pre-order artbook. Great deal for a game that just came out only a week or two ago. I can only get 7 copies of this total just so you know.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61-SKQwajbL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
Arcana Heart (PS2) - $18 USD shipped to Canada. I can't tell you how much I enjoy this game. I own a copy myself and I'm a huge fan of 2D fighters. This one has as much heart as it does style and smooth animation. The all-female cast is really cool too. Definitely lots to enjoy with this one and for the price you can't beat it. I can get 9 copies of this total.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ARu8-IYUL._AA280_.jpg
Sega Superstar Tennis (PS2) - $10 shipped to Canada. This game is really under-rated. I actually enjoyed it a lot (especially House of the Dead Zombie Tennis). For the price it's definitely worth it, especially if you get it with another game together (which will make your total order cheaper than buying seperately as I combine shipping and deduct fees).
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51SqV1IUoxL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 (DS) - $20 USD Shipped to Canada. Great sequel to the original on the system it was designed for. Great game and even better at this price for a brand new/sealed copy. Enjoy!
----------------------------------
Payment Instructions for those who have not ordered from me in the past:
1) Send me your Full Name, Address and Email address (phone number optional) to: Canadapayments@improcomics.org or here on CAG via PM (keep in mind my PM box fills up fast though).
2) Send your payment in full to: jjparks@improcomics.org if paying with NON-CREDIT/DEBIT card funds on Paypal. This includes funds already in your account, eChecks and payments in Direct USD. I cannot accept Canadian Dollars, sorry. Payments MUST BE IN USD.
3) If you are paying with a Credit/Debit card, you can but you must add 6% to the total (due to Paypal transaction fees) and instead send the payment to: Canadapayments@improcomics.org. This is my business account that can accept credit/debit cards. The other account cannot.
4) Be sure to include your CAG name with your payment and mention which games you are ordering!
5) Once I receive your payment I will add you to my Quickbooks software and you'll get a new customer account. I will send you a copy of your invoice and will ship your items as soon as they come in. Please note I will not order the items until payment is received, due to past non-paying customers. If you have any questions please ask! Thanks again guys! Gotta love Black-Friday week =P

mberkes (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/member.php?u=140578), I can get you a Persona 4 from Amazon.com if you're interested. The art book is going to be limited (game is released in 10 days and it's only a pre-order bonus). It is a little more to buy this way than buying from Amazon.ca as you said but they're not offering the bonus. If you want one it is $35 for the game/artbook + $7 for shipping + $2 service charge = $44 USD total. See above for payment instructions. THANKS!

Azumangaman I do have an Infinite Undiscovery but it doesn't have the bonus items. I also have a Last Remnant so it's up to you. Let me know :)
Would that be an extra Last Remnant or has someone already claimed it? I might be willing to take it off your hands, assuming Azumangaman doesn't want it of course.

That is an extra Last Remnant. I only ordered 3 of them. One is claimed, one is available for Azumangaman (reserved) and if you want one Median it's yours. I can order more before midnight tonight I believe if others want them also. But I didn't want to go crazy and order a bunch and get stuck with extra copies like I've done in the past (I'm looking at you Ar Tonelico 1). Thanks!

kgroat, it sure is :) Last day of planned shopping insanity for at least a week or two ^_^ Around Christmas week and New Years there are usually some good deals too (and after New Years as well). Gotta love the busy seasons. I'll do your invoice next. Thanks!

By the way guys if you're interested in Fallout 3 Survival Edition (Xbox 360) I listed my copy on eBay. It's ending in 2 hours and is brand new/factory sealed (only up to $53 at the moment). My PS3 one is there too and is up to $90+. Feel free to bid :) I have other games/items too.

Could I get that Last Remnant then Goomba? Price is $29.99 plus fees and whatnot, correct?
goomba478
11-30-2008, 09:57 PM
Median yes it's $36 shipped to Canada for Last Remnant. I have one with your name on it if you want it. I'll send an Invoice Your Way ^_^

I had requested:
Saints Row
Boom Blox
Dead Space 360 [Which I know you said you couldn't get, but I said I'd take one of those PS3 copies instead if they weren't claimed.]
And I had put Animal Crossing w/ Wii Speak on there as a maybe, so I dunno if that's the one you ordered or not.
As an aside... What's this cyber monday I've heard mentioned a few times?
EDIT: Took a look at the CAG index and saw Amazon's cyber monday deals. I'll take a copy of Spore at $19.95 as well if you can grab one tomorrow. =) (I'll finally get to try my MacBook Pro's 9600M GT! :p)

11-30-2008, 11:25 PM
PuppetYuber, I tried sending you the money request but my software wouldn't do it without your Name/Address and all that good stuff.
Feel free to send the payment of $35 USD using non-credit/debit card funds to jjparks@improcomics.org. Or if you want to pay with a credit card send $37.10 to Canadapayments@improcomics.org. THANKS ^_^ I'll send you the detailed invoice for you after I get your payment. Appreciate it!

11-30-2008, 11:30 PM

You have sent $35.00 USD to jjparks@improcomics.org.
goomba478
12-01-2008, 12:18 AM
Thanks Puppet. I appreciate the fast payment ^_^ Just keep in mind in the future to send the money to the right place. Credit card payments sent to jjparks account get auto-denied and resent. I'll ship your items Tuesday or Wednesday as promised!

umm it is not via credit card though, it is bonded with my bank account lol
but watever, i will just have you request money from me in the future =)
goomba478
12-01-2008, 12:32 AM
Well the banks can be really picky about what is a debit/credit card transaction. Was it a debit card or a bank card of some sort? Yeah it's not a problem to send out the requests so if that works better that's cool :) eChecks and all that can be pretty complicated as well. Just wish Paypal wasn't so jerky about their fees they charge. Thanks again!

Hey Guys. I'm going to make an offer to you...I'm trying to spend $1000 this next month (by December 31st, 2008) at Best Buy in order to reach their Silver Rewards Membership level (Spend $2500 in a single calendar year). If I get it then I'll get better rewards points, free shipping on their website, 45 days to return items and other things like that. So for the next month if you order any items from Best Buy (or BestBuy.com) I will not charge you any service charge. Simply pay the item cost plus shipping, service is on me.
Keep in mind Best Buy has 6% tax in my home state and online, but I will be going up to Best Buy in New Hampshire in two weeks and there is no sales tax there. Thanks! If you see something you want and it's available on Best Buy please consider this offer ^_^

I work two jobs (60 hours+ a week), work two small businesses and have a wife with a busy schedule so it keeps me on my feet.

Hey Goomba,
If you could send me an invoice with Last Remnant, and one WITHOUT Last Remnant, that'd be terrific.
I probably won't be able to refuse, as I can get somebody to make it a Channukah gift if I don't want to spend all the money :)
goomba478
12-01-2008, 01:13 AM
Okay sounds good to me Azumangaman. I'm doing yours as we speak ^_^

Also, I'm not sure if you guys are interested in this or not, but since the mail has been slower and somewhat more unreliable to Canada lately (more delays than usual for holiday season it would seem), I can upgrade any of your orders to Priority Mail shipping. This generally ensures three things:
1) It will get to you faster since it's the 2nd fastest shipping type offered by USPS
2) It will have delivery confirmation (yes even in Canada) that shows when a package has been delivered and has cleared customs and all
3) It can be insured for up to $700 USD for cheap. $50 for instance is only $2.40 to insure, $100 is $3.30 USD and so on. Very affordable. If you're buying a lot in one order it may be worth it to you.
Keep in mind that Priority Shipping starts at $22.60 and for this price you can ship up to 5 Pounds (that's a lot of games!). So if you want to pay a little extra for faster shipping + insurance I'm all for it. Or, if you are planning to order a lot or even just a heavy item it may be worth it to you.
Last thing to keep in mind. First Class mail is cheapest but it only goes up to 4 pounds. After that (4 pounds one ounce and over) Priority Mail becomes mandatory from the USPS. Just something to consider :)
Azumangaman
12-01-2008, 01:25 AM
Hey goomba, I'll keep an eye out on Best Buy.com to see if theres anything you can grab me :)
Also, don't order anything, but could you check how much it would cost me for you to get all 6 James Bond movies on Blu-ray, shipping and cost included?
It costs me around $78 to do it through Amazon.
goomba478
12-01-2008, 01:26 AM

12-01-2008, 01:41 AM
Digitalhitokiri I can still order 3 copies of Last Remnant so yes if you order and pay in the next hour I should be able to get you one at the sale price of $30 plus shipping/fees. Please PM me your Address, Email Address and Telephone Number and I'll send you a full detailed invoice. Thanks!

Almost Cyber Monday on the West Coast. Hope you're not tired of deals yet ^_^
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51qRZ1TmsxL._AA280_.jpg
This game is INCREDIBLE. A lot more to do than the first one and certainly a lot more polished. $46 USD Shipped to Canada today only (and I have a feeling I will be limited to 3 of these total). Special Offer: If you are interested in the Collector's Edition I can include the special case/extra disc for an additional $10 as I happen to have one from my personal collection. The game disc is identical in the original and Collector's versions. If you want one of these they are first come first serve my friends :) I only have one Collector's box/extra disc by the way.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/510CQiYV2bL._AA280_.jpg
Spore may have had some DRM issues but there's no denying it's an incredibly original and fun game. For $26 USD Shipped to Canada it can be yours! This is a Cyber Monday sale so I have a feeling I will be limited to only 3 of them total. One was already bought by Winnopeg, so I'm left with only two potential copies. First come first serve!
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61nPZmlHfKL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
One of the most original games in this generation! Little Big Planet has almost everything going for it and at $46 USD shipped to Canada you can't go wrong. Again, a Cyber Monday item that is bound to sell out fast. Get your copy while you can!
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/614vhz78gYL._AA280_.jpg
Get a copy of one of CheapyD's favorites! At $49 USD shipped it may not be as tempting as some other deals but it's a great price nonetheless (especially if bundled with another game to save on shipping costs).
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51hBOA8a%2B7L._AA280_.jpg
I'm still playing the first one and haven't gotten tired of it, but I'm looking forward to playing the 2nd one eventually. Not bad at $49 USD shipped.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Uq65DtmvL._AA280_.jpg
For only $25 USD Shipped, this one is hard to beat. Regularly sells for $60+ USD here in the States. Good game, somewhat similar to Excite Truck minus motion controls. Part of Cyber Monday Sale. First come first serve!
------------------
Please note I have no guarantee I will be able to get these games. I am staying up to 3AM EST when they go live and will order them if you tell me you would like a copy of one or all or any combination. Adding them to existing orders will result in a new invoice sent to you with adjustments made. Thanks!

One More Awesome addition - This limited edition Pink Ribbon (raise money for cancer awareness) DS is going on sale for $100 USD. With shipping and all it'll be about $112 USD shipped to Canada. Still save some off MSRP and it goes towards a good cause. I'm limited to 3 of these total. If nobody orders them I am going to get some for myself.

45 packages is crazy. I feel bad for the mail ppl when I have only 6 packages coming in. Lucky for the UPS guy the canadian dollar isnt what it was a couple of months ago, you would have had twice as many orders.
Do you have any copies of last remnant left or were they only available yesterday?

Magiic, If you like I can hold onto one of the Pink Ribbon DS' for you for a little while if you like. Not a problem. I know how it is to be broke ^_^;;;;;
Azumangaman, I'll see what I can do. I went to bed at 5AM after buying a ton of things online so I have to see which deals are still live. I also have to figure out which cards I own that still have funds available =P
kgroat, yes I did receive your payment. You're all set buddy. Thanks!
danthemightyone, I'm going to go read your PM and get back to you. Appreciate it.
Killmak, the Last Remnant sale was just yesterday but if you want I can try and get you a copy. Don't feel too bad for the UPS guy, I'm keeping him employed in this really rough economy :) He's a nice guy. Trust me he knows me by now as I get packages almost every day of the week lol.

Just in case you guys aren't tired of good video game deals. Here's another one for you to consider (my apologies to your wallets/bank accounts/credit cards in advance). This one is good only today (Monday 12/1/2008 and tomorrow 12/2/2008). It's for eStarland.com. Buy 1 Pre-Owned game and get a 2nd one 70% off. Pretty hard to beat that. They have a good selection of games and are generally very picky about the quality of games they take in. Let me know if there's anything you want from there. Thanks guys!

You know the drill. Send $20.50 to jjparks@improcomics.org on Paypal using non-credit card funds. I'll order it right away if you pay now. THANKS!

Azumangaman it seems the price was a mistake. Borders went back and removed the items from my order so it seems either they changed their mind about the item or that it was a mistake to begin with. Sorry, I did add them to my cart as soon you asked and it seemed to go through. If they resolve it I'll let you know but it seems like they cancelled it on me. Bummer :(

For the Best Buy thing, couldn't you take all our orders and price match at Best Buy? :)
goomba478
12-01-2008, 10:47 PM
Firestorm, that's not such a bad idea. The problem is they typically don't price match online stores (Amazon in particular) and secondly you have to pay 6% sales tax. So even if they did price match, it'll end up costing me a lot more. That is unless I was able to price match a LOT of stuff while in New Hampshire or something. Not an entirely bad idea though. Thanks for the thought!

Azumangaman, I got you the Godfather Blu Rays :) I went with Best Buy. I appreciate that (gets me $42 closer to my goal). I'm not going to charge you a service charge for that item as promised. I'm going to send your invoice now for your newer items ^_^
Magiic, I'm going to order your eStarland items as well. I'll send the invoice tomorrow :)

Not sure if you guys saw this one or not but here it is:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UfhA02-jL._AA280_.jpg
$28.50 USD shipped to Canada. It's technically the Asian version but is 100% identical to the US version according to CheapyD. This is an exclusive CAG discount from Play-Asia so it'll be supporting CAG as well. Let me know if you're interested. This game retails for $60 USD here.

I wonder if you can use Play-Asia coupon on top of the discounted price. I have $8 off $50 and $12 off $100 coupon codes which I won't end up using.

Since I do not yet have a section for it on my new website (I will when it's done, but Black Friday is setting me back at least a week haha) here are some items that other Canadian CAGs are buying. This is a great deal for these (retail is over $125 USD for them all) complete Godfather Blu Ray sets. I can do $53.50 USD shipped to Canada (this includes shipping for the multiple discs and slightly more expensive to ship set).
goomba478
12-02-2008, 12:13 AM
danthemightyone, no I thought that too (because I also have some Play-Asia coupons) but the coupon is actually CH-EAP-ASS (get it?) and you can't use more than one coupon on that site. Still a great deal :) I'm going to pick up one myself and if any of you would like one, let me know. The sale ends 12/3/2008 just so you know (Tom Clancy End War - Xbox 360).

Here's a really fast deal (only good for another 10 minutes!). Anyone interested in Legendary for the Xbox 360? It's on sale for $32 (with tax) from Gamestop.com and includes a free T-Shirt. Let me know...Also available for PS3!

Yeah it's really sad PuppetYuber how downhill the CAD has gone. It's even sadder to think that back in May I was offering to trade 1 USD to 1 CAD and having some members refuse me (back when CAD was worth more). My what a weird world we live in. Actually, it makes visiting Canada more tempting again seeing as everything will magically seem cheaper after converting over the money. Some of you guys should consider selling items to Americans to get USD for your games/items. It seems to me you could easily mirror my services but with Canadian products.
For instance if a game is $49.99 CAD on Amazon.ca then you could likely sell it to an American for $45.99 USD or more and come out ahead in the end due to the currency exchange. Seems to me you could be rather smart about it too if you find good deals on Canadian sales and such. Anyone try this already? If so feel free to spend those USD back with GamesForCanada.com hehe.
PuppetYuber
12-02-2008, 01:51 AM
Ya it is disappointing, 90% of the stuff that was offered in amazon.com turns out to be a decent deal after the currency exchange kick in, and the other 10% is gone within 30 minutes lol.

Okay guys, I'm getting closer by the day to opening up my beta site for the new GamesForCanada.com. I need some of you to contact me if you want to be among the first to try out the site. Keep in mind the following that for now:
1) Your Username on GFC must match the one you use on CAG. This won't be true of the final site, but it'll be helpful in order for me to contact you with questions, credit your rewards points and update your past orders and such.
2) The actual site won't launch till later in December but the Beta site aims to be fully functional. Your input is really appreciated!
3) I will give $5.00 in Canuck Bucks to the first ten people who register with the BETA site. Canuck Bucks will be good towards rewards purchases on the site (again available late December).
Thanks guys! Contact me here or by Email/PM if you want in and I will send you the Beta Registration page by the end of the week ^_^

You don't even need to be a CAG technically speaking, but if you are then I need you to enter it on the signup page that I'm setting up. I will be sending out the invites within the next week (so you AJD23 are invite number one). Consider yourself $5 Canuckbucks richer!

One more order request, Goomba.
Gamefly is selling Rainbow Six Vegas for $9.99 with free shipping at 5 AM EST today.
I'd like one please. Just send me an invoice.
Sign me up for the GFC beta as well, least I can do is help you out.
goomba478
12-02-2008, 03:57 AM
Magiic, there is no cost or requirement to buy anything in order to try out the BETA site when it launches. I just will ask you to register on the site, browse the catalog a little bit and view the new things I've added to get your opinions and feedback on what you like and what you would like to see added and such. Consider yourself 2 of 10 for BETA testers ^_^
goomba478
12-02-2008, 04:03 AM
heimdal I will try to get you one as I'm an active Gamefly member. You just reminded me that my $10 gift card expired 1 minute ago. I was checking out and it expired 12 midnight PST...doh! I was going to get Sid Meier's Revolution for the 360 for only $20. Oh well :( Maybe it's for the best. That game still sells for like $50-$60 most places though. Thanks again! You are BETA 3/10.

I'd be down with testing the new site. :)
As for mirroring your services, I must admit I've totally thought of it, especially since anything on amazon.ca over $40 can instantly be made $10 cheaper. Perhaps once I get a credit card of my own. :p (Which is, I should point out, a nice bonus to ordering things through you; buying Amazon items with PayPal! :p Without that, buying games online with PayPal is limited to Play-Asia, eBay and the like.)
Firestorm
12-02-2008, 04:07 AM
Oh well in that case I'll beta test. I just couldn't think of anything I wanted to buy at this time.
goomba478
12-02-2008, 04:22 AM
Winnopeg you are 4/10 and Firestorm you are 5/10 ^_^ Half way there.
Let me stress again: GamesForCanada.com is not only for Direct Request orders :) It's going to be a fully-featured site with all sorts of sections, rewards, catalog, etc. The Direct Request page will be better integrated into the site but will remain largely unchanged itself. So nothing to worry about.
Beta testing requires NO PURCHASES ^_^ It'd be kind of unfair of me to force purchases upon viewing a website. I don't think anyone would go for that.
Winnopeg, you bring up a good point about buying from Amazon with Paypal through my service. I hadn't thought about that, but that's really true for those without credit cards. I should make that a point on my site in the future :) Thanks for the idea!

If you can, just combine it with my Infinite Undiscovery shipment. Thanks!

gamer602, I can have as many BETA testers as people who want to sign up. It's just the first ten I was giving a $5.00 Canuck Bucks bonus (the credits used to get things from our rewards catalog). You can definitely get in on the Beta action next week!
goomba478
12-02-2008, 03:12 PM
Heimdal, yes I do offer combine shipping but unfortunately I didn't realize you wanted the PS3 version of Rainbow Six Vegas 2...I just looked at your original post and you didn't even mention you wanted Vegas 2 originally (though I assumed you didn't mean the original as it was even more expensive than the sequel with the sale).
The GOOD news is that even though it's sold out from the Gamefly store, I can still get it for you because I'm a Gamefly member. So all I have to do is add it to my rental Queue and once it's approved to ship to me then I click "Keep It" and then they send me the brand new case/manual to go with the game. As you know PS3 discs are generally scratch free so you'll have an almost new copy for a great price. I'll send you an invoice later once I confirm that I can get you the PS3 copy (I'm 99% sure I can). Thanks!

I then explained they were almost all for you guys and she was fine with that. She even helped me organize the orders for a change :) Nice to have an extra pair of hands helping. Working around the clock. Most of these games are shipping out tomorrow and the rest will ship as they come in. Thanks guys!
goomba478
12-02-2008, 11:25 PM
Firestorm, they were in the past but the stores I bought them from recently increased their prices. The ones I have in stock now I paid $41.99 for actually, so at $42 I break even but it's all good. I just have to sell these 2 or 3 before I can buy more at potentially lower prices. I'll send you the code via PM :)

Yes kgroat. Credit cards are EVIL. I have probably negated all profit I have ever made online paying interest on credit cards.

12-02-2008, 11:52 PM
WOW...haha 1/3 orders huh? Too bad you couldn't take a picture of ALL your orders together; now THAT would be EPIC (Photoshop maybe? :lol:). I'm guessing mine will be in the 4/5 shipment, no hurry though. I guess we really do keep you on your toes with all these orders though.
goomba478
12-02-2008, 11:56 PM
Haha yeah I know AJD23, the evil Goomba side of me was tempted to do that, but there's no way I can hold onto all this stuff and make you guys wait on your orders. Not only would it be wrong but I think my wife would make me sleep on the couch. I have a comfy couch but it's not even 1/10 as nice as my cashmere bed =)
I am considering a photoshop job though putting all the items into one picture still ^_^ Sort of a panorama type pic lol. Yes yours will likely be in the #5 shipment as you said. This is by far the busiest week I've ever had ... the post office workers are going to give me a crazy look since all of these have to be hand processed in order to go to Canada. At least I'm keeping the US Economy going strong!
AJD23
12-02-2008, 11:59 PM
Yes, come next year we can reminisce about your past Black Friday and look at the Photoshopped picture of all the orders you got, so we can trump it! Am I getting too ahead of myself? :roll: With that said, I want to thank you again for your services! (sorry if that sounds really suck-up ish)
goomba478

Good stuff :)
goomba478
12-03-2008, 01:37 AM
Heimdal, yeah that's why I was a little confused at first (good thing I didn't order you the first one!). I'm sure I can find someone that wants the Xbox 360 version anyhow at that price it's a steal. I will let you know tomorrow about the PS3 for $10 (should be do-able!). I added it to my Queue but it hasn't been sent to me yet. Let you know tomorrow ^_^
heimdal
12-03-2008, 02:05 AM
Umm...actually I have both systems, so the 360 version should be fine as well if you can't get the PS3 one.
Just wanted it for PS3 since I have the first one on that system, for continuity and controller purposes, y'know?
goomba478
12-03-2008, 02:19 AM
Yeah I hear you. Well I'll try to get you the PS3 version tomorrow. If that doesn't work out at least I have the Xbox 360 one ready for you. Also, I have the Xbox 360 Collector's edition too which someone bailed out on me so if you want that one instead I could give you a great price on that. I need it to be sold soon....

if not i would like KH + KH2 :D
goomba478
12-03-2008, 02:25 AM
PuppetYuber, I can try for you. The good news is that even if the sale is over they are doing Buy one get one 50% off until 12/12/2008...so the difference won't be very much. Also keep in mind they charge $5.00-$6.00 for shipping per order. Thanks!
PuppetYuber
12-03-2008, 02:27 AM
ouch, so that would be 2x shipping charges lol i will pass then, thanks =D
goomba478
12-03-2008, 02:32 AM
PuppetYuber here is what it'd cost for KH1 & KH2 from eStarland:
+ $11.95 (KH1)
+ $14.50 (KH2)
+ $5.00 (Shipping from eStarland)
- $8.37 (Coupon/Discount)
-------------------
= $23.08 + $5.00 Shipping to Canada + $3.00 Service Charge (2 Games)
---------------
== GRAND TOTAL = $31.08 USD for both games shipped to Canada. Let me know if you're still interested and I'll order for you ^_^

Heyyy, those Persona 3's aren't FES's, silly Amazon :roll: Oh well, I expected as much. It didn't make sense that they were listing it with extras :lol:
Anyways I haven't thought of anything else I must order (it's bad to buy myself stuff before Christmas), so seeing as you have the Persona's already you may as well invoice me and figure out how much credit I have left over ;)
goomba478
12-03-2008, 04:10 AM
Actually Ragnar14, I hate to burst your bubble but they are in fact FES'. They are a special (and really awesome) combination of the original Persona 3 box, with FES inside with the art book and the back has an ad for Persona 4. A little bit of everything all rolled into one (I'll get pictures up for you).

If for some reason you don't see your item listed, don't worry. There's a few that I have entered into Quick Books yet. I spent too long working on my inventory program and my new invoice system and I simply ran out of time. I will be working from 12PM Noon till 5PM on shipping all the orders out. Whatever doesn't go out tomorrow will go out Thursday or Friday (depending if all your items are in or not). Thanks again guys :) You made this a fun and crazy week ^_^

This will be all automated once the new GFC site launches but for now I'll do it manually. The 3 or 4 hours I put into redoing this today will save me TONS OF TIME in the future ^_^ *whew it's over*

** Refer to your Invoice PDFs that I send to you via Email if you are wondering which order is which. The number at the far left corresponds to your order's invoice number. If you have any questions be sure to ask. Now I need so much-needed rest ^_^ Thanks guys!

Damn, those P3 sets are nice. If only Christmas wasn't coming I would've gotten one myself.

12-03-2008, 02:40 PM
They would have been even better if I was able to get them when they were $19.99. Unfortunately I had ordered them all when they were $29.99 (which is still a great deal) and they wouldn't let me order any more. I should have made a fourth Amazon account lol but that'd be pushing it I think.

New deal today from Gamefly - Condemned 2 used for Xbox 360 or PS3 only $15.75 shipped to Canada. Let me know if you're interested. Not sure how long it'll be available for! Gamefly discs are generally in good shape (PS3 in particular) and they include the case and manual nearly brand new almost every time as they keep those in a vault and only send users the discs for rental.

Good news and bad news folks:
Bad news first: I am returning to the working world now and will not be home and working on packages until around 5PM tomorrow night (BOO) but ...
Good news: Almost all the packages have come in for your orders and all packages should be mailed out by Friday/Saturday (some of the items were delayed on Amazon's end: something I haven't control over). Thanks again guys ^_^ It's been fun and crazy for the past week or so. It'll all be over soon :)

Maybe kind of O-T, but I was unboxing our shipments at TRU today and saw that Special Edition Mario DS Bundle seen in your "Black Friday" shipments. Man, I'm so urged to get one of those as my first DS :lol:
SO NICE! How much were they going for when you got them?
goomba478
12-04-2008, 03:36 AM
When we had them on the Amazon Black Friday sale they were going for $135 USD but the retail price of them is $150 (most places sell for $150 and most places are sold out...sort of a collector's item). Definitely a great first DS though. You don't own a DS by now? Really? It's my favorite system of this generation...no lie! You gotta get one, one way or another!

Goomba, please preorder me a Persona 4 from amazon.com. It doesn't seem like Canada is getting the artbook thingy.
goomba478
12-04-2008, 12:15 PM
Yeah...Persona 4 is by far the most pre-ordered product I've ever had on GamesForCanada.com...So far I have almost 15 of them pre-ordered. I even have members from Australia, Russia and Africa ordering it. I'll send you an invoice my friend.
Hopefully Amazon doesn't cut me off lol. That's a LOT of copies for one member to order ^_^ Not to mention all those Social Link kits people are getting. My wife is totally going to kill me this week.

I just received the invoice but was wondering if the shipping price included can be reworked as I'll be getting social link pack and many others. ;-)
goomba478
12-04-2008, 12:48 PM
Yeah, I more than likely can re-work the shipping for you. I just have to keep it that way in case I can't. It's a lot easier to refund you the difference if there is one than send you a seperate invoice, if that's cool with you. I just want to make sure I can get you a copy before they cut off the pre-orders like they did last time :) I promise if I'm able to combine your shipping and save you on the money I will do so.
goomba478
12-05-2008, 12:46 AM
Just so you guys know I'm still eagerly shipping and awaiting new package shipments. Getting there! Besides the couple of orders that have not yet been paid for (please if you got an invoice send payment before Friday night...) I'm making great progress ^_^ Thanks again!

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I have switched over to a new type of business shipping called Endicia. It allows me to better integrate my shipping with my current system of Quickbooks and also enables to me to create custom postage labels that have the customs form on a single label in addition to my company logos and such.
Perhaps most important: I can now add insurance to first class packages (something that USPS doesn't do by themselves). It is done through Endicia and their insurance company and will cost you $2 USD to insure up to $100 (and slightly more after that). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS for people who are ordering 4-5 games in a single package or more expensive items. I say this not because we've lost a lot of packages, but because there always is at least some risk with international shipping and around the holidays it seems to be where the post offices have the most trouble. Just keep it in the back of your head in the future :) The option now exists for you. Thanks!

hey goomba, I'm just waiting for a big chunk of cash to get transferred to my PayPal account so I can send one lump sum, it should be done processing today. Is it possible to add the shipping insurance as of today? I definitely don't want to have another mailing mishap! And I can't recall, but do you write the value of the package on the outside?
goomba478
12-05-2008, 01:39 PM
Yes you can add insurance at any time now (before I ship obviously). $2.00 for almost all orders :) I think it's well worth the piece of mind. The only thing, like you say, is that I can only insure what is on the customs form for the value of the item. So if you are ordering $100 worth of things but only have $45 on the customs, you can only insure up to $45...keep that in mind :)
game_fanatic
12-05-2008, 01:50 PM
No problem goomba, I got the cash in my paypal now, did you want to send a money request so I can send you USD funds?

Hmm, I was gonna say that I ordered from Amazon.ca over a week ago for P4 and it used to show the pre-order artbook on the page, but it seems they've removed it... Hope they only removed it since it's about to come out and won't offer it to new orders, rather than removing it because they don't have them! Otherwise that'd be false advertising!!
goomba478
12-05-2008, 02:34 PM
Well if you ordered it on time and it showed an artbook they should give it to you (in theory) but the fact that the US one shows it still and the CAN one does not is reason enough to worry about it. Nothing wrong with being sure :) If it doesn't include the art book when they ship you can always complain and have it returned (at least in the US) and typically they cover return shipping if they were the ones at fault.
That being said, those of you who put your orders in with me are guaranteed to get your art books unless Amazon royally screws up (which isn't like them). Thanks guys!

I love how it notifies buyers when I ship though. I should have all orders shipped by Monday or Tuesday now ;) Thanks again everyone!

For $2 I might as well get insurance for mine, if it hasn't shipped yet. Is that per package or per order?
goomba478
12-06-2008, 05:35 AM
winnopeg it is per package but most orders are only one package. For larger items with multiple items it would be $2 per package or you could simply group them with expensive items inaured and others not. It's totally up to you. Thanks!

Yeah, maybe I'll opt for insurance for both packages. A few of the eBay users I've sold to recently have messaged me saying they haven't received their stuff yet... Stupid Canada Post.

Goomba,
If it's still at $12 when you see this, could you get me a copy of Makai Kingdom on amazon.com please? If it's still available I would like to combine it with a preorder of Persona 4. That's after paying the amount due, of course. :)
Thanks!

hey goomba, I know it's not a videogame, but theres a pair of headphones I want to get, that I can only seem to find on amazon.com
Would you be able to ship it?
goomba478
12-07-2008, 12:48 PM
PuppetYuber, Do you want quotes for Chain of Memories: New, Complete or Cartridge only? I can get all three so let me know specifically which you would like the price for :)
maigoyume, yes your package shipped right before I had the new Endicia system so you didn't get an Email (like you will in the future when I ship out). Here's your info: SHIPPED 12/5/2008 - LJ203117318US
CatBoy, I will go and order you one as it seems they are still $12 :) WOW that's a good price. Anyone else want one while they are available?
PuppetYuber (again), Amazon.com has cut me off for Persona 4 for now. I can get you a copy with the art book from Gamestop still but they charge me tax and $5 more than Amazon. Not sure if you're interested still.
whitehawk, I can ship virtually anything as I've said before :) No restriction to games only or anything. I've shipped tons of headphones, speakers, clothing items, food items, you name it. Just let me know the pair's model and I'll send you an invoice :) Thanks! Feel free to PM me with your personal information (Name, Address, Email and Phone number). THANKS!

by the way PuppetYuber, when you say Chain of Memories are you referring to the new PS2 remake of the GBA original? I assume that you are but that one is technically:
"
Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories"
Let me know. Thanks! It's $29.99 on Amazon.com plus shipping and such to Canada.

12-07-2008, 01:07 PM
