lordhokage, those cables don't seem to be HDMI 1.3 certified. You'd also be paying shipping to goomba and then back to Canada. I think it's better to go with www.monoprice.com (http://www.monoprice.com) for HDMI cables.

I just bought chain of memory from local EB thanks, so you cant get anymore Personas 4 from Amazon? :<

goomba478

12-07-2008, 07:14 PM

PuppetYuber it doesn't seem like it. I'll ask my cousin if he can order one for tomorrow but Amazon has maxed out my account :( Sorry bro. Glad you found the Chain of Memories!

PuppetYuber

12-07-2008, 07:19 PM

alright np, i will just get them off amazon.ca without the pre-order bundle xD

but ya, i went to fs/bb/toys r us/zellers and none of them had chain of memories lol
finally found them at ebgames today =X

goomba478

12-07-2008, 07:28 PM

Sorry man. I'm sure people will be selling the art book seperately on eBay next week. So if you find one for a good price I'd be happy to help you get one :) It may end up cheaper that way than ordering the game from me and having it shipped to Canada and all. Never know :)

PuppetYuber

12-07-2008, 07:34 PM

Np it is alright. Since amazon.ca and amazon.com has the same price listed, with or without the bundle, so i dont mind paying like 5-10 dollars more for them. It is not like i really want them though lol. I didn't get the Persona 3 FES bundle for 29.99. When I bought my Personas 3 FES off amazon.ca a few weeks ago, the game itself costed me 29.99. I wasn't aware of the fact that, the bundle was selling for the same price, which is really strange lol. (gimme my free artbook and soundtrack damn you amazon!)

thanks anyways

If makai kingdom is still 12 bucks, could you grab me one and then just combine with my P4 order when that arrives? Also, if that P4 social link expansion pack pops up again between now and release and you see it, could you grab one as well? Amazon.ca had it in stock briefly but I got the notice email too late. Thanks goomba, let me know!

Hey guys I am back home now and will be up for the next thirty minutes or so. They sent me home from work an hour early (casino was DEAD) which sucks but oh well. I get an extra hour of sleep which is probably worth its weight in gold right now :)

I will let you know maigoyume about your items in the next post in a minute.

12-08-2008, 04:46 AM

PuppetYuber, yup I just picked up a couple copies myself. Hope it stays that way tomorrow :) Thanks for the tip! Anyone interested in a copy? $25 USD shipped to Canada for Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (PS2) Brand New!

maigoyume

12-08-2008, 12:46 PM

maigoyume it would come to about $115 USD for everything you mentioned shipped. Just so you know, if you were to spend $20 more on the vitamin website you could save on the shipping (free shipping on orders over $90). The shipping is about $7 or $8 anyway so really if you spend 12 more you're getting 20 worth. Not sure if you care or not.

Let me know :) Thanks!I tried adding up to $90 worth of vitamins into the cart, they won't let you get free standard shipping because of the weight. Anyways 12 bottles of those vitamins will be plenty, along with the 2 headphones. Thanks a lot goomba.

Edit: My bro also wants a pair of these

Hey Goomba, any chance of getting a copy of Skate 2 from Target? They're selling the PS3 version for $20, and that's a deal I can't help but get in on (and I lack Amerifriends. :cry:)

Linky: http://www.target.com/Skate-2-PlayStation-3/dp/B001FZ13AU/sr=1-4/qid=1228770334/ref=sr_1_4/176-5302793-9077853?ie=UTF8&index=target&field-browse=103853Askate%202&page=198&rh=k

I placed an order on your site, though it looks pretty "beta" so I figured I might check with you here too.

Cheers!

goomba478

12-08-2008, 08:23 PM

Oh Thank God...it's back. My stupid Internet provider today disconnected my service and for the last 12+ hours or so I was totally Internet free...I was about ready to pull my hair out :) Luckily it's back. Oh man is it good to be back!

Mberkes, I was actually able to get you the $12 Makai Kingdom. Did you not want it now?

maigoyume, I'll look into that for your brother and send you an estimated invoice tonight (if all goes well with my orders and packing...being without internet set me behind almost 8 hours now).

WillGabriel, haha yeah it is still in it's Pre-Beta format actually. Black Friday set me over a week behind so the real beta probably won't launch until after Christmas (still trying to get new orders out). That Skate 2 price sounds too good to be true :) I will send you an invoice though and hopefully they'll honor the price!

I'm here ... sorry my wife and I had a little bit of a fight today over all the boxes and stuff in the house. My little business/project has sort of taken over the living room and house and she was really upset about it. So we just spent like the last 4 hours or so cleaning it up. To top it off, we had to get a ladder from Home Depot to utilize our newly acquired attic and it worked out okay (not nearly done yet but I told her it'll be done by the end of the week).

Puppetyuber, no I didn't get either of them because nobody had requested them and for me I already have enough games on backlog.

whitehawk, let me go figure it out for you right this second ^_^ BRB

goomba478

12-09-2008, 12:45 AM

Whitehawk here is an estimate of what it'd cost you:

Panasonic RP-HTX7-G1 Monitor Headphones (green)

$32.30 USD - Actual cost of Headphones from Amazon (I get free shipping from them)
$06.00 USD - Shipping cost of a 1 pound package to Canada
$02.00 USD - My service fee for efforts
------------
$40.30 USD - Grand Total. Please add 6% if paying with a credit card. If you want me to order for you just let me know by PM Your Full Name, Address, Email and Phone number and I will send you an official invoice with instructions. Thanks!

goomba478

12-09-2008, 12:52 AM

Maigoyume, with the pair your brother wants in addition to the other items it'll be approximately $140 USD Shipped to Canada for everything. Let me know :) Thanks!

12-09-2008, 01:13 AM

darn it was sold out when the front page was updated xD
next time if there is a ps2 deals, grab it for me :D

goomba478

12-09-2008, 01:18 AM

The problem is that I have been buying too much stuff in the hopes of selling it in the future and a lot of it has fallen by the wayside :( My credit card debt actually went up this year by almost 20% despite having a lot of sales and a pretty decent amount of purchases. A lot of this has to do with interest, but honestly most of it is because I buy too much with hopes of selling it and then not finding buyers in time :( That's why I'm trying only to order things for people after they ask, and not buy them before they pay. That way I use the money they pay me with rather than charging on my credit cards. I've dug a big ditch and I'm trying very desperately to get out of it.

I really gotta work my tail off to make this work and convince my wife I'm not crazy. I'm not doing such a good job on the latter =p

PuppetYuber

12-09-2008, 02:15 AM

well make a black friday sale yourself with those stocks, count me in for that
i am still trying to pick up some good old PS2 games
mgs series / personas / gow / square enix games / suikoen / tales series etc
so if they are on sale at all with a steal price, just get it for me, but chances are i will be moderating amazon.com's deal though. not sure how i missed gow and gow2 deal :<

12-09-2008, 03:37 AM

Wtf, I have those Panasonic headphones, in white and black (my bro uses the black ones), got 'em from work for cheap... but is the green one special? If it is I'll just paint over my white ones (wait... why haven't I done this before?).

goomba478

12-09-2008, 09:44 AM

Okay sounds good Doctorofstyle. That puts us at 3/5 Skate 2's IF (and trust me with Target it's always a big IF) they follow up on that price. I'm hoping they do because they are now powered by Amazon.com and they're usually good about those things, but it may be Amazon's website template and Target's policies. We will find out soon enough I suppose :)

Sweet, if you got it for 12 then I'll definitely still take it! I can send $13 right away, unless it would be a problem to combine with P4? Let me know the charge, thanks!

Also, my little bro wanted little big planet for Christmas, but I'm worried if I got it on amazon, and then through you, if it would arrive on time for Christmas. Do you know how long it would take for that? Or should I just be safe and do the whole 'pay msrp' in stores?

goomba478

12-09-2008, 04:36 PM

You're welcome PuppetYuber :) I know that you and a few others were looking for a good deal on it. mberkes, yes I did get you a copy :) I have no problem combining it with your P4 order. Persona 4 should be in tomorrow I believe, so I'll let you know when it comes in how much it'll be to combine the two orders together.

Shouldn't take long :) Thanks!

mberkes

12-09-2008, 05:04 PM

Cool, send me the tab tomorrow and I'll send the payment. And don't worry about LBP or anything, I figure I'll go to TRU and take advantage of their 'buy 2 get 1' deal right now.

I did indeed ... in fact I got a huge 6 foot box full of boxes full of boxes lol. They shipped like 8 of the Social Link Pack in multiple boxes within a single large box (kind of insane). I'd post photos but I have to go to work now. You can be sure I'll post them tomorrow or whenever. Man this Black Friday week is insane ^_^;;;

Greetings from Target.com.

Due to an unexpected error, the following item(s) you have ordered were incorrectly priced at the time of your order.

Skate 2 (PlayStation 3)

We're sorry, but we are unable to offer this item for the incorrect price. The correct price is $59.99. We have canceled your order for this item. If you would like to order this item at the correct price, please visit Target.com and reorder.

Despite our best efforts, a small number of items on our site are occasionally mis-priced. We do, however, verify prices as part of our shipping procedures. If we discover that an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of the cancellation. This pricing policy is posted in the Help section on Target.com.

I figured that but it still sucks =P BOOOO. They should honor it for those who bought it at that price, or at least give me some kind of discount/coupon as an apology.

rayee6

12-11-2008, 04:46 AM

hey goomba,

I was wondering if I buy dvds from amazon and get the free shipping, how much are you asking for me to have the dvds shipped to canada?

and if I want to make an order, do I make it by PM you through CAG or do I sign up on your website?

goomba478

12-11-2008, 04:53 AM

Hi rayee6, I'm glad you ask. This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get so here it goes. I'll be elaborating more on this once the new site launches but thanks to all the orders I have had the last two weeks I'm really behind on all that.

For Amazon and sites that offer free shipping, I calculate shipping to Canada solely based on weight and materials. So for the average DVD/Game weighing 5-7 ounces in weight it will cost $3 USD to mail to Canada. The actual shipping cost is about $2.50 USD and I usually have to include a small amount ($0.50 or so) for packing materials/bubble mailers/gas to post office, whatever...

for games that are slightly heavier 8oz-10 ounces I charge $4.00 USD and so on. Obviously the heavier the item the more it costs to ship.

I can add insurance to any item up to $100 for $2.00 USD as well.

----------------------
As for the best way to order from me, the BEST way is to use my automated page:
http://gamesforcanada.com/direct-request.php

That's because the page will add your order into an automated queue system I have, notify me by Email and iPhone message and give me all your info (Name, Address, etc.). Doing it this way will add you into my Quickbooks software as well, which I use to send out invoices/bills/shipping confirmation, so it really encompasses EVERYTHING.

PM's are frowned upon because CAG limits me to 150 messages received/sent at any time and my box fills up fast. The message board is alright for quick orders, but still the webpage is the best as it gives me a permanent copy of your order and isn't lost in the shuffle of things. Thanks again! I hope to help you order soon rayee6!

I do indeed live next to quite a few radio Shacks. They didn't have anything that great when I went there a few days ago but I will try to check out a few others. Radio Shack deals are VERY YMMV and generally very limited sorry to say. They just advertise them to get you in the door =P

Like I said, if I didn't have so much to do (work/packing/family/etc.) and a HUGE backlog of games to play that'd be one of the first I'd check out. I'm also a real wuss when it comes to scary games though so I'm not sure how long I'd last with that one ;) Enjoy my friend! Hope to do business with you again soon.

I probably shouldn't be advertising this seeing as I've still got about 10 or so orders to pack in the next two days, but the Persona 3 FES Artbook/CD special edition bundle) is on sale again on Amazon.com. I can do $33 USD SHIPPED to Canada including all fees. Quite a bargain. Basically you are picking up the artbook and CD for free pretty much. Not sure how long these will stay in stock on Amazon. Let me know if you want one!

REALLY!??

DAMN! I was about to order too!

OH! that coupon makes it 19.99!!!!

WOOT!! THANKS!

12-12-2008, 02:49 PM

No problem PuppetYuber :) Good to know ^_^ If I didn't point it out, then you wouldn't have responded to it and gamer602 wouldn't have found a deal :) so there's no harm in posting. My service is all about Win/Win anyway. Thanks guys! Get this game, it's FANTASTIC :)

PuppetYuber

12-12-2008, 04:04 PM

ya but i was stupid to buy the game itself for 28.99..
amazon.ca is dumb (I was aware they were offering bundle until recently.

28.99 for the game
29.99 for the bundle (1 dollar for artbook and soundtrack lol)

goooooooomba goooooo to radioshakkkkkk :D

goomba478

12-12-2008, 04:08 PM

Can't you return it to Amazon.ca PuppetYuber? Here in the US I believe you have 30 days to return it ... if there is nothing wrong with it, then you are responsible for return shipping and such but I believe they will take it back and refund you. Not sure if the .ca one is the same or not, but I imagine it's similar.

Can't go to Radio Shack today unfortunately (packing for the next two hours then back to Casino). I'll check for you tomorrow though. Thanks!

PuppetYuber

12-12-2008, 04:14 PM

I guess I could but that is too much work xD, not really a collector for artbook / soundtrack anyways. beside I combined this game with a usb just to use the 10 dollars off coupon! It is all good.

of course if I had another chance, I would pre-order Personas 4 off you (exact same price with extra book!), and get the Personas 3 bundle instead of just the game itself off .ca xD

but oh well xD

thanks goomba <3!

goomba478

12-12-2008, 04:30 PM

Haha it's all good my friend. I actually have more Persona 4's in stock now if you're still interested. I had my cousin get me 3 and he was able to get the artbooks. Let me know!

How much for Persona 4? On the .ca one it is 36-10 coupon so 26 CAD!

12-12-2008, 04:56 PM

In that case you're better off just going with the Amazon.ca website. Mine is going to come to about $46 USD shipped (game and book weigh over a pound or so). Not bad if you want the art book but if the .ca site still gives the artbook by all means that's a better deal. (btw is the coupon Canada only?)

You mean the $10 off every $40 purchase?
It think its a promotion between VISA AND AMAZON-it states that you have to use a VISA Card...but us CAGS have found ways to use it multiple times and with s different credit card!

Visit visaperks.ca...I also want to know if you can use it GOOMBA!

PuppetYuber

12-12-2008, 04:58 PM

and to use the coupon u must purchase over 40 dollars.

That's not confirmed yet, I don't think anybodies got theirs yet? Or at least that I've heard of.
While it's confirmed they screwed everyone with Eternal Poison they apparently did send out Luminous Arc artbooks (I don't know, my months early pre-order still hasn't shipped). So we might get lucky with P4 :bouncy:

I might consider using you for Rightstuf. I'll probably make an order of insane proportions, and I'm considering your service because I usually pay $40+ is customs with each order (I make very large orders).

goomba478

12-14-2008, 09:52 PM

As an aside, did you get the order I submitted through your website? Just curious, I really need those headphones by the end of the week.

12-14-2008, 11:10 PM

Winnopeg

12-14-2008, 11:53 PM

CptIronnutz, I would be willing to do that for you of course. I believe another member was going to do that, but I never did receive their items yet so it's possible they are no longer interested. PM Me for my address and I'd be happy to help you.

Winnopeg, I wrote you back (maybe you didn't get it). It's almost impossible to get you those by the end of the week without you paying for Rush delivery which I imagine is quite pricey. How much is it worth to you? Priority Shipping MIGHT get there in time but Express definitely would. If you want an estimate I can send you one....
Nope, didn't get anything (and I just checked the spam folder to be sure, nothing there).

I paid $80 for my first set (they broke earlier this year) and London Drugs no longer carries them, so unless it's three times the cost of the headphones or something I'll probably just go for rush delivery. But yeah, lets start with that estimate I guess, it's probably good to know how much I need to set aside. :p

goomba478

12-15-2008, 12:09 AM

Okay you got it Winnopeg. It's about $45 to ship UXG (fastest shipping possible to Canada) ... Guarantee 1-3 day delivery! If I order overnight delivery now on Amazon I'll have by Tuesday and will overnight to you you should get them by Friday 99% sure...

goomba478

12-15-2008, 12:21 AM

I ordered 1 day delivery for you on Amazon. It's $3.99 per item, but you seem really motivated to make this happen so it's my only choice. I'll have to get the order in by 12:00 midnight EST so I went ahead and ordered them for you. They will be delivered Tuesday which means by all accounts they should get to you by Friday. Crazy fast shipping that is :) maybe you can find something else to buy/ship with the items to make it more worthwhile to you. UXG shipping includes $100 USD free insurance as well by the way. So your headphones are barely scratching that limit. Maybe throwing in a game will make it better ^_^

Winnopeg

12-15-2008, 12:23 AM

Okay, yeah, guess I'll go for that. Though never again will I leave gifts to the last minute. :p

As for adding something else to the order, I've bought way too much lately and I've got a backlog (something new for me) of about ~7 games so I think I'm good. :p

goomba478

12-15-2008, 02:42 PM

kathos, I have a TON of stuff from Black Friday still as well as my normal games in stock. I just spent almost 20 hours this week (yes .... 20 hours) re-organizing my office/stock/house and I'm nearly done now. By the end of the week I will be posting photos of nearly all my stock and then you can see if any of it interests you. I'm scared to calculate how much I spent on all this stuff. It's just so much...

The good news is that once I finish all this cleaning, packing, shipping and all I can get back to bringing GamesForCanada.com out of beta. God knows that's been a long time coming. There's just so much to do :)

-------------

danthemightyone, good news! Your other Rosenqueen Box came in! I have to run through the list to make sure everything is in there, but you're about to receive a TON of great stuff...so don't feel too bad :) Out of all the orders this Black Friday I think I envy your items the most to be honest. They look so cool (especially the Prinny items!)

Thanks for the update. I can't complain with all those stuff I ordered, which did major damages. ;-) When you finish packaging and shippings, let me know on the outstanding balance on Persona 4 stuff.

It seems like the holiday savings deal on rosenqueen is not posted in CAG, NeoGAF and elsewhere much so they still have those very limited bundles. Or is it just another sign of bad economy?

If you are a fan of Disgaea and prinnies, you should be keeping your eye on this (http://www.pspworld.com/sony-psp/games/prinny-psp-preview-009459.php). I am hoping rosenqueen brings a decent preorder stuff/bundle for this. There was only a soundtrack CD in Japan though.

goomba478

12-15-2008, 03:13 PM

The bundles seem to be left-overs from all their various give-aways in the past, so who knows how much of it they still have. The good news is that the items look AWESOME and there's really no way to have gotten all that stuff normally without shelling out some big bucks, so I think all-in-all it's a great deal. You're going to be bubbly with Rosenqueen happiness when you open your boxes :) that's for sure!

Haha yeah I saw this on Kotaku (and the Prinny Mobile was AWESOME). Looks really good. I'm sure they'll have some kind of extra thing for it in the US (hopefully). Cya soon my friend ^_^

Don't know if you guys care or not, but the Best Buy exclusive Ace Combat 6 Flight Set with Flight Controller and extra DVD just dropped to $99.00. I realize it was the shipping that killed the deal when it was $150, but now that it's only $100 it may be worth it to some of you. Not sure if that's the new price or if it's a sale, but if you want it let me know. Remember, I'm offering a No Service Charge service for Best Buy items this month only. Thanks!

Hey Goomba, since you seem to be the master of International shipping (when it comes to Canada at least) would you have any idea how much more shipping rates are for these items were you to ship them to Japan?
Just curious for the future when I actually have some cash!

danthemightyone

12-16-2008, 01:08 AM

goomba478

12-16-2008, 01:10 AM

heimdal it would be about $78 USD shipped to Canada after fees and shipping and all.

gamer602, it'd be about $137 USD shipped to Canada including tax and shipping. The item weighs about 10 pounds so it has to be shipped Priority Mail (which is faster anyway).

dv8mad, great to see you as a guest visitor here all the way from Japan! I can definitely calculate any items you want to Japan ^_^ Just let me know the items and I'd be more than happy to help! I only charge flat fees for my services by the way. Any items in particular?

$003.00 - Actual charge of shipping to my house from BestBuy.com

----------------
$141.00 USD total to Canada. Please note I am not charging any service charge. This is actual cost straight through. I'm trying to reach Rewards Silver status to Best Buy so this entire month (two weeks left) I am not charging Service charges for any items from Best Buy. Thanks guys!

Honestly nothing in particular at the moment as I have no extra cash.:roll: It's just that I have had a few of my friendly neighborhood CAGS run around and grab things for me in the past, and I know it's a hassle for them. I try try not to ask too often, but since you already seem to do alot of running around... ;)

goomba478

12-16-2008, 01:18 AM

dv8mad, here is standard shipping charges to Japan. Not bad actually considering the distance ^_^:

6 ounces - $6.00 (Standard Game weight so most single games I ship are 6-7 ounces)
1 pound - $11.00 (2-3 games standard weight, with bubble mailer/padding)
2 pounds - $18.00
3 pounds - $25.00
4 pounds - $30.10

There you go. You can fit a LOT of games for the 4 pounds by the way ^_^ Hope to do business with you in the future! I'd love to have an actual friend in Japan..that'd be super useful haha :)

I realize it's a bit late guys, but I can get 15% off most items on Newegg.com today ... so if there's something you want there, might be a good time now. Computer RAM, Games, etc. are all eligible! Some items (mostly games) offer free shipping there too. Let me know :)

Hmmm I might have to get you to pick me up some computer parts from there soon. Parts prices are rising in Canada again :(

goomba478

12-16-2008, 01:20 AM

dv8mad,

Well I'd be more than happy to do it for you. Actually, I'm working towards someday doing this as a full time job (a Goomba can dream can't he?). Making $2-$3 dollars per order doesn't sound like much but there's no risk as opposed to my eBay sales which have a TON of fees and often make me lose money. So I'd rather think Win/Win and help you guys and make a few dollars on the side. A few orders here and there adds up fast :) I have a TON of debt as well, so the sooner I pay that off the better ^_^

Definitely let me know though if there's anything you see that you'd like. I have a lot of leftover items from the Amazon black friday sales too by the way. Keep an eye here and on my CAG Blog on Thursday. I'm going to be listing nearly my entire game collection in photos for you guys to oggle :) Doumo Arigatou!

killmak, if you're thinking about doing it...do it soon. The sale ends at 12PM Pacific Time (which is only about 2 hours and a half from now) or until their "sale funds" end out. Meaning if you wait too long the sale may be over, or in-eligeable for the discount. Don't wait too long :)

I will take a look at some stuff, cash is low right now with christmas :(. In the past though I have wished I could buy stuff from there due to their great prices but since they dont ship to Canada (I think) I have to pay more somewhere else. Now that you brought up that they were having a sale I remembered all those times.

Did you know there was a NewEgg.ca now? I'm not sure if they carry as much as their American counterparts, but I'm in talks with them now. They're going to partially sponsor my new site so I'm going to add them as an affiliate for parts that they do carry. Kind of cool actually :) They have a lot of sales this time of the year so I'll try to bring it up if they have another one soon if you don't order anything today. Thanks!

That would be great for you to get them to sponsor you. Yes I looked at newegg.ca when it first came out and wasnt very impressed with it. I didnt see anything that jumped out at me to buy today. When it comes time to build my new computer I will make sure to remember to check newegg.com.

goomba478

12-16-2008, 01:41 AM

Yeah their affiliate program isn't bad. I do worry that it may be more limited than the US site, but who knows it might get better. I will be mostly just featuring games of theirs but we'll see how that goes. If I don't get enough clicks to their site they'll likely drop sponsorship anyway lol so it may not be lasting very long ^_^ Time will tell. Just gotta get all my orders out for the holidays. I think I may have to wait till January to actually get the new site live unfortunately. I had no idea December was going to be so crazy busy haha.

ragnar14

12-16-2008, 04:48 AM

Just so you know, you kick newegg.ca's ass. They just kinda mirror stuff from .com, and when you order something they ship it from their US warehouses. Oh and they only ship UPS up to us. So there's a expensive boarder crossing and expensive shipping with them. Given a choice of a middleman you win hands down ;)

Oh, and my Persona 3 arrived safe & sound today. Thank you!

ughh goomba you are killing me...that eStarland deal seems too good to pass up. Could I get Star Wars: Republic Commando and FFIX? Both are Used, for XBox and PSx, respecticely. It would be $13.50 for the first item, and $4.05 for the second item, correct? If you could shoot me the total final cost, I'll give you the 100% by the end of the day. Thanks!

Ragnar14, that's good to know and also disappointing to hear about NewEgg.ca because I was hoping they'd be better than the rest. They used to offer free shipping on almost everything to the US, but that changed over time. Still they pack really fast and generally anything I order from them I get in 2-3 days tops. Love NewEgg...

game_fanatic, Not trying to kill you :) The eStarland games are almost always 100% Complete, in great condition and often re-sealed to keep them great until you're ready to open them. Gotta love that. I will shoot you an invoice today.

120GB Xbox 360 Harddrive (Brand New!) - $116 USD Shipped

killmak, I can get you an even better deal on a 120GB HD if you want. Here is the item on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-GENUINE-Microsoft-120GB-Hard-Drive-for-Xbox-360_W0QQitemZ330291502426QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_ Games_Accessories?hash=item330291502426&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A13 08|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

They are selling only $106 shipped to me from eBay and then another $10 or so to ship to Canada. So altogether roughly $116 USD for a brand new 120GB Harddrive. The only difference is it will be OEM style packaging (generic) rather than the fancy one you'd see in stores. Let me know! ^_^

FIRST COME FIRST SERVE: 30% OFF ONE ITEM ON BORDERS.COM
-------------
Good selection of DVDs, Blu Rays, and of course Books. Let me know if there's something on there that you want. 30% isn't bad at all :) The coupon is good in their stores as well, so if it's a heavier item that requires shipping I may be able to get it at my local Borders store. Thanks guys ^_^

The problem with the oem one is that it doesnt come with the transfer cable which I need and is worth about $40 by itself. Anyways I contacted that seller to see if they will mark it as gift and for cheaper on the customs form so that I dont have to pay duties. If they cant is that something you do for more expensive items?

goomba478

12-16-2008, 01:22 PM

ahh okay yeah I totally didn't realize you needed the transfer cable. That's a good point and one I hadn't thought about. Let me know how it goes ^_^

12-16-2008, 05:54 PM

Winnipeg, I sent out your 2 pairs of headphones with 2 day delivery. I will send you the bill later. I know you wanted it on time so I shipped it right away to make the deadline. They said they could get there as soon as tomorrow which is pretty crazy fast. You'll definitely have it by Friday though (it's guaranteed). Thanks again! Gotta go now, I'll be on later :)

Not to take any business away from you Goomba, but for the Canadian CAGs, Estarland ships to Canada and it is only a few more dollars more then shipping to the US, so it is cheaper ordering it yourself. It takes about 8 days to recieve the parcel. I have ordered from them several times and I always get the stuff within 10 days and I never get charged duty.

goomba478

12-16-2008, 09:27 PM

It's all good zeze. I am not out to cheat anyone. If it's cheaper to buy directly from them by all means do so :) I'm here to try and make a few dollars but not at the expense of others. Good to know! Many sites do overcharge to Canada though which is where I can come in. Or, if a person is already ordering from me then sometimes combining shipping on orders still may be cheaper than directly buying from certain retailers...

oh and Winnopeg, glad you got the shipping confirmation. I have never shipped Global Express like that so it took me almost an hour to pack lol. There were so many forms I had to fill out and crazy hoops to jump through. Glad it worked out though. Please let me know when you get it :) I'll send that bill tonight I promise.

Goomba, how long have BF Packages been taking?
You shipped both of mine on the 12th, do I have a shot of seeing them this Friday?

goomba478

12-17-2008, 01:28 AM

They have been varied quite a bit. Average has been about 7 days...so yeah it's very possible you'll get them Friday (I hope). For those of you who didn't receive your packages or shipment confirmation I want to let you know I only have about 5 still going out and most will go out tomorrow. A few of the items were delayed on Amazon's end, some packages needed time for extra items from Rosenqueen, eStarland, etc. and the rest are just in queue. Nearly there :) Thanks for bearing with me. You know I'm usually shipping out next day. Black Friday is by far the exception to the rule ^_^;;;

goomba478

12-17-2008, 02:46 AM

Excellent Magiic! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for the feedback :) The Ribbon DS got to him relatively fast (mailed out 12/5/2008 - 11 days?). Seems par for the course. Not bad being only a week before Christmas I'd say. Hopefully the rest of the packages get up there quickly as well.

12-17-2008, 09:01 AM

Wow, if that reserve is excluding boxing day spendings, you must be hella rich... *cries looking at bank updates*

It's just bucket savings from two years ago (I just put all my change in this water cooler thing and it got full so I ripped it out this Xmas), and I wish I was hella rich, wouldn't have to spend 35 hours a week telling parents that I'm out of Wiis, Wii Fits, and Wii Guitar Hero and that I don't know when we're getting any more and I don't know if any other stores have them.

kathos, I have a TON of stuff from Black Friday still as well as my normal games in stock. I just spent almost 20 hours this week (yes .... 20 hours) re-organizing my office/stock/house and I'm nearly done now. By the end of the week I will be posting photos of nearly all my stock and then you can see if any of it interests you. I'm scared to calculate how much I spent on all this stuff. It's just so much...

The good news is that once I finish all this cleaning, packing, shipping and all I can get back to bringing GamesForCanada.com out of beta. God knows that's been a long time coming. There's just so much to do :)

-------------

danthemightyone, good news! Your other Rosenqueen Box came in! I have to run through the list to make sure everything is in there, but you're about to receive a TON of great stuff...so don't feel too bad :) Out of all the orders this Black Friday I think I envy your items the most to be honest. They look so cool (especially the Prinny items!)

Excellent :D I look forward to it, I don't need more games but game paraphernalia is always welcome.

goomba478

12-17-2008, 01:20 PM

Yeah kathos, God knows I have a lot of other gaming-related trinkets to go along with the games themselves :) Once I finish all the custom direct request orders I will be returning back to program the new site, hopefully finishing up ASAP and will start selling off my massive backlog one by one. We can do this ^_^

Thanks for your payment. I can assure you this will probably be the fastest you will ever receive a package from the US lol. That is assuming it works as planned. It's guaranteed though or your money back according to the Post Office, so as long as they don't manage to screw it up we should be good to go. Thanks for your fast payment. Much appreciated!

Not sure if any of you guys are interested, but here's a great deal: Tales of Vesperia (Premium/Special Edition) with Soundtrack CD, 72 Page Full Color Manual and Steel Case game case. Only $56 USD shipped to Canada. I paid almost $85 for my copy a month or so ago....doh!

This game definitely deserves a lot of credit. It's surprisingly fun, actually feels like Mortal Kombat again and introduces all sorts of neat features to the series (as well as DC characters obviously). Can be yours for $45 USD Shipped to Canada.

Amazon's Deal of the Day: Prince of Persia (PS3). Can be yours for $45 USD Shipped to Canada. I feel really bad because I just bought about 5 copies of this, this week and if I knew it was going to drop that much so fast I would have saved a lot of money. Oh well. Don't miss out if you want this game. It's really amazing.

goomba478

12-17-2008, 04:09 PM

Excellent! Thanks Firestorm :) It seems that almost all the Black Friday items are finally getting up there. Sorry it took so long to get specific orders out guys. It's partially the Post Office's fault and partially mine for underestimating the number of orders I'd get. I wish I had a full crew, but alas it is just I a lone Goomba. Once I de-clutter my house completely, sell a lot of my back stock and get more serious about the new site it should go back to normal (next day ship out when I get items). Thanks for being patient!

goomba478

12-17-2008, 06:39 PM

Okay my friends, I'm off to work now. I will be working from 7PM EST to 4AM EST and will be working in the morning at my day job ... so effectively I won't be home again until 5PM EST tomorrow. Busy, Busy, Busy :) Just the way I "like" it.

The good news is that after tomorrow all your orders will have been shipped out (unless they are more recent orders and they have not come in yet). The Black Friday super rush is coming to an end, I have a clean home once again, my office is filled to the brim and I'm having a Super Friday sale this upcoming Friday. Be sure to check that out ;)

You can still send in orders/questions/requests, but I may not respond to them within the usual time frame. Expect at least a few hours before I get back to you. Thanks guys!

12-18-2008, 04:47 AM

I will definitely be making a trinket list. I'm not so sure about the comment about the high school train (a bit creepy haha) but, er ... yeah. Definitely will be plenty of pictures to go around (of games, not high school girls =p). The new site will be text/photo based but this sale will be mostly just photos of the games. Then, if people have questions about a particular title I can respond with text or whatever. Thanks! Be on the lookout Friday ^_^

Arg, the wife nixed the 120gb hard drive, but on the plus side I found out she got me a 60gb hard drive for christmas :)

goomba478

12-18-2008, 04:16 PM

I'm glad to hear that all is well in the killmak household. 60GB is more than enough trust me. I have a 120GB but only currently use maybe 10GB or so. Like Wombat always says in the CAGcast, if you delete the unwanted demos and such you can get a lot more mileage out of those GB. And by the time you DO fill it up eventually chances are there will be a big price drop on the 120 or even bigger HDD. Either that or the Xbox 720 or whatever the next one is called lol.

Thanks goomba! It was cool to see Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery come with pre-order bonus codes!

goomba478

12-18-2008, 07:33 PM

Happy Channukah Azumangaman! Yup, I thought you'd be happy with those pre-order bonus codes ^_^ Glad things are rolling along with everyone's orders. I'd like to think you will all have them before New Years, but I can't tell since holiday shipping seems completely random. *Crosses Fingers*. If not then shortly after anyway :) We are almost caught up!

Remember: Tomorrow is the first ever Friday Super Sale ^_^ I'm preparing for it as we speak :)

12-18-2008, 09:05 PM

goomba478

12-18-2008, 11:53 PM

Winnopeg, that's too bad. Hope you are able to get it tomorrow. It'd be a shame to rush delivery and then miss out on it =p

Azumangaman, you'll be reading all about it tomorrow. The Super Friday Sale is a new thing I'm doing to try and clear out my back stock (and get some much needed cash as well to pay off debts). The idea is much like my Gamecube sale where I just took photos of all my stacks and took in offers. The difference though will be that it will be for all systems and no prices will be listed. It will be first-come-first-serve and all fair offers will be considered.

I am hoping to sell 100 games in 100 hours (or less) as I really need the money right now. Look for it tomorrow! I will post here and on my CAG Blog. Thanks!

Okay yes it is roughly around midnight. I'll be posting it here so you guys get a look at it. Then I will be posting on the CAG Blogs as well tomorrow. Keep in mind I am not listing prices, so it'll be up to you to offer reasonable offers. I'm putting together a page for requests as we speak :)

SUPER FRIDAY SALE PREVIEW! Here goes Nothing (everything?):

Okay guys here's the deal. I am calling this a "Super Friday Sale" because it's quite possibly the largest sale I've ever had. This is what I refer to as a BNoGBN sale which stands for "Buy Now or Goodbye Now" sale...anything that is not sold here is going straight to eBay. What doesn't sell on eBay will go to Goozex/Gamestop/GamesForCanada.com and others.

MY GOAL IS TO SELL 100 Games in 100 Hours (roughly 5 days):

All games are going towards paying down my massive debt. I have so much credit card debt now that I'm almost at the limit where I can't pay minimum payments for some cards (very, very bad). Selling off these items will also help to clear up much-needed space in my newly renovated office area. Please make fair offers. No low-balls.

To request you MUST use this following page. I will not respond to PMs or posts in the forum directly:

http://www.gamesforcanada.com/super-friday-sale.php

I will only respond to offers that are fair, or nearly fair. I can work with you on shipping and all that, but you still must use the form first (please). This is a work in progress so any suggestions are welcome.

Also: New games are obviously new. Most games are used though and in excellent condition. Feel free to ask about condition but realize that nearly all used games are Complete and in near mint condition with the exception of some Gamecube/PS2 games. Feel free to ask in your comments field on the page. I am posting the photos.....NOW

goomba478

12-19-2008, 01:40 AM

PuppetYuber, I don't have time (at the moment) to organize games by system...sorry to say. That's sort of the point of this sale...to clear out all my back stock and make room so I CAN get organized. Some are roughly organized (DS Mostly) but yeah sorry...they were organized in the past but as games came and went I had to move them around in boxes and such and so they got messed up. In the future when I'm all done with my new office they'll be 100% organized. But by then the new site will be launched and they'll be sortable/organized completely. This is to prepare for the new site and all that good stuff. Please buy some stuff :)

Azumangaman

12-19-2008, 01:40 AM

12-19-2008, 01:41 AM

Gamer602, of course not! You can buy individual games lol. I just am being lazy and listing them all at one time in a massive post to make it easier and quicker. Whatever sells will be cleared out and I'll continue this process until everything is gone.

I am giving this sale 100 hours....whatever doesn't sell is going to Goozex/eBay and Gamestop. I will clear out all my back stock, pay off some debt and get this ball-a-rolling once again ^_^ GamesForCanada.com needs this shot in the arm to get started for real.

There's a few there I'm really tempted to get, but I think I'm going to force myself to hold off. I've got enough new games sitting here waiting to be played; if I were to get any of these titles, especially since they're not for the 360 (achievements ftw), I simply would never get to them. I've got ~7 new games in my backlog, and I've never had a backlog before. =/

12-19-2008, 03:52 AM

Damn, I really don't want to blow money on myself before Christmas, but I might fire in some offers. Some quick questions though, that pile of CDs with their spines hidden, for sale? If so is ISBN4-87188-298-5 a FF soundtrack? And is that orange disc at the bottom a ZoE demo (SLPM-61035)? If yes to that, dibs, and are there more Japanese demos in that pile? I'd consider taking any and give you fair prices ;)

goomba478

12-19-2008, 10:58 AM

Wow Ragnar14, you have some really good eyes there lol. It is indeed the Final Fantasy VI (FFIII in US) Soundtrack Set "Original Sound Version" from Japan. I imported it back in 1999 when Kefka's Domain (the US Release) was sold out. That's part of my personal collection but I may be able to get you one if you were interested. Not sure what they go for these days quite honestly. Mine is a bit beat up (box wise) from being played so many times over the years and moved from house to house.

The Orange CD Case is actually an anime soundtrack for "Wedding Peach" sorry to say. Not a ZoE demo. I don't have many Japanese Demos but I do have a LOT of Japanese PS1 games that are all MINT/Complete. I didn't take photos of them for this sale though, though I may sell them in the future (they're my babies though lol). Thanks for looking!

For the record: The Super Friday Sale isn't going so super-ly. I think I'm going to go ahead and list almost all the games on eBay and see how they do there. The ones that don't sell, I'll try and price. I think the "Make an Offer" was a bit too general for this type of sale unfortunately. I did make a couple sales though anyhow which is good :)

By the way it's SNOWING LIKE CRAZY HERE. I just got the night off from working using my "weather day" permitted to me, so eBay it is. List, List, List, List...

Yeah sorry Azumangaman. Those DS games (on the shelf) are actually my own personal collection. I bought them all new and that game in particular I've played less than 2 hours so it's MINT and almost new. ^_^ I appreciate the offer anyhow.

Azumangaman

12-19-2008, 07:19 PM

All DS games are mint ;)
No problem I understand.

goomba478

12-19-2008, 07:53 PM

Yeah well not all DS games are mint (I've got some from trading that were less than great...torn manuals, marker on labels, missing covers, etc) but yes most of my games are MINT or at least NEAR MINT for all intents and purposes. Appreciate the offers though guys. I'm going to list some of the offers on the blog post to see where we stand. I won't use usernames or anything. Some of them I'm starting to list on eBay (ones that have no offers or ones whose offers are honestly way too low). Thanks!

Just in case you guys thought I was slacking off...that isn't even the boxes that I shipped (just the envelope based games) ^_^ I think I am single-handedly keeping my local post office in business these days lol.

Got my headphones today, Goomba, and they are AWESOME. Thanks again! I may be looking for your services after Christmas to get some new foam tips for them.

Excellent news Median, very happy they made it to you so quickly (6 days?). Nice... Happy Holidays to you ^_^ I'll look forward to hearing from you again soon.

I want infinite Undiscovery and Last Remnant but it'd depend on how much.

Feel free to make an offer Lockescythe :) Thanks! I only have one Last Remnant left by the way.

Excellent news PuppetYuber! I believe that all the Black Friday items you guys ordered have been shipped and should be received by you all by the end of the year. I know that sounds slow, but with the sheer volume (almost 100 orders total) that's not so bad :) Also, many of you had added items throughout the month of December making this by far the busiest order month of my entire year. I really do appreciate it ^_^

I'm hoping the CAD rebounds and that we're able to continue the orders because it seems my jobs are really in jeopardy at the moment. My employer sent me home after 20 minutes of work yesterday and there are rumors there may be further lay-offs at both of my jobs. Scary, scary stuff :( I'm not counting on GFC being a full-time job anytime soon, but every order does help. Thanks again for your support!

ya goomba, thanks for everything, definitely appreicate everything you have done for Canadian community.

only if CDN is up to par with USD, I would probably order from you non-stop. USA has a lot better deals on almost everything compare to Canada. Boxing day is coming up, and I have yet to find anything that come close to Amazon.com's black friday deal.

Due to the currency issue and the $10 off Amazon.ca, I have order majority of my games / accessories via Amazon.ca (probably over 20-30 shipments)

Hopefully in the future, soon, CDN will rise back up and I can make my purchase from you in Q2009. (Apparently it is gonna be a big one for gaming too!)

heimdal, I'm absolutely positive things will work out. If there is one thing I am, it's an optimist ^_^ It'll be fine. Just gotta stick to what works and keep doing it...

PuppetYuber, I know for a fact that CAD can't stay this low forever. It's bound to happen that it rebounds (more than likely when gasoline starts going up in price again). I appreciate the kind sentiments :) At least you've gotten a chance to try my services out. I look forward to your future orders as well!

Gooooombaaaa dammiiiiiit I want to buy things please please please answer meeeeeeeeeeeee! Help me help you pay your bills!

goomba478

12-25-2008, 04:20 AM

Kathos I am more than willing to sell you a Final Fantasy VII. I just need to know what you're willing to pay for it. I get about $70-$80 for complete black labels on eBay and around $50-$60 for Greatest Hits ones. I highly doubt you're willing to pay that much (but I could be wrong). Let me know..

mberkes, glad you got it :) thanks!

kathos

12-25-2008, 10:00 AM

Goomba you are wrong :D I'm just seeing what you're selling the rest of that package I told you (with the Zelda and the Persona 2 etc), and I really want those non-Players' Choice (*wretch*) Gamecube games. FFVII I know will command a high price (when has it not), I've been feverishly checking your eBay 'cause you said you'd be posting it up there ~_~.

kathos

12-25-2008, 12:41 PM

Hey Goomba I need your address for the shipment, PM me asap!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone! I just wanted to thank you so much for helping me grow my project to what it's become today. In just 7 months we've grown from 0 all the way up to nearly 200 customers. That's not bad considering the service is all word of mouth ^_^ The new website is still being developed and is just running a bit behind due to Black Friday, the holidays and my crazy work schedule. Thanks again and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Hanukkah!

Happy Boxing Day guys. I'm curious if any of you know the answer to this:

Do Canadian Wii Points Cards work on US Wii Consoles? I know that with MS Points they are not compatible but does anybody know about the Wii? Love to know. Thanks!
Going off the used points cards I have sitting around (probably about a year old), they work in both the US and Canada.

goomba478

12-26-2008, 01:37 PM

Thanks Winnopeg. I was able to confirm from maigoyume as well that his cards say Canada and US...sweet deal! I appreciate the info ^_^ I had no idea about that. Just always assumed Wii points and MS Points were under the same rules. I should have known better =p

Jest

12-26-2008, 03:50 PM

Happy Holidays JJ. I'm sorta late with the greeting so I hope you had a fun holiday and Santa/Hanuka Harry/Non-Denominational Winter Holiday Man brought you what you wanted.

Maybe you can help me... Any of those 13 month XBL cards left?

gamer602

12-26-2008, 03:53 PM

wii points card go as low as $13 here in Canada!
Are you selling them, GOOMBA?

goomba478

12-26-2008, 03:54 PM

lol. I do celebrate Christmas Jest, so thanks! No greeting is ever late :) they're always appreciated. I had a pretty nice Christmas and got to visit both sides of my family for the first time in 7 years (though I only got to see my dad's family for like an hour and not everyone was there) and I even got a few nice gifts this year (mostly gift cards which are always welcome).

I have exactly one XBL Card in stock right now (13 month). It can be yours for $43 USD. Let me know if you want it man :) Thanks! I will send you the code instantly as soon as payment is received ^_^

goomba478

12-26-2008, 03:55 PM

gamer602, yes I am thinking of selling Wii Points here in the US as they seem to be all the rage these days (especially with so many new Wii owners thanks to Christmas). I bought one today from maigoyume and am considering more in the future if you guys can get me good deals ^_^

Let me know! I'm always interested. I'd really like to know about Sony PSN Cards too if you guys sell those :) Thanks!

gamer602

12-26-2008, 04:26 PM

hmm..what do you think is reasonable?
DO you want the code only, or the whole package???

goomba478

12-26-2008, 04:35 PM

Just the codes only. I don't need the actual packaging or anything. I think $13-14 USD is reasonable, given the exchange rate and all ($16-$17 CAD). If you are able to get me codes I wouldn't mind doing an exchange for you for some products from the US and such ^_^ I'm not sure how much of a market there is for Wii codes, but I'd like to get a few to try.

Winnopeg pointed out to me that US iTunes cards also do well in several countries, so I'm looking into those as well. Anyone know if US/Canada share the same iTunes gift cards as well?
