View Full Version : The "I Saw Tons of Copies. Hey, pick me up one?" Thread

So I'm thinking this might be of use to the forums - I was at Target yesterday and saw about 87 copies of the GC version of the last Zelda game for twentysomething bucks. Not a great deal, but they had TONS - and it got me thinking...how about we have a thread where large quantities of clearance games are listed - and we set a fixed price w/ shipping for those kind enough to offer to pick some up for other CAGs.

Here's the proposal:

Price of game (after tax) + shipping + a small 'travel' fee.

I'm not suggesting anybody make a big profit off this stuff - this really should be more of a "CAGs stick together - you scratch my back, I've got yours!" kind of system. And if you're making one trip to pick up 5-10 copies, that 'travel' fee gets diluted.

Comments? Suggestions?

I'll start it off - Target in Woburn, MA had the following:

~6 copies of NBA '08 for the PS3 for $14.99
~25 copies of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princes for GC for $25ish (can't recall)

Lets also propose people abuse the $5 off toy coupons or the $10 off xbox 360 games.

and i would be interested in folklore/ninja gaiden sigma/orange box if anyone sees those on clearance ditto

sounds good - and let's keep requests off - this is really the "I saw game X, anybody want one" thread - not a request thread...

This is pretty much what the master trades...trade your ____ thread is for. No one really uses those much though. I wouldn't mind this being stickied.

This is a great idea but I think people should be cautious with the recent scamming episodes.

I request a sticky for tihs- this is such a good idea that it should go in the Master List with the other big lists.

Also, just PM people if they have an item you want, instead of replying. Just to keep things less cluttered.

I'll do my part to keep things less cluttered by ending this post now ;p.

No, this won't be stickied.

It's also moved to the Master Trade Lists forum, where it belongs.

i guess if it won't be stickied, folks could always give it a good rating - that helps, doesn't it?

BTW - here's a perfect example (included quantities, too!):

Saw:

7 Wii Wheels For $5 A Piece, Will Pick Up For CAGs But Shipping 3 Of Them Cost $10.

Virtua Fighter 5 For PS3 $15, Will Pick Up For CAG For $20

The Darkness For PS3 $17, Will Pick Up For CAG For $22

This is a great idea - I did this when Elebits was clearanced, and it worked out great.

Hope to see good things out of this thread. :)

About a dozen Zelda:TP for GC. $12.48. W/ gas and shipping, would send out for $17 each if a couple folks are interested. Paypal upfront. (Assuming they have any left, of course!)

Update: Somebody cleared them out...suck!

Shipping + paypal fee + "gas it takes to drive to wherever+ for my time" bumps the games up to prices beyond those obtainable elsewhere.

I would like to get "The Ship", upc 00187124000564 from the Target clearance. They have been discarded at my local Target stores, anybody else still have them?

Price point I am looking for is $2.48 + tax + shipping. May be interested in getting 2 to 4 copies.

PM me if you have/have seen this at your Target at this price.

Thanks

One my TRUs has had around five copies of :ps2: GUN in their clearance bin at $5 for awhile now. I picked up one, but that's about it.

Another has around ten copies of :ds: Soul Bubbles at $10. With the DS sale, I wouldn't be surprised to see these going, but still.

I could sell GUN for $12 and Soul Bubbles for $15, after tax, gas/time, and shipping. You would have to send payment via PayPal before I ship, but after I pick them up of course.

PM me if interested.
