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

[chrisnsally]

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?

[chrisnsally]

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)

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

[Demix500]

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

[chrisnsally]

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

[rmb]

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.

[Capitalizt]

I think this is a great idea.

[devildr1ver]

Saw:

Jeane D Arc (quite a few)
FFxi (about 4 copies)

both are going for $14.98

[spamfree2]

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

it should only be done by people with at least 20+ feedback give or take

[Tybalt Flux]

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.

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

[shrike4242]

No, this won't be stickied.

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

[v|_@mé]

x360 - crackdown - $19 shipped
PSP - Darkstalkers Chronicle The Chaos Tower - $13 shipped
Wii - Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law - $22 shipped
DC - Ikaruga (RSG 2) - $90 shipped
DS - Phoenix Wright Justice for All - $25 shipped

[chrisnsally]

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

[JJSP]

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. :)

[Scarface7]

Saw at Target tonight:

Halo 2 ~ $13
Viva Pinata PH ~$13
Marvel UA X360 ~$18 (could use coupon to get < $10)

PM me if you want any of these. Would only ask cost + shipping/paypal.

[devildr1ver]

Viva Pinata $9.98
Can't recall others

Cost + shipping/paypal

[genfuyung]

This would be a great thread for the penny guides. I only have one best buy that has a few every now and then. I cant ever get a hold of the ones anywhere else. Ill definitely contribute to this thread next time I see something.

[homeland]

[chrisnsally]

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!)

[withered]

I can get out TH: Proving Ground, Children of Mana, Chocobo Tales for 15 each if anyone's looking for them. (Have to check store again though for stock.) Also open to trades.

[chrisnsally]

My TRU has a bunch of Metal Gear Solid 3's behind the counter for $5. Not sure how many...but they've been there forever!
