I am interested as well. As for the price model for what you charge, the percentage thing is a bit overcomplicated and well what you get should be based on how much work you put in it, so if you're shipping a 20$ game you should get as much as if you're shipping a 60$ game. A better price model would be 2$ flat rate and then 1$ for each extra game.

SCAM!
GET OUT!
SCAM!

No, I'm joking. I'm interested, but I'll have to hear some success stories (or not so successful) stories first.

dave17, you're absolutely right. I also think it should be effort over price. I don't care if you want to go ahead and order a $200 game if it's just in a normal DVD case. I don't see why I should charge you extra for that, but if you are ordering Steel Battalion or something with the full controller that needs an extra large box, etc. then that's a different story

So for now I stick by my $2 flat fee charge plus actual costs. I think it's very fair for everyone.

As for you Azumangaman...I'm absolutely not a Scam artist. I know you were half-joking but I'm at least half-offended. No problem ^_^ I assure you that you'll have lots of happy success stories soon. I stick by my services and am very honest. Wait say a week or two and I guarantee you'll have some happy Canadians =)

just wondering, will you order off buy.com w/ google checkout?

Yeah, the second I posted that (it was 110% joke, by the way), I realized that your rep for everything is really high...lol.

maigoyume, I can definitely order from Buy.com but I won't get a discount for using Google Checkout unfortunately as that's only your first order. I can order from basically any website you find as long as it is a well known site and trusted. Offers such as Google Checkout and such though tend to be one-time use things which don't really carry over well for this sort of thing.

If you find a site that gives discounts for multiple uses of Google Checkout and the like though let me know, I'd definitely go for that

Azumangaman, no problem I know you were kidding. Just be careful Character assassination is something I would rather stay away from ^_^ Like you said, I have a pretty good reputation and I'd like to improve upon that rather than start the ball rolling the other way =P

even if i provided you with alternate email addresses? or is that too much trouble?

maigoyume, I could definitely do that for you if you had a Google Checkout account that was linked to a credit card of yours. Unfortunately, I can't set up proxy accounts for this type of service as I want to stay out of any grey areas and want to avoid trouble with merchants/Google Checkout/etc. Let me know what you mean though about providing me with alternate Email addresses though I'm curious.

the thing with my credit card is it only allows people with a US address to create accounts, as long as you use a diff email address each time you'll be eligible for google checkout, a friend of mine used it about 10 times before they caught on, but since they "flagged" her, she can't use the discount anymore

Edit: credit card that you use also needs to be the same as your mailing address, hence the reason why i am unable to get it myself

i am definitely interested, there have been a lot of good offers ive missed out on from amazon.com and other US sales

Absolutely DoubleStop. Our economy may be in the gutter right now, but there sure are enough deals and offers for us Americans...there's no shortage of that. With gas going up, up and up I'm sure more people will be shopping from home anyway which means in theory the online deals will just get better and better. Let me know if there's anything you need!

Nooo... this means I have to go browse the U.S. deals which means I'll be spending more time and money.

Goomba: CAG Canada's Amerifriend.

Lone_Prodigy: Yup, I know I'm going to single-handedly try to re-vitalize the American economy by pulling in some much needed Canadian currency ^_^

Oh and I've registered "GamesForCanada.com" I'm going to try and make a website that'll streamline a lot of my policies and stuff. It'll make it a lot easier I think and take out a lot of the guess work =) So look forward to that in the next few weeks (I have to throw something together). Since I'll be doing all the ordering for the most part though I don't have to do anything too fancy just yet ^_^

Just looking out for you guys. =) I like the Amerifriend term hehe. Never heard that one.

you should make it your CAG username title

Maigoyume, I'm curious what game or item was it on Buy.com that you were interested in? I'm going to look into your idea about the Google Checkout and make sure it won't get me into trouble. Just let me know what item it was you wanted ^_^ So I can do the research...

luminous arc, i just can't swallow the MSRP on it, and saving 33% is always good as far as i know its not illegal, but i havent' actually looked up on it much

I want to make sure though because I just had my Google Checkout account terminated this week for not knowing all of the rules. My mom had sent me $100 towards my trip to China and she had in the subject "Money for your China Trip" and Google thought that I was illegally selling airplane tickets (which is a violation of their policies). Because of that they closed my account. I explained what happened to them and they re-opened my account but told me that I was on "special watch" and that they would be monitoring my account closely.

I just don't want to jeopardize my account I will try to find out though for you and get back to you ASAP ^_^ Thanks.

not a problem, i wouldn't want to cause you to lose your account just because of me, thanks in advance

This sounds like a fantastic idea, thanks for helping us out Goomba. I'll definitely contact you if I need something.

where are you located goomba?
