Band Hero Complete Bundle Toys R Us Pick Up Only $9.98 :O

[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']So it's NOT ok for someone to grab multiples of a deal for profit, but it's ok for you to grab multiples for friends or to tell them about the deals and have them go and grab them and possibly deprive someone else from CAG(or another...ya know..."real gamer") of getting in on that deal?

You know what that makes you? A hypocrite(just like me;)). Do as I say, not as I do. As for pulling seniority on an internet forum, that's just too funny. Internet is serious business.:lol:[/QUOTE]
Yes, that's right. You really think it's ok for people to buy 10 copies of a game and then go sell them to make some money. You think that's helping the video game industry or the economy at all?

Getting deals for friends is completely different that treating this site and these deals like your own personal business venture. Also, you guys are taking away games from people who just want one copy to enjoy and play the game rather than try to screw other people out of an opportunity.

Think about it this way: We have to sell these games in order to make money, don't we? Who is going to buy these games? GAMERS. Meaning that people who just want one copy to enjoy and play the game still get to play it (albeit at a higher, profitable to us price ;)) We are actually making these titles more available to others through the powers of the Internet, on eBay and Amazon. It never ceases to amaze me all the whining I see from people who are anti-flippers, whose arguments fall very quickly when you see a little logic from the flippers point of view.

Stores don't give a crap if they sell 20 to one person or one to each of 20 people. As long as they sell their old inventory(which this is) they're happy enough to recoup some little bit of money from that sale.
 
None within 50 miles of me :( I could actually use a set since I just switched back to Xbox and got rid of all my stuff for Ps3.

Wouldn't copies sold in the store help out the video game industry? I imagine it helps much more than used game sales and trades. Which I'm pretty sure is one of the dedicated forums on here.

Flippers are only fed by people willing to pay those prices. So the blame goes two fold. And from what I've seen, people tend to have different ideals and personalities, so it's hard to stop the problem on a public forum dedicated to buying games we love at a low price.
 
[quote name='Ja7Red']This would actually be a shock after striking their deal for exclusive Skylanders.[/QUOTE]

They don't need to sell games to sell the Skylanders figures.
 
I bought a ps3 warriors of rock kit for $9.98 in store, the cashier didn't seem that surprised about the price. I'm looking forward to using the drums since when using rock band drums with guitar hero games, the note charts arent that great so it will nice to use the regular note charts.
 
no store within 40 miles has it here. That's good though, don't want to get accused of being a thief again lol
 
Is the PS2-Band Hero included in this?The TRU near me had a stack of them covered in dust.I didn't even know they made this for the PS2.
 
[quote name='MrshllJcb']I have no problem with your beliefs, just the fact you think everyone must feel the same way. [/QUOTE]
Obviously you feel that way too or his comments wouldn't bother you. Before you post how you don't care what he says understand: by replying you made it clear you do care. Personally I like to think there is some middle ground between both points of view. That is I think you can flip some things without being a jerk, but that seems to elude most around here.
I thought I saw a bunch of these at my local TRU. I snagged an AC:B for $9.98 earlier this week. I will have to go back and check.
 
[quote name='Romeo']So you're not here to catch deals but screw real gamers for you to flip a profit?

If so, banhammer.[/QUOTE]

Actually I bought one for myself because I needed a new set along with that one. So whatever. Someone asked about it earlier. Hustling is in the name. I'm positive you bought something and flipped it for a profit. Moving on..

People are bitching wayyyy too much in this thread about flippers. Lots of CAG's flip stuff, big deal. Obviously you think your morals should apply to everyone, well I hate to break it to you but not everyone believes what you do about flipping games. Some of us pay for our cheap ass games by buying up a bunch of them and selling them. It's a great way to cover the cost.

If you think that a flipper is buying up your opportunity to get a game then you're wrong. YOU'RE making you miss the opportunity by not getting off your ass in time.
 
I'm steering clear of this deal. Won't even get 1 for myself. I heard this company closed down. A TrU employee mentioned they closed down a year and a half or so ago.

Do NOTTTTT get this to flippppp!!!!!! Now, YOU KNOW and like Frisky's signature reads... "You read it. You can't unread it."

Any of these big bundles by them.
 
[quote name='MrshllJcb']Man, just shut up and stop crying about it, its not gonna make anyone stop and you sound like a whiny baby. Just get to the stores earlier to beat flippers, or do it yourself. I flip and use the extra cash for non gaming items; I paid for my newborn's crib and all her bedset and still haven't paid outta pocket for diapers, so if u think whining on here is gonna stop people you're wrong and you should use that time for find good flips to earn some extra cash instead of complaining here[/QUOTE]

Damn this has got to be the saddest thing I have ever read. Actually pathetic. The time and effort you use flipping could be spent getting a higher education learning a trade etc etc. Instead you flip so you can provide for your child? Your priorities are backwards and sad. I am sure that when your child gets older they will have this great example you are setting on how to provide and better themselves...NOT. Imagine what you could REALLY do for you and your family if you applied that energy into something positive and longrun. You can do better for you and yours.

Yes, we should all teach our children to spend maximum money on items, never worry about saving... You know, teach them to be socialists instead of capitalists. I'll teach my kid to leverage what he has to get things that he wants. I'll teach him to buy low and sell high... and I'll teach him that lazyasses get shit on and the people who get off their asses and go out to get what they want are the ones that succeed in the long run.

I'll be the guy that has the bumper sticker "My kid just doubled his money in the stock market in 6 days. Your kid wasted his allowance on a pack of gum."

Damn you are an idiot. It figures you would not get what I said at all. The moron I was responding to is exactly how people look at flippers. Fat stupid sloppy people with no trade no real job. The best they can do for their child or themselves is to roll their loser ass off the couch to go flip for low wages (wages lol what a joke) so they can buy diapers. people with ambition and real skills don't flip to provide...why? Because a real job a real life provides much much more than flipping. The poster has no ambition obviously and their lack of it and an education is no ones fault but their own You see when you have a kid you want to set an example and part of that is to get a real damn job and if an education is necessary for that then do that to. successful people, people with ambition don't flip as it is a waste of valuable time that can be spent getting an education or promotion or another job real money etc etc etc.

The poster put it out there that they are a loser and can't be more constructive and productive.

If they had said they do it as a small hobby because they are bored or for entertainment then that is something else but that is not what they said. They do it to get diapers. Sad and pathetic and the example people see and use to determine their view on flipping and flippers... no life morons without the drive to do something more.

edit: what the hell was that stupid last line about the stock market you posted? The truth is teaching a kid to hoard and flip video games is in no way giving them the example that education determination and a career can provide and be rewarding. It is video game flipping and it doesn't teach them anything about the stock market or real business. It teaches them nothing!! Your line and point is retarded.

Me I will put that bumper sticker on my car as my child is an actual go getter. You and the other poster can put the sticker "my child squeaks by on video game flipping and has no education life or ambition"
 
Middlemen have always been a scourge on society, what's new?

It just sucks that I'm forced to pay out the nose for RB instruments on Amazon/Ebay because some no-life "flipper" beats me to the sale, buys up all the stock, and marks up the price...all while providing no extra value whatsoever.

You can't properly punctuate a sentence, but I'm the idiot. That's rich.

So, there are only about 3 people on this site that know what I do for a living, but I can bet that I double your earnings yearly. I'm currently finishing my Master's in Project Management. I flip for fun. The other user said nothing at all about flipping for a living... I, too, have flipped to get things that I needed at Amazon. Why not? If I can buy a $10 game using credit and flip it to Amazon and make $25 in about 5 minutes, why wouldn't I use it to buy stuff I need? What, we're supposed to restrict flipping profits to video games only? That's idiotic.

How about you work on the first bumper sticker for your child - "I learned all I know from my dad. So, do you want fries with that or not?"

These were gone a long time ago. None of my TRU stores have had stock in any band or guitar only sets since they did that $10 sale months back.

Actually when I was younger my dad did sell stuff on the side besides his real job. So if anything, he taught me at a young age to look for opportunities to make more money. But if I can parlay that into a full time venture that makes me a comfortable income without having to deal with self absorbed co-workers, being on a strict schedule or having to adhere to a dress code that's so stringent it takes away my individuality then I'm all for it.

This right here is what usually causes the mods to step in and nuke half a thread of posts, since people almost always resort to namecalling regarding flipping/flippers. Funny thing is, it's usually coming from the anti flipping crowd, but yet many times the posts complaining about flippers are left while the flipping posts are eradicated.

As for the real job thing, again I mention that this isn't 1950 and people are not constrained to the antiquated definition of what a 'real job' is. For proof of that you only need look at eBay powersellers and their tens of thousands in feedback. They disprove the tired and redundant line about reselling not being a 'real job'.

But hey, if you wanna work your ass off for your entire life and make someone ELSE rich, then please continue on your current career path. I'll continue trying to make myself rich by selling items to people that can afford to pay a premium and do so without complaining about it.
 
Bejeezus guys. The length of time you guys put into this thread you could have flipped or purchased a few games!

To the cheapest gamer dude. A "real job" imo is one that contributes to society and is rewarding on many levels and requires some skill and brain power. Flipping is not a real job.

Try telling house flippers that flipping isn't a real job. But to say that flipping doesn't take brain power or some skills is absolutely ludicrous. You have to check the value of games for trade-in and where you'll get the most for them. Then cross check what those games might get on the open market where you'll get cash for them as opposed to just store credit. Believe me, I spend a bunch of time processing every possibility BEFORE I just blindly dump them to places like Best Buy.

As far as not contributing to society, I assume you mean by paying taxes in on the money earned? People who sell massive amounts of items for thousands each year on eBay and Amazon have to give their tax ID once they reach a certain plateau. So those resellers most certainly do contribute. But for game flippers, since it's usually store credit you're getting it's a whole other story.

Can you guys please stop arguing about flipping? Didn't you see that Activision closed down a year and a half ago! Lives are at stake here.
 
I bought a set from tru/best buy pm over a year ago and the plastic around the wires for the drum set crumbled apart, had to return it. Doesn't age well but probably worth $10.
 
I just bought 10 of these. Romeo and Plikwhathisname, wanna buy them? $50 a piece plus shipping. Then you can give them to your Game TZ buddies ;) [joking...sadly I didn't get any]

Game TZ is full of trolls, trashy people, and plenty of *gasp* flippers. They're HORRIBLE to newbies. There are good traders there, of course, but let's not pretend it's some end-all haven for gamers. It has plenty of problems. It IS great for trading, I've been there for years now myself. The "Find of the week" thread is 90% about people buying cheap stuff from yard sales/ craigslist with the intention of reselling.

I did successfully flip The Beatles RockBand Premium when TRU dropped it to $50. I got $150 + shipping, just sold it less than a month ago. I hadn't tried to sell it until then. But yeah, it was a pain to ship. I don't think these would flip anywhere near as well.

The best flipportunity© was the Best Buy B2G2 free sale. Even the B2G1 sales have provided some really easy results for me. Sales have really fallen off in the last two weeks, which leads me to believe that people have blown their refund checks now.

I was able to use the money to pay to build up my own collection and still have some left over. And I saw first hand how someone would parlay it into a career if they wanted.

I have to laugh at people who have a problem with flipping merchandise. I've got a friend just like that. Every store you've ever shopped at regularly sells things for more than they paid for them. It's kinda how business works, yet I bet these same complainers have no trouble giving their money to big businesses. How do you think local video game stores are able to exist? Many small businesses will buy clearance items from big businesses and resell for profit.

Nobody is forcing someone to pay the marked up price. My buyers left me positive feedback and were happy to have their games. They didn't ask/care what I paid for the things I was selling. I also don't really care what someone paid when I buy something, outside of perhaps curiosity. It's irrelevant. What matters is what the customer is willing to pay.

BTW my two local TRUs didn't have any of these. I didn't check specifically for them, but I had checked for the Saint's Row 3 platinum edition a few days ago and I know they didn't have any big gaming peripherals. It wouldn't surprise me at all of TRU gets out of gaming. I personally rarely see deals that interest me there anyhow. In nearly 5 months since I've been buying again, I've only seen one deal I cared about, which was Rayman Origins for $20, which I just got price matched at Best Buy.

I'm gonna have to call bullshit on this. If your son has a phd, that means he's, at least, in his 30's... You have 2 masters (which you obviously didn't get after your injury, since you can't effectively write), but went out to the desert as a grunt and got caught by an I.E.D.?

So you want me to believe you're a 50+ year old disabled vet with 2 genius kids (at least one of which is well into his 30's), who spends his time on a cheap game website, butthurt because someone flipped a $10 copy of Band Hero? I don't think so. Either that's the craziest true shit I've ever heard or you're lying. If you're lying about being a disabled vet, that's lower than low.
 
And here I thought the portal gun replica was going to be the anti-flipping thread of the week, but BAM this one friggin soars into the lead. It has everything:

Insulting parents
Telling them their children are going to be low lives
Flipping burgers
Mensa
& disabled vets

I really hope the mods don't close/delete this thread.

Now everyone, tell me what you really think... Captains of Industry or Robber Barons?

How could this be pathetic? I work 5 or 6 days a week and am in classes for HVAC/R 3 nights a week (learning a trade). I flip to make a little extra and so I can provide my daughter with the things I didn't have growing up, so I don't feel bad about it at all. If I made a shitton of money at my job id probably stop flipping, but as of right now I don't so I use it to supplement my income (I guess I could be selling coke for extra cash but id rather not). You speak about things you have no idea about, but id imagine your a naive teen or an adult who was born with a silver spoon

You are so full of shit its not even funny. What's more pathetic than anything else? Lying on an online forum about your imaginary family and lying about being and injured vet

And I'm sorry for keepin a dead thread going, I just felt the need to respond to someone insulting me and my family
