It wasn't a brag.. it was reply to giving me the violin..

This would be a brag.. because it has nothing to do with the thread.. no Amiibo in sight.. doesn't add value to the thread.

Well, all the power to you, but it looks like a compulsive hoarding of new/expensive merch. Are they being sold for a profit or traded for stuff?

 
Everyone who keeps saying you can't get one, it's still up and you CAN add to cart as of 9:14pm EST. Clear your cache!!!

To everyone else who got one, are you suspicious of the free shipping on a $12.96 item?

I don't want to start the cycle of crushed bubble mailers complaints again, but i just hope Walmart employes don't use my amiibo as a soccer ball from now till march 20th... :pray:

I did try that and it still says not available. After clearing my cache I can see the item in my cart but now the item is missing if you do a search on the website.

Well, letting others new pre-orders are open and letting people know they got something on clearance so then they too can see if they can find one, isnt exactly bragging.
Click to expand...
That's not what I said. Confirming you got a pre-order (not letting people know it's open) and showing someone you got something on clearance (again, not letting them know how to get it) is bragging. May be small but it still is.

First and foremost, I'm a gamer and huge Nintendo fan for over 27 years. I have my own amiibo collection, but I have no problem buying a few extras to sell if I yield enough to buy an entire wave (and then some) for myself.

I also have a job that pays me rather well, and am a married father of two. Trust me, I have a life and do other things.

So reddit promoted Pit and Rosalina to Unicorn status? I understand Pit but MK and Lucario was MUCH harder for me to get than Rosalina.

Not a scalper but I resell, but why can't someone be both? Heck, I'm playing Murdered Soul Suspect (thanks HumbleBundle) right now using my Xbox One controller that I bought on CowBoom for $180 (thanks to CAG and SD), using money I got from reselling Call of Duty: Ghost (Target $2 double stacking)... in my dorm that I pay for with reselling. It's all about perspective.

Reselling is fine...I do it. It's easy money.

I must be reading that wrong, an Xbox One controller for $180? Also never heard of CowBoom, interesting.

Its probably due to the Target memo posted awhile back stating Rosalina wouldn't be replenished. There have been reports of another MK shipment next month. TRU stores have also gotten small shipments of Lucarios on a weekly basis.

I love it honestly. Despite what people here may think, we all don't buy out stock and steal candy from babies. I mostly get deals from clearances (so old stuff no one in my area wanted) or by stacking deals. I than sell lower than stores.

I (and other resellers) think of it as you paying us for the service of doing research, waiting in line, driving all over town, etc. Than you still get a great deal by buying say AC: Unity for $35 on eBay as appose to $50 from Target.

I wouldn't say it's easy though but I resell for a living. It's second nature at this point but its a lot of work. Balancing school, research, driving, packaging, taxes, business deals, etc., it adds up. But I love it.

who the hell knows, just take it with a grain of salt because the list is determined by people who take amiibos and their collections way to seriously. I wouldn't be surprised if Rosalina made it up on the list because enough people felt they needed to justify waiting in line for hours for a toy that ended up being the most plentiful of the store exclusives.

 
I am away from home. Mobile site shows the preorder button green, but, never puts one in the cart. :/ (Deleted cache and such.)

Happens all the time, everyone's looking for a person to blame because they couldn't get one or don't have as many as yours. It'll pas and we'll be back to our shit arguments about boxes and how trading is so much better than selling.

 
I dont think I couldnt ever honestly make a living off reselling. How well you do depends to much on what other stores will clearance out etc, You can do as much leg work as you want but there will always be times where they are just no deals to be found to make money off of.

Keep in mind my comment is referring to folks that are posting pictures of stacks of Amiibos...like literally 10s of each figure.

I definitely couldn't make a living off it. Even if I could find the product, I don't feel right about charging people that much more than something originally cost.

Yeah same here. I mean, going into it, I thought Rosa was gonna be a nightmare because of how hard it was to pre-order her. But given her Sunday release and how Target limited it to one per person, I was able to go in just after they opened, buy one and leave, within 15 minutes. Of the store exclusives, I only had trouble with MK and that was probably due to incompetent BBY employees.

And can we please stop posting Reddit shit here? I get that they've been helpful with some things (ie, the Shulk 2nd wave pre-orders), but it seems like they're becoming a huge "speculation" factor. We got enough speculation going on here as it is.

This is too true. Earlier this month I sold all my stock and there were no clearances or deals to get more products to sell. Luckily I made $2k the month before so it wasn't a big deal. I'm a middle tier reseller though. Other resellers that do this full time don't have this problem as they have their hands in a lot of products and sources (computers, clothes, watches | flea markets, good wills, craiglist). I only deal with games and electronics so there are few times in the year where I'm not making money. But so is the life of a reseller.

You're basically describing a generic pay by commission job your realize right?

 
So uh...I came home to two boxes today. I was only expecting one.

As it turns out, Target accidentally sent me two Dedede Amiibos.

Seriously. I only bought one, and my card is only charged for one...the packing slips appear identical. Weird, I wonder how that happened.

Hey if you dont need the 2nd one im sure we can work out a trade :)

 
I would think that with the whole figure being gold it would also be easier to produce more of them since the time to paint them ext.. would be extremely reduced.

Scalper!!!
 
Two things: Was Rosalina really plentiful, or did it just seem that way because Target didn't do pre-orders?

Also, South Jersey amiibo crew, what do I need to do to get one of these golden fucking Mario figurines?

Not trying to get on you, hope it doesn't seem that way. I know it does but that bragging has little difference imo. Its like posting a picture of a store messing up and sending you multiple copies of a game by accident.

If I managed to get 10+ of a rare item, I'd probably show off some pics too.

  • Telling people you managed to get something pre-ordered
  • Confirming you had a trade in accepted
  • Showing us a clearance item you got
Oh wait, none of that is sad. Bragging isn't bad especially when we are all happy when we get a great deal. Some people just get better deals / quantity. Can't hate on one form of bragging and than say its ok for another.

Bragging always got people robbed or neglected where I'm from. Stop trying to make it sound cool....
