No, your math is still completely wrong. Fine. Let's include the shipping. I feel like I'm teaching a 2 year old.

$49 sale price + $2.99 shipping = $51.99 final paid price by customer

Ebay and PayPal fees of 12.9% on $51.99 = $6.71

$51.99 - 6.71 = $45.28

Now pay the shipping ... -$2.50 = $42.78 FINAL AMOUNT





Now to the cost:

$47.99 * tax. Let's assume ~$4.



$52 purchase price - $42.78 =


Drum Roll...


You paid $9.22 for your mario amiibo, and did the work of selling it and shipping it. If you value your time of all that you did at <$4. Well, yea....

No reason to be defensive. Your math is just way off.

Not to mention the cost of a bubble envelope tape etc must factor that in unless you get it for free.
 
lol Someone left a gold mario amiibo in the toy section along with a DDD. Grabbing them both, thank god.

My guess?

1. Employee trying to save it for later.

2. Someone didn't have the money at the moment so they was hiding while they drive home to break their piggy bank.

 
From GameStop, I bought a Mega Man for my nephew. The employee there said that some amiibos are getting "re-releases", and that is why there were a ton of Mega Mans and Sonics.

 
Had to stop by my local Target and they had a full assortment of the Super Mario assortment. Plenty of each, including Toad.

Definitely grabbing Toad at some point. Maybe a Luigi too since his Smash amiibo isn't the greatest. I see these pegwarming though.

If you are the one getting the Amiibos id say go for it. You could sell the Amiibos and buy another complete LE more than likely.

I believe so, I think it is a 2 week period? might want to wait until tomorrow just in case it is 1 week

Its 14 days, sometimes it 30 days depending on what your buying. My Amiibos shipped out a few days ago so once I receive them I will take the receipt to Target and get the difference put back on my card. I ordered three amiibos(Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser) will also buy Luigi since it wasnt available for pre order on Target's web site..already have Toad coming from Walmart along with the gold amiibo

I'm thinking something along the lines of "Silver Mario Playbook"?

Or

"Fantastic (insert exclusive store name here)"
"Rise of the Silver Mario"

I've got a question.   I'm looking to get Rosalina, and according to Brickseek, there's one about 7 miles away that has 5 in stock.   Should I call and make sure, or should I just go look?

Chances are the instock checker is wrong and there are none. According to brickseek there are 2 stores near me that have 3 villagers each.

 
Yeah, I was thinking that might be the case.   I've got a Japanese one coming from Amazon.  Was only $35.86.  I figured that wasn't too bad.   And I'm gonna open it anyway.

 
I'd say its okay to call, you NEVER call when its a low inventory clearance, that special deal you don't want the employee to know about. The whole not calling thing derives from that idea that the associate will realize whats in their hands at the time and would buy it from under you. Possibility they could come back and tell you no just to keep it.

In this case im sure the employees there already know what they have and would have picked it over before it hit the floor. What I do, I don't EVEN ASK for the item itself, I go, "Hi, If I give you a DCPI can you tell me if the item is in stock?" Then they should come back and say "Yeah looks like we have 5" then at that point you can either say "Can you possibly verify that for me?" or just head on out.


I personally think you are putting way to much thought into a 7 mile drive. Just go, you might obtain more in the trip, some of the best finds start with "I randomly stopped into......."

inventory checker for brickseek annoys me tells me they are in stock i call up to find out its wrong any other reliable sites or programs to look up amiibo's?

 
Anyone spot a DDD at Walmart? I found one and they wouldn't sell it to me because it wasn't in their system or whatever. It's so freaking bizarre.

brickseek is the best one I've seen so far.

Many times the stock is just wrong on the stores end. Maybe the item was stolen, is missing somewhere in the store or the cashier didn't ring the items up correctly.

 
Rumor: Bowser misprint may have affected supply due to Nintendo recall.

My thoughts is that most likely a scalper bought a bunch at one time and the cashier just rang up one of the amiibo instead of ringing each one up separately. Or, because we are really only looking up the 'rare' ones maybe an employee or customer hard on cash just stole it.

Either way, it's most likely a problem that either Target or Walmart has to fix in their system. Brickseek just reports it for the most part. They are pretty reliable and seem to update quick. I know when a local Target showed one Captain Falcon in stock, I went over there, bought the last one and checked the inventory when I got home to find it at zero. I work at a Target and we had a problem with a lone Marth showing up in the system, the instocks team changed the count to zero and it ended that problem.
