CAGiversary!
I won the "Touching Is Good" contest several weeks ago. I assumed my DS would arrive sometime this week. I got an email this morning. It'll be shipped next week... 
I had several games sitting on my desk and no way to play them... 
Anyway, I had to make a return at Target, so I thought I'd stop by Electronics and see if they had any, and just ebay the other one when it finally arrives. Not only did they have some, the free Mario 64 DS deal was still on. I thought it had expired, but I wasn't about to complain. So the girl gets on the radio looking for the discount barcode. It takes about 3 minutes, and she apologizes the whole time.
She starts scanning items, gets the pre-tax total to 179.98. She scans the barcode, but it doesn't work correctly. She tries again, and I wasn't paying particular attention... The total pops up: $129.30!!!! That's a pre-tax total of $120!!! Based on my receipt, she scanned the DS and the coupon only, and the discount got applied to the DS. What a score! I had to hold my breath not to laugh. How could she not realize after she rang it up the first time? I guess it must've been a long day.
I'm now going to return the pre-owned copy of Mario I bought from EB and sell the DS that I won when it arrives.
I'll post another thread if I decide to sell it online. I think it might be time to get started with ebay and PayPal. I'll probably give some sort of a free shipping deal or something to CAGs, because I imagine 0 feedback on ebay would be something of a burden. Hopefully I've established at least a little bit here.
That's my story. I still can't believe getting such an unexpected deal. The best ones real do just seem to fall into my lap. Keep your eyes peeled in the next few weeks if you've been looking to save a few bucks on a sealed DS...
