Mispriced Phoenix Wright figures in San Mateo, CA

Ichiban-kan in San Mateo is selling the unopened wholesale version of these figures at the same price of the individual figure boxes, $2.50!! Meaning, it's the box that contains 8 figure boxes. As long as the box is not opened you're guaranteed each of the 7 figures. Here are pics for a reference.

The catch is that you need to have this particular old lady ring you up. Yes, she doesn't know any better, but that's the price the barcode reader comes up with on the wholesale box. She tends to work there weekday mornings until 2PM.

Yes, my moral fiber is non-existent.

[quote name='B:L']I got my box yesterday and it was pretty quick considering how late I sent out my payment. ;)[/quote]

When did you send payment?

4/22/08

By mail, meaning he received it prolly around 4/25 or 4/26. And the figures arrived on 5/5.

I'd say that's a reasonable turnaround time.

I'm going to have to do this if he doesn't respond to my PM soon. I really don't want to though.
 
Ok, so here's what I've been able to come up with.

Foolman - I'm really ashamed to say that I accidentally missed your payment record. I have since generated the shipping label and it will go out today. You should get an email notification very soon. If you feel entitled to a minor compensation, let me know.

Scorch - Seeing that the tracking info is null, I'm really puzzled as to what happened. Perhaps it was an error on my part. If it has been returned, I'll let you know tomorrow night, as that's the next time I'll be home. If it doesn't arrive to either your address or mine by Friday, I'll be sure to rectify this some other way.
 
Another day goes by, another day without the figures. I really hate to sound like a douche, but it's been two and a half weeks now. I'm unsure of what to do at this point.

I paid on 4/22, he received it on 4/22. I'm happy that you got your figures, though. Like I said, I'm hoping they come in tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
 
Received today! Yay! My faith has been restored in trading.

And he did indeed ship when he said he did (5/2), don't know why it took a week to get here, but it's here! All those that were skeptical, just give it time.. yay!
 
I bet you could remix Scorch's comments into one hell of a techno song if you looped some drums in the background and had a voice vocoder, along with some echo effects and chiptunes.

You must be really, really bored, but that was hilarious! :rofl:
 
[quote name='Scorch']You must be really, really bored, but that was hilarious! :rofl:[/quote]

And thus the Scorch-roll was borne.
 
Haha, wow. I'm glad this was taken in the way I intended it to be - as a gigantically stupid and nerdy joke. I was afraid that - as text on the Intermotrons lacks tonal quality - it would be seen as nothing more than a jackass condemnation of Scorch's posts.

So that's reassuring.

As to whether or not I'll try to turn it into a song? .... Well, perhaps. I'll of course update in here as necessary should that come to pass.

Good to know people found this amusing. :]
