[quote name='Monroeski']Personally, I think the strength of these type of sites is finding good deals that not many people know about yet. The more sites that post these deals, the less a chance I have of getting in on them.
Even CAG has become a victim of its own success in many ways imo, but I've found that I still have a great chance of picking up a deal if I see it posted here. Once something is up on FW or SD, I pretty much kiss it goodbye.[/quote]
I just posted this in another thread as well
I know im still a Noob here, and not sure if i should actually make a new thread for this but for the past week since i became a member, ive spent many of hours reading through several 100 pages of posts mostly on 360 games and Dvd's.
What I'm curious about is seeing that most of the time during the sale, that the stores become OOS in multiple locations, and people are calling/driving all around their city's and surrounding areas on a small hope that they might actually get lucky and nab one. Such as the case in this instance, and only then maybe being able to pick up 1 or 2 copies.
Just curious since if its an advertised special somewhere, PM stores will usually call and check if its in stock at that other store, so what im wondering is y more CAG's dont utilize my suggestion (and maybe its been mentioned or done b4, sorry didnt search) and post good quality scanned receipts (never had a PM store call the other store if i walked in with a receipt) as soon as someone is able to jump on the deal. That way if were to sell out, another person could go into any other store in their area that does PM and have them honor the deal. and pick say 5 copies instead of none or maybe the last copy on the shelf at the sale store.
really in most cases the only issue i c is that the receipt prob wont match the city or state that your in, but i highly doubt that most PM stores would look at the receipt close enough 2 notice or care.. or maybe even photoshop or white out the address completely, so only the store name is visible. anyone with a little knowledge could do this easly in a matter of minutes.
I just figured it might increase the amoung of CAG's that actually are able to get in on the deal's, rather than getting frustrated of always being "a day late or a dollar short"
Hell it cant be any worse than people getting a killer deal somewhere else and going into walmart without a receipt and getting full value, and then buying the game of there choice for essentialy the sale price of the unwanted game that was on sale, i have not tried that one yet, but since i'm now an official CAG, i just might have to give that one a whirl.
P.S.
MOD'S feel free to move this post if it is incorrectly placed in the wrong location.
I KNOW THIS IS OF THE WRONG GAME AND STORE, but just wanted to give a visual reference to what i was describing, hope to see some receipts posted in the near future!!!!
