0) How fast is the shipping?
He sends out via usps or ups. First class mail-$5. Usually arrives in three days, sometimes more. Priority mail- $6.50. Usually arrives in 2 days, sometimes three. UPS-$8. I honestly dont know how long this one takes
If you buy two games that get shipped together he automatically upgrade to priority.


1) When will games like GTA 4 and Halo 3 ship out?
Both of those games will ship on or one day before street date because they are street dated titles which means I(Tony) should have mine at least one day early. I would pay for priority mail. It is fairly quick. As fast as two day cross country sometimes.

2) When I trade in games to lower the price, will I get the trade in credit as well?
Yes. Not only do you get the trade in credit, you will also get the lower price depending on the number of trades(Limit three per game to lower the price). Games must be worth at least $10 trade in credit. Basically, you get the lowered price and store credit

3) Is this site reputable?
Yes. There have been two threads each reaching 30+ pages and many people have bought used and new games from him. Everyone has been happy with their purchases. If something does go wrong, you can email Tony and he will help you to make your purchase better.

4) How are these considered deals if the shipping is $5
Ok. First there is NO tax. That saves you about $4. Then if you trade in games towards your purchase it will lower the price $5 more(if they are worth $10). Used games are about $20 below EB/GS for newer games. So at $5 saveings per game if you bought 5 games a year thats at least $30 savings


5) Where does Tony ship from?

Lion Games
120 Willow Street
Winsted, CT 06098

Phone: 860-738-4336

Email: [email protected]

6) How can liongames.com make money with such low prices?
Instead of advertising, Tony is offering lowered prices and excellent customer service in hopes that you will come back and tell others via forum or word of mouth. He mainly makes money on used games and he has an actual store in CT to further bring in money

7) Who are you? I've never heard of LionGames.com

LionGames.com is a subsidiary of Age of Video II located in Torrington and Winsted Conn. The addresses are as follows:

Age of Video II
1151 Main Street
Torrington, CT 06790
860-496-1798

Age of Video II
120 Willow Street
Winsted, CT 06098
860-738-4336

We have been running Age of Video II in Torrington from 1987-present and our Winsted store 1991-present. As you can see we are no strangers to the retail environment.

8) I have purchased game(s) and sold game(s) on the same invoice. What happens now?
Since the game(s) you sold us reduced the total of your invoice, we cannot send you your game(s) until we received the game(s) you sold to us. Mail your games as quickly as possible to.

Lion Games
120 Willow street
Winsted CT
06098

9) I want to buy a game(s) and sell you a game(s) and I want the game(s) I buy right away.
In this case do 2 separate invoices. One for the purchases and one for the game(s) you are selling us. This way we don’t have to wait for your games to get to us before we send you the one you purchased.

10) Am I allowed to trade in so many games that Lion Games will owe me money?
Sure!!! You can even just sell us games without buying one yourself. If you want to sell us more then 10 games, shoot us an email first.

11) Will I be guaranteed the price Lion Games quoted me for my game?
As long as you represent the game condition that you are selling us accurately, we guarantee the price we quoted you on our website. Lion Games noticed some of our competitors have reserved their right to reduce the game(s) after they’ve received the game(s), if they feel the market has changed. We don’t do that. We also don’t put bogus prices on our website. We take a straight forward no nonsense approach to doing business. The only other thing we ask is for you to mail your game(s) to us within 5 business days.

12) An example of a trade-in scenario:

Metroid Prime is $34.99 with 2 trade-ins

Trade in Shadowrun for $25 and Fantastic 4 for $15 would give you $40 credit.

MP is $34.99 (with 2 trades) + $6.50 USPS priority - $40 credit would leave you with a balance due of $1.49.

13)When do I pay off my balance?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is about one month from the release date. Tony will send out an email stating when certain deals are ending and when your balance will need to be payed off

14) How do I upgrade my shipping?

If anyone wants to upgrade their shipping from first class to priority then you can just paypal me $1.50 to [email protected] Please include your invoice number in the comment section. It is $1.50 per game. Also after i make the change your invoice will still read first class but the amount that you actaully paid will be different and the amount paid for shipping is what i look at when i determine first class or priority.

Tony I hope you dont mind that I took some answers and question from your site

I got copy in the mail today as expected. Tony do you know when you are going to start shipping orders of Two Worlds?

I was hoping they would come at the same time but I think they may have played around with the street date.
 
[quote name='liongames']4plus days. your game probably shipped on wednesday if you paid for first class shipping. Today is friday so that is 2 days. First class is 3 to 5 days. Your game will make it to you[/QUOTE]

Tony, with all do respect I count release day as day 1. Otherwise any retailer could ship a game a week after relase and say I got it in 3 days. I have no problem with the time it's taking since you had issues with your shipment and I did choose USPS. Some things are out of our control. Cheap games are good.
 
Got my game today. There's a slight tear on the back of the slip cover. I don't really care, but it kinda sucks.



Anyways, I live in southwest Montana. Got BioShock today. Chyeah.

Two worlds released today but it isnt a street dated title. That means my distributor gets his product right around release date. He got the game yesterday and I will get mine on monday and ship them to the my customers the same day!

I count tuesday to wednesday as day also but because some of my shipment was late I think it is best to start on wednesday. So if you get it tommorow it would have taken 3 days to get to you. Only because of the one day delay.

Hey Tony, I see Big Brain Academy Wii Degree isn't on your site yet for either buy or trade in value--Are you looking for any of these? I may want to trade mine in!

[quote name='[email protected]']hey, how much will you give for just the 360 guitar controller without game, and will you be selling accessories like controllers, faceplates, etc. on your website?[/quote]

Eventually I might get into accessories. I got others things i want to do first. I am not sure i can just use the guitar. it is too expensive to ship.
 
[quote name='yamas']What the hell?!?!?! I live in the North Illinois and haven't gotten mine. fucking USPS[/quote]

I think the usps is great. I think it is very important to keep in mind that first class shipping for $5.00 is 3 to 5 days. In a normal situation that puts next monday as very acceptable. if timing is an issue then people should pay the extra $1.50 and get priority mail. it is tough to have it boths ways. if you pay for 3 to 5 day shipping then i would think the timing of the delivery isnt that important. If it is important then priority is the answer. It just doesnt add up in my mind to save on shipping then wonder where your game is.

That leads me to a funny story and comparision. My newphew from florida was up to visit for a few weeks in july. He was looking for a ps2 game that I didnt have in my videostores. I basically decided to buy it from gamestop. It was $9.99 plus shipping. I ordered the game on 8/11 and told them to ship it to him in florida. The game shipped on 8/14 {Strike one} the games arrives today at my house not his! {Strike 2} Today is the 24th. That is 13 days from the time of order. {Strike 3} Then the game shows up without the original box and no directions. [strike 4} The game is also pretty scratched. I may classify is at good, but i may not. {strike 5} At least with me people know exactly what they are buying with me. The only place I throw that many strikes is on the bowling lane. :)
 
Got my Bioshock today. Great price. Perfect condition. I wish this game could have gotten to me sooner, but heh...it wasn't your fault. I'll certainly be ordering more games from Liongames.
 
[quote name='[email protected]']What do you guys think the next deals should include im thinking:
Skate
tony hawks proving grounds
need for speed pro street
nba live 08
rock band
medal of honor
or orange box[/quote]

What stinks about all these games is they are all EA. They are the most expensive publisher and sometimes they drop their prices too quickly. I need to be creative to work some of these into specials.
 
I just checked the status of my bioshock order and it says "not yet shipped". I'm hoping it just hasn't been changed to "ship" yet for some reason.
 
received my bioshock the other day, came in great shape as usual, and ordered up Ace Combat 6. Might order up PGR4 but I've got so much stuff on my plate it's gonna be tough to get it in there what with bioshock, halo, skate, ace combat... and I don't even get to start in on those till late september cause my dead 360 :(

Will it be a big deal?? I hate to bitch about it, but if it's not too big a problem, then yeah, I'll take one.

I'm not complaining about liongames. There's nothing you guys can do you.You shipped it the way I paid for it. I'm just pissed that someone who lives farther away from me gets it earlier:bomb:. Ever since their rate hikes, I've notices a lack in service also. So I still say: fucking USPS

I agree with you yamas. I live in RI about an hour away from Lion Games and still have not received Bioshock. This is def a USPS service issue. I sold some stuff on ebay last week and shipped some of the item Parcel Post. They shipped on Aug. 16 and arrived today. The buyers were geeting upset with me. Go figure.

I'm thinking of upgrading the shipping on my other pre-orders.

Definetly the USPS fault. I live in Ohio and I still havent recieved my copy YET! Very frustrating, because I had many opportunities to play the damn game but since school is going to start again(monday) I wont have many opportunities now.

Its my fault for not paying the extra $1.50, but come on...to take this long?

No he doesnt accept madden 07 as it is and he doesnt accept xbxo or ps2 games any more. Mass Efect and the orange box already had pre order specials. You guys just missed them. COD 4 is one of the specials right now. Assasins Creed was already a pre order special that you missed as well
 
I didn't get it today either. Did you ship Parcel Post? If so then you made a big mistake as you can ship regular first class for less and it takes a shorter amount of time.
 
[quote name='yamas']I didn't get it today either. Did you ship Parcel Post? If so then you made a big mistake as you can ship regular first class for less and it takes a shorter amount of time.[/quote]

No I shipped them first class unless priority for paid for. First class mail is 3 to 5 days. When you choose your shipping option it does state 3 to 5 days.
 
Sorry if this question has already been answered but I really did not want to read through the entire forum for the answer. Does LionGames charge your credit card right away or after the game has shipped? Thanks, and again sorry if a repeat question.

Liongames charges right away.
 
Tony,

Have you thought about posting in the AVS forums instead of here? It's a much more mature audience and I don't think you would get all this complaining about the cost of the shipping. There are already a couple of threads there about Liongames. Well, thanks for all the hard work.
