Ughs... someone sniped the one chronotrigger out of my cart, mainly due to my PayPal was acting up.

Are online coupons still not working and can you stack a $50 & $10?

[Davem]

Interesting flash sale.. Buy New $30, get 50% off one Pre-owned. Considered in-store pick up  Xenoblade:DE pre-owned, but then realized the game would take 100+ hours and decided not to pull the trigger   None of the new games in that range were great options anyways. (I guess if you were still planning to pickup TLOU2, maybe combine it with something?)

So what's in the box?

Anyone here actually forked out thousands of dollars to sell on Amazon FBA like this guy?

Yep, gotta spend the big bucks if you want a big return. I personally cleared out 2 Gamestop's recently on their last day of being open. At 90% off all games, it's well worth it to. Luckily I'm in a good discord group that shares those super cheap store closings (not just Gamestop) to even know about these things.

Stumbled on a case packed with OG Switches at one of my local walmarts yesterday, must have been 15+ there. Looks like hardware stock may be picking up soon?

You mean post-covid? They're back to doing more liquidation closings (as in not just quietly not reopening and shipping their product elsewhere)?

Gamestops and other stores never stopped closing. Stores were just transferring their inventory to other stores or waited and as soon as they opened back up, they were closing down.

You got lucky and was present during a restock. Buy them all been selling them for $400 locally. $75 profit is great.

When you say OG Switch's, you mean the original Switch's in the White box or newer Red box Switch?

I've been mulling over how to get this to work out.  It doesn't work on pre-orders and CAG16 doesn't stack.  Double boo!

 

One thought is to buy something with added value, like Tetris 99 (new, Switch, $30), which comes with a year of Nintendo Online ($20 MSRP), gut the game, then sell it off, used, and do whatever with the 50% off game, which might not have the case.  The half priced game would likely be an expensive $55 title.

 

Sadly it only seems to work for 1 50% off game per 1 full priced new game.

 

Hmm, the margins are still very slim.  $30 Games I would want to buy new, due to the included DLC codes (ex: MM:Legacy) are sold out.  Oh well.

[gospelman]

Really hate the current block on adding in-store pickup inventory (qty: 1) to cart.  Several new games at the 29.99 point nearby that I would order in this deal.  Anyone know a viable workaround? 

The only one I've previously read is when preowned is also instock, which is not the case for me.

Sorry, not familiar with Switches. It was a red box, didn't pay close attention but noticed there was no bundled software mentioned on the package. I think they were red/blue joys but may have been all black one too. Price was $299, I was in a bit of a rush and wasn't looking for Nintendo stuff, just happened to walk down that section.

If you have lots of spare time and no job, I guess?  You're also directly affecting kids and moms who aren't able to find a console anywhere near msrp.

I bought chronotrigger from GameStop.com a couple years ago and it was fake, so you may have save yourself a big headache

[jrc84]

Yeah, that seems like a lot of legwork and kind of a dick move. I don't have time to play games as it is so little intrest in that level of flipping. Might do some trade in flips with GS or something for preorders but moving consoles over msrp is out of my league.

Don’t be a scumbag, especially during a pandemic.

[Maneru]

ordered 12 vita games

1 retail case

5 generic cases

5 yellow envelopes 

1 jammed into a switch case in such a way that I had to break the case to get the game out...

[hooknsling]

Received an email detailing their reopening protocols so finally Mall stores must have opened. Seeing store hours now for locations around me instead of CL:CL.

 

I can finally cancel preorders and get back credit.

Not a bad idea, I passed on considering Tetris since I figured it was one of those code-only games, but it looks like it actually comes with a cartridge. I don't subscribe to nintendo online myself, so wouldn't really find a good outlet to sell the code here. 

 

Clubhouse Games @ $40 isn't a terrible option to split the order delivery methods. (pickup + free ship)  Sadly, both new and pre-owned games are locked out of CAG16 as well as any certs once both are added to cart....

[Accidie]

I bought Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection (new) and Luigi's Mansion 3 (pre-owned) in one order and Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition (new) and Final Fantasy VI Advance (pre-owned) in another order.

[endsjustify]

Got Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection which I was intending to get anyway which gave me 50% off on Super Mario RPG for snes. Pretty pleased with this flash sale.

[strongarm]

I bought 2 games under the buy one 29.99 and get a pre-owned for 50 percent off, but I forgot to link my account.

Is there a way to link my account so I can get the points after the purchase?

[strongarm]

Not a bad sale, btw. I bought ni no Kuni for 29.99 and ys viii (both for the switch) for the price that I would have paid for ys alone. I suggest looking for switch games that are most likely not gonna drop in price as the pre-owned one for half

[topchief1]

I just can't trust that they won't send a gutted copy of anything, slapped a sticker on it and call it new. Same goes with preowned, generic label, scratched up disc, ect. Also, they lie when they claim that you will get free shipping, if you have done any of their recent flash sales in the past, the invoice clearly shows that they charge you 5.00 to ship it, then they deduct an equal among from each game, so that if you need to return it for any reason, you are out that money.

This is one "deal" that people would be wise to stay away from.

Ys VIII is a good bet.  The money (collectability aspect) though is going to be if it comes with the insert, fold-out map, and trading cards (esp the trading cards - which are mostly missing IMO).  Falcom / NIS America Inc. had sort of a limited run of this game, for Switch.  They publicly stated they were unsure of the Switch market.  It's a game in my mind as being rare down the road.  Also a really fun Switch JRPG!  I played through it, and had a blast!

 

I bought multiples last year to find 1 pack of trading cards.  I'm OK with that.

 

The Switch version comes with all DLC items already unlocked.  Good game, for me: tied scores with XC-DE IMO .. XC2 is lower in my list, as reference.

 

Overall good game to get for $27.50+tax. /applause

I strongly agree, when they did their last sale on “new” games, I ordered about 20 and literally half of them were opened with damaged cover art and dirty discs. A couple of the “new” ones didn’t even have cases. How does a company sell a new game without the case like wtf?

I still don’t know they are legally able to get away with this. It should be considered false advertising at a minimum

Thanks.

I was literally going to buy ys through Amazon right before I saw this sale. I mainly care for the cartridge. I've been wanting to play it for a while. Ni no Kuni the same.

So Im happy.
