#14284903 Walmart YMMV In Store Clearance Thread I (READ THE FAQs)

Posted by failgecko on 29 April 2020 - 01:42 PM

I used to work for a company that paid me to do 'Retail Arbitrage'. I'd drive a Mercedes Sprinter around and spend (On average) between 4-6 hours at a time in a store and, assuming it was fruitful, anywhere between $2,500 - $5,000.

 

My personal record was at a Toys'R'Us; 9.5 hours (I was there from open to close basically) and spent just short of $22k.

We cleared 1.5m of profit in Q4 of 2012.

I had to quit though as my parents got ill and I had to take care of my younger siblings.

 

EDIT: Amazon FBA, btw.

I got my second “Like new” Death Stranding CE and it did have the game this time thankfully.

This time the returner just put all the pieces into the CE box without any of the cardboard guts to support it. The steelbook was loose in the box with the clunky plastic case.

The steelbook had a couple scuffs and a small dent. I want to assume that’s why it was returned but, it could be cause it was loose in the box.
The code worked, so maybe somebody dropped it at a fulfillment center?

I’m just going to chalk this one out to a clumsy porter and call it a day.

Good luck, DaShaka. I hope your’s come out okay.

Ended up taking a gamble with a Death Stranding CE marked as "Like New" for about $105. (They still have some with 20% off for some reason)

Box was a bit beat up, the original purchaser had literally just cut their labels off with a box cutter and slapped the return label on the outside of the CE box.

Contents were in great condition but, the asshole OP had taken the game and steelbook out! (Which is basically why I was buying the CE)

Promptly returned it, just wanted to warn anyone considering one of these.
I ordered a second cause I really enjoy the game. If the second is a bust too, I'll probably just give up.  :cry:




#13993145 Teslagrad PS4/PS3/VITA CROSSBUY FREE FOR PSN PLUS USERS

Posted by failgecko on 11 May 2018 - 04:10 PM

Just wanted to re-confirm it worked for me, just a few minutes ago. (12PM ET)

As said before, it's the vita version that's free and it blatantly says 'Unlocks cross-play for ps3/ps4'.

For what it's worth, I had to log-in on my PC and purchase.

WAS NOT showing up for free from my phone using OP's link and WAS NOT showing on the PS App either.

 

(Also, Shout-out to whoever 1 star rated this thread cause they were butthurt about not getting free stuff. lololol)

What's that game about?

LOL @ "It's a Horror Game"

The TL;DR version would be: Someone built a building on a bad juju spot (bad juju being people dying and being trapped as ghosts), it is used for multiple things (Hospital, School, blah) over a course of years. Try to fix it by having some asshole make 'amulets' to fix to good juju, doesn't work.

Dude goes to school on White Day (Asian Valentine's day basically) to surprise THOT bright and early, not good idea. Don't die? Have fun.

 

I played a shit English fan translation forever ago on PC never beat it cause I'm a wuss. It was pretty fun from what I remember. Maybe comparable to Fatal Frame in the sense that it's Asian, Ghosty and there's some nonsensical puzzles (Take X item to Y location to spawn Z ghost for a jump scare). Maybe more recently comparable to 'The Joy of Creation' or 'Emily Wants to Play', but White Day has a pretty big and confusing map from what I remember as well.

I know White Dayhas been talked about in this thread, but according to one of the people who worked on it, it's only available on Amazon in the states. Pretty safe to say not many will be printed. 

I was worried this was the case and was waiting for BB for GCU.  :wall:  Any possibility of a source for the exclusivity info?

I closed my browser and went to play Horizon. NOT EVEN A MINUTE LATER. Damn....

#13772931 Limited Run Games Thread - Nothing is Limited, We Make Everything Now!

Posted by failgecko on 08 July 2017 - 11:15 PM

lol are any of these even good?

I'm actually really personally excited for Oceanhorn. The worst thing I've read is that it's a mobile port, but from what I can tell, It plays like a old-school top-down(ish) Zelda game. I was hoping for it for a LRG release since I heard about it when it launched for PS4 digitally.

 

One of the lesson I had drilled into my head when I was a kid was 'If you don't have anything nice to say, it's better to say nothing at all.'

Just wanted to let everyone know I got my copy of Parappa that shipped on 4/8 today. If everything goes just a smoothly, I would imagine we should be seeing Blue Rider by the end of the week. (Mine left on 4/10 too)

EDIT: From PA obviously, my bad!!

Looking for some positive reinforcement, so I needed headset asap and grabbed one from aw. eeech, chances are its new ? 50/50 ??

 Used - Very Good
Downloadable content (DLC) or codes for online play may require additional purchase.

Small scratches (less than 1/2" x 1/2") on bottom or back of item. Item will come in original

packaging. Packaging will be damaged.

I took a leap of faith on this one back when the Sony Gold's were on sale for $68. Came out fine even though it was 'Acceptable'. Specifically for me, the wording 'item' (I.E. Large Scratches on top of ITEM) was referring to the headset as a whole (the box being the 'outside' of the 'item'). It was brand new in a beat to hell box, still had everything in FS packaging inside.

was it a tight seal? because mine was clearly resealed, also with a loose disc and unused dlc.


Yeah, when I said factory sealed. I meant original, factory sealed. It's almost like a AMZ employee picked it up, shook it and heard the loose disc and threw it in the AWD pile. That or a stickler of a customer got it and sent it straight back cause the loose disc. I don't blame you if you don't want a loose disc, but my intention is to open and play the game and I have NEVER had an issue with a loose disc being messed up.
