Anora posted:It also doesn't help that in America we don't really seem to teach our kids enough about folk lore to have them give a poo poo if John Henry is in a game. And the ones we do remember, we hold up in reverance, so seeing them thrown about all goofy like is a bit jarring. Then all of the poo poo like a bad demo, needing Amiibos that weren't (and still aren't) available en masse for character unlocks, and the speed up patch. It was really just the perfect storm to tank the game. american folklore owns because half of it was just made up for the sake of having american folklore exist

I really wonder how it would have been received if they'd reskinned it as a Metroid spinoff - one that actually looked like a Metroid game, not a goofy Federation Force thing.

It's not my fault its highly sought after Don't knock me for following market price (and giving a discount from that!) If people want it, they can buy it off of ebay. I have no obligation to do people huge favors like selling it for benny or something like that

By all means, if you can find it at 80 please do so. Like I said, why should I do people favors? Lot of reasons. Goons in arms. Back in the day, goons looked out for goons. That's pretty much gone now, but some people still do their best. But, to me, the biggest reason is that there is a large problem with scalpers in this country. It used to be just with concert/sports tickets, but now it is happening in video games. If you scalp your item, you are contributing to a problem. It's up to you, do you want to be the problem or the solution?

What's a fair price to you? Have you had success in finding it at the price? I mean shocker of shockers, it turns out that something thats a bit of a rare commodity is in high demand, which is just basic economics.

Yeah you struck my "gently caress off, scalper" nerve. I don't even give a poo poo about the game in question and I especially don't care about special editions but gently caress people who buy poo poo just to resell.

So to shift things toward getting a good deal, what kinda price should a guy look for these days if he's in the market to upgrade to an N3DS XL? I know they were around $175 on Amazon the other day, but I wasn't sure if that was a great deal since CamelCamelCamel says they were $158 within the past six months, plus Costco keeps doing deals for around $190 with a charger and a game I could probably hock on eBay for $20-30. Any tips? I've been kicking myself for a year for not getting the MH4U bundle.

When you are old you will look back and be so happy you got that extra $100. You'll be lying there on your deathbed happy knowing that you made no ones day but had $100.

New or used? New they show up for $175 or so every so often. Used, you can probably do $125 if you are savvy.

Waiting for the next $175 on Amazon may be my best bet since I have a little gift card balance, really. That and/or finding a place online that will price match Amazon but won't collect sales tax like Amazon does.

We get that you didn't set out to stock up on Special Editions and make a huge profit, and that you are entitled to try to sell your property for whatever amount you like. But generally speaking, the community here frowns on scalping other goons. Over in the amiibo buy/sell/trade thread, people only flipped even the rarest amiibo for a few dollars over MSRP (to cover tax/shipping/maybe make a couple dollars). But you're trying to sell something for twice what you paid for it. And you're acting like a smug, condescending jerk about it.

Lol dude if you're too autistic to understand why other people here aren't willing to pay much higher than MSRP for a new item and aren't reacting well when you ask for a stupid price then stop embarrassing yourself and post it on e-bay for some sucker to buy.
