Why not? Sure it's a bit worrisome but chances of something bad happening is slim, really slim. I have probably done a half dozen or so console sales/trades through Kijiji and like I said, nothing bad has ever happened.

I actually went to the sellers home for the ps4; then again, I did have someone else waiting outside, etc etc.
Tested the system out, did the format, tested everything out again. But yeah, YMMV or however comfortable you feel about things.

Just want to say I sold my ps3 and went to the buyers home to test it, went fine. Use your best judge of character I guess

so don't pick it up? it's $150 of savings, though.
yeah we're meeting at a mall, he was actually selling it for 350 but i asked for 300 and he said 325.
if he won it during a xmas party then most likely it doesn't have a receipt. i actually set up a meeting for tomorrow to pick it up. no, i don't think him going to my home is a good idea.
does that mean sony won't honour the warranty if there's no receipt, even if i tell them it's a prize from a xmas party?

They know when the console was bought. Retailers report this info to Sony. I'm 99% certain you won't need a receipt for the warranty.
edit, nm, this is only the case with Nintendo apparently
"A VALID PROOF OF PURCHASE IN THE FORM OF A BILL OF SALE OR RECEIPT FROM AN AUTHORIZED RETAILER WITH THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE MUST BE PRESENTED TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE."

Yup. It's really a good card especially it don't have the 2.5% forex fee. I'm also thinking of getting one for purchasing figures from Japan.
Yeah I called them today to see if they were still taking pre-orders. The girl said no so I asked if they would be in the future. She said "maybe but very unlikely". I rolled my eyes and hung up.

goddammit, I bought it for my girlfriend for xmas for 35 not including the expansion.
/sigh
How much do you guys think I can sell my The Last of Us digital code for? It seems like $20 is about what they usually go for, maybe even a little bit below that. If it gets to something like $15 though I feel like I might as well keep it and replay the game in beautiful smoothness.

I think it's just the expansion, not the base game.
You guys think that Driveclub will drop any lower than $40 for Boxing Day? Just a page ago I said I'd wait for $30, but I found I had an unredeemed RZ certificate and now the weather is calling my name D;
I sold mine for $20, that seems to be the top end at least because it's on sale like everywhere for $18-20, and at least buying direct from others people can get around tax.
Just buy the game. If the game go down below 39.99, just return the one you bought.
Someone preordered all 20 at the Metrotown EB in BC. I don't know why the girl had to tell me that but it made me really pissed off.
I wish I saw this but I was too pissed off. I have a gift card to use for preorder so I can cancel some amazon ones. Oh well.

You don't get to bring friends.
I got the exact same bs on 'oh we can't preorder' so I get your frustration level. That one location is a strange place...
Oh, well, this saves me a walk today
I once went to the Pacific Centre EB Games and tried to buy Parappa the Rapper for PSP, but they didn't have it, so they called Metrotown to see if they had it in stick and the guy at Metrotown just refused to check.
The staff turnover is super high at that store. Same goes with most stores at Metrotown.

WTF?? What idiotic employee would even let someone do that?
I wouldn't work there
Working retail anywhere (esp Vancouver) is soul destroying, people act so entitled
No it's not. When I was a kid bumming around the world travelling I was working retail in Vancouver and it was fine.
It's not entitled people spoiling retail.
One who wants 20 pre-orders for their quota.

Unless something has changed since I worked there, they don't have quotas

I'm pretty sure they don't. At least whenever I was there they never pushed a magazine or card or some other thing...

I hope they will hold my in store pick-up... Can't believe they let one person get whole stock
Why are they constantly harassing people with pre-orders and protection plans then?
That's probably the whole shipment. I think there's 4 a box and that should be 5 boxes.

I pre-ordered two Shulk yesterday. Assuming I get them, I'll let one go at cost.
(Or trade it for a ZSS/Lucina one if they get released.)

I would love one honestly I don't want to pay $10 more on amazon UK but I feel even if You did preorder eb will fuck up. I still am bitter about MGS3 LE.
Did they change the dates for the Wave 3 Amiibos?
My order on Amazon.ca now says theyre releasing January 30, 2015.....wasn't it February before?
Awesome

Yeah, February. January is probably an error.
well i know when I did the order it was February...so I was assuming maybe they bumped up the date or something, but not sure

it's...their job?
Lol ToysRus sold me a previously opened Playstation TV bundle. I knew the seal looked like it had been opened when I got it, but the dude promised me it hadn't, and since it was the last one I bought it anyway. I unboxed it right when I got home and the PS TV has scratches all over it. Plus, the code for the Lego Movie Videogame had already been redeemed. Just got off the phone with Sony and they said it was redeemed on October 27th.
Gonna go return it now. They better let me keep the $20 gift card.
Edit: They took back the gift card! LOL At least they apologized profusely. :/

It's still a measured KPI iirc, not to mention it's their job regardless.
What you're saying is the opposite of what a zillion Gamestop and EB Games employees have complained about on the internet.
Why would they tell me lies to try to scam me into buying protection plans every time I go in there if they have no stock in it?
