If you're looking for a quick sale, I'd probably go $20 for the lot.
Where do you live ?
Sorry but I've already gotten an offer for Bioshock Infinite so I'm taking it out. I'm adding Batman Arkham City and Uncharted 3 (unsealed copies).
I think he was saying to list it at that price, not actually putting in an offer.

Can anyone suggest the cheapest place for a retron 5 in the GTA? Preferably a place with a return policy in case I get a lemon.

I did the chat customer service support thing with Amazon. The entire thing basically went
Me: Hey I was supposed to get a SFV Beta Code yesterday
Amazon: Hi, my name is ___ what can I help you with>
Amazon: Here's your code: xxx-xxx_xxx
Me: Oh that was quick, thank you
Yay Amazon

yeah, same thing happened here.
I decided I need a TE2 for this beta and surprisingly found them in-stock at NCIX. The page is hella sketchy though.

I shop at NCIX all the time and I've never seen that kind of 'in-stock' indicator before.
Apparently there is a surplus of 80 TE2's sitting in some NCIX warehouse in Guelph.
One place I recommend checking out (I haven't checked their stock lately)

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
;.;
Maybe Videogame Plus. Call ahead and ask.
Bro that's like $18 trade credit. Trade them in for a psn gift card and load up your wallet since you're going digital only on the PS4 (enjoy your $69.99-79.99 games that never drop in price)
There's tons of restaurants for all types of cuisines so I can't really tell you what you want.
As for places, the CN Tower, Lakeshore Boardwalk, Casa Loma, are good starts.

Well, I was being patient but I guess I should do this, heh.
Same, was waiting to see if they got around to emailing, but the beta's tomorrow. It took all of 5 minutes to get the code.

Yup, I got mine pretty quick talking to the chat guy. Sweeeeet
Hard to help much without knowing what you're into, or what part of town you're in.
Hockey Hall of Fame?

19k posts in this thread already, and it was started in Dec. 2014. Then again didn't we have a couple thousand posts on those things that start with A?
Amazon shipping times? That's like half the thread.

Just bring them to goodwill or something
Spinning out the A****** was the greatest thing to ever happen to this thread
Thanks for the pointers guys. I'm staying near the garden district so a lot of things seem to be within walking distance. I've been around the downtown area, the allan gardens, st lawrence market and eaton centre. I walked past the hockey hall of fame but I didn't go in, I guess I should have!
Yes it is my first time here. I'm into anything that will keep my mind as busy as possible. I had to put some distance between me and Montreal because of something personal so I didn't really plan the trip beyond grabbing a ticket for the first bus that was leaving.
I'm definitely going to the CN tower, Casa Loma and ROM. Maybe the zoo if I have time, I certainly would like to. High Park sounds good. What about the Toronto islands, are they worth it? I'll post any other questions in the thread, I forgot it was buried in the community section, thanks for reminding me.
The beach sounds great, I will definitely check it out! I don't drink alcohol anymore so no beer for me haha. I'm a sucker for good food though, all kind, and Toronto seems to be filled with good places to eat at. If you've got any favorite place, make sure to tell me.
Also if you guys ever happen to visit Montreal, I'm always happy to show people around.
Yeah. Even shipping on one game would still be like $8. Might work out for someone who gets them as a lot.
Are you looking to kill a lot of time? It's a nice day out so the ferry to the islands isn't the worst thing to do but once you're there you might be bored. If you happen to have little kids Centreville might be fun but a guy by himself won't really enjoy it.
One of my favourite places to squirrel away a bit of time downtown is Sugar Beach, which is on Queen's Quay east of the core near Jarvis. It's a little artificial bit of sand with a few rocks and fountains. It's a nice way to pretend you're at the beach for about 20 minutes and then you're right back in the city again, so if you're looking to read a book or something like that it's a good spot. It's walking distance to a lot of restaurants, bars and such. I dunno, do you like beer? I can tell you where to get beer.

HOT HOT HOT DEAL
I don't think it's ever been close to this low for the whole bundle with the balance board. The balance board bundle is on backorder, but I'd highly suggest placing an order if you have interest in this.
Wii Fit U + Fit Meter + Balance Board $29.99 + $7 shipping
https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/ca/po/browse/productDetailColorSizePicker.jsp?productId=prod150207
Wii Fit U + Fit Meter $24.99. Probably $7 shipping too.

Ordered as well, hope i get it
I went to Montreal last year and it was pretty wild. I'd love to go back when there isn't snow everywhere.
I'm vegan so I'm not the first guy to talk to about food, but if you're looking for decent Mexican I really like Rancho Relaxo, on College just west of Spadina. If you're closer to Front everyone I know likes C'est What near Church, although that's more the best food at a place with a lot of good beer, so maybe that won't meet your standards.

Placed my ordered. Finger crossed that i get one
Well, I ordered one, because 3x HOT sounds pretty hot to me, but I honestly don't know what this even is. I know it's some sort of board you do yoga on, but I already go to the gym, so I'm not sure if I'll get any use out of it. Will have to look into what it really is and decide to cancel or not.

Is that site still around? It's where I got my Qanba, but when I checked last year everything on their page seemed to be out of stock.
Not a 'deal' per se, but NCIX has Madcatz TE2s a lot cheaper than amazon (and madcatz themselves considering exchange and shipping). Mine just shipped, hoping to get it in time for the SF5 beta. I got free shipping by ordering a $1 USB adapter from their sale page which triggered the free shipping on the entire order.

The store page has been a bit wonky and actually disappeared a while ago. They obviously have stock though.

Well it was $258.59 CAD shipped from MadCatz. So it 's a bit cheaper. And I've never had issues with NCIX before. Might have to go that route. Only thing that makes me a little paranoid is the fact they don't have it pictured.
Well, I can let you know what shows up at my doorstep, heh.
The store page is pretty janky yeah - like I said it wasn't even up earlier today. But the part# brings up a TE2 when you google it. Based on the stock levels I might be the only brave soul to order one since yesterday.

What did you add to get free shipping? I'm not finding anything for $1.
It works for Punchout
I almost bought one on CL - I'll place an order I guess and see what happens.
Anyone know if they still use purolator?
Sorry, wasn't at my computer - anything from the sale works. I used this dumb thing but it seems to be back at normal price now.
these are the cheapest sale items I can find right now:

Dang. It ends up being $15 cheaper then getting it from Mad Catz. Now how do I cancel an order with Mad Catz?
