Is a refurbished 3DS a thing at EB? Can't see any on their website.

On a similar note, are there any brick and mortar stores that sell 3DS replacement parts? I need a new battery.

Sure. But online is really spotty on refurb stock this time of year. You're best off going to an EBG store; all of their refurbs still have to be processed so you're not seeing yesterday guy's 3DS dumped under the counter.

The only places I've ever seen 3DS repair parts are local fix up shops for electronics. Pretty much you are down to EBay / Nintendo store otherwise.

I guess you can always try aliexpress for cheap parts?

Thanks. I figured there's probably some people who traded in their 3DS for new ones, judging by GAF in general lol.

To those who picked up the PS4 Slim with the trade deal at EB, what extra game did you choose? Nothing really piques my interest, and Kijiji is already swamped with copies of those games so reselling might not be worth it...

I MIGHT go with GTAV as I already played through it but it could be fun to mess around in again, and I want to check out those playable animals they added in the next-gen version...

So guess some places still sell PS+ for $49. I noticed it was $70 at the source yesterday, but just saw it for $49 at SDM so I picked one up. Great price when you consider its $38 USD.

Watch dogs 2 seems popular as does overwatch. You can easily get $40 for these. You're right though, kijiji is swamped with all of the free games.

My mom wants an iPad. I have no idea why, since she barely knows how to use her phone, but at least it's one less Christmas item I have to think about.

I'm not an Apple guy. Which one do you guys recommend? Where's the best place to get one?

Apple Refurb store. Get a Mini 2 or 4. Unless she can't see too well, then get an Air or Air 2

Anybody here have experience with third party sellers on Amazon? I saw a 60" 4K Vizio TV for $10.22 so I quickly bought it. Within two minutes it was removed. I figured it was a pricing error but then a couple days later they charged me and I got the shipping confirmation email

I'll definitely be sure to update. The vendor is "GOU GO" which does not sound reliable in the slightest. But we'll see what they have in store. Doesn't Amazon still take care of the shipping? So something must be coming my way

There are tons of scam sellers on Amazon right now. Don't fall for deals too good to be true. Contact their customer support. I'm guessing the seller profile and all his items are gone from the site, right?

Yup. I was just thinking that even though it's likely a scam, there's gotta be some way to get refunded with Amazon's policy. Maybe I should have clarified that beforehand

Yeah, you'll definitely have no problem getting refunded. It's mostly just a scam to get your personal information.

I wish there'd at the very least be a PS4 Pro Uncharted 4 bundle or some shit, but absolutely nothing lol.

It is just a way to get your shipping and billing address, your email and contact details etc. Amazon is full of it when they say they don't share anything. One time I had called a seller and I was in their in-store system because of my Amazon order etc. You won't receive anything, you will file a charge back etc.

Look at the seller's page. Some third party sellers have been popping up with the same price on a wide variety of stuff, see if this is one of those.
Edit:Nvm should read next time.

Got GTA since I kept holding off on buying it for the longest time.

is it common for one of these scammers to actually ship something? I know my dad bought 6 ssd's when they were $1.66 and amazon eventually told him he'd be refunded.

I might take the chance and buy some of those $1.66 3ds cover plates.
