Oh wait, I think I might have been looking at the wrong Oyster card. This looks like the right one.

 

[-Deimos]

Another person just got banned.

That's four I've seen, but I probably missed a few.

Their sacrifices will be remembered.

 

[UberTag]

Their sacrifices will be remembered.

Until a 5th person tries the same stunt and suffers the identical fate.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Don't do this

That...That is FREAKIN' Genius!!!

That'd be worth the ban quite honestly.

[Bronetta]

Im legit in shock right now.

I put my TE2+ fightstick up on Kijiji for $250.

Someone messaged me within minutes, is serious about buying it, very communicative and we arranged to meet later this evening. Only downside is he offered $230 but I'll take it considering how painless he's been to deal with.

It all feels so surreal.

Dammit he better.

You guys know what to do if I dont post in the next few hours:

Spoiler

preorder a SNES Classic for me

 

[Qwyjibo]

I've sold 2 fightsticks in the past couple years on Kijiji and didn't have any problems either. I feel like that's an item that you know they are absolutely interested in if they message you.

[Mimosa97]

The SNES mini doesn't even have a page on Amazon. Is that standard procedure?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

LOL!!!!!!!

 

[Iamcorrupt]

Contact them and get your money back.

If they dont take losses on shoddy packaging they'll keep doing it.

Yeah that's exactly what I did, nice to get the AMIIBO for free but it's never nice getting damaged packaging I'm amazed the figure itself was seemingly fine minus a slight bend to the sword

 

[Fuzzy]

Don't do this

Someone actually got banned for rickrolling people. Fucking rickroll.

Hope you don't mind when they show up with only $200.

 

[shira]

Need dat SNES classic

More like $100 and weed/stolen iPhone

That has become our new norm with Nintendo products.

Lol Ill let you guys know how it goes.

Gonna turn around and leave if its even a dollar less. I dont deal with that nonsense.

 

[MercuryLS3]

Accurate.

 

[Savitar]

Good luck to you, heard way too many stories of people showing up and wanting to pay way less than what was said.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Not really stressed for the SNES mini. Never preordered the NES classics and still managed to get two of them through amazon prime.

 

[Blam]

I can confirm that the Canadian price will be 99$.

Just checked the PR from Nintendo.

 

[jholmes]

Hey, kind of a random question, but is anyone familiar with Oyster Cards for the London travel system?

going to London in a few months and I read you can buy these in advance and they'll mail it to you. But I can't seem to use my Canadian Phone number and postal code. Is this thing only for UK citizens? Should I just buy my Oyster card when I get there?

Just buy your Oyster card there. I spent the extra money to have it shipped over because I thought I would use the Visitor Oyster discounts. They totally suck. Get the regular one.

I'm pretty sure you can buy cards in Gatwick but even if not you won't save any money buying the more expensive cards ahead and having them shipped to Canada.

EDIT: there are also discounts for things like the Tower of London and the London Eye tied to using the national railways, which do have regular stops inside London. Worth looking into, I saved a bundle on the Eye that way.

Well yeah, that's because there were no preorders for it here.

It's not really that hard to get the NES mini if you at least try. They went up a few times over the course of 5 months that they are available. The SNES mini is said to have "significantly" more than the NES mini so there's a higher chance of getting one, it's just that you have to try getting it, tut there's no need to be like SNES mini thread where they are stressing and actually waiting hours for it.

It's on their website too.

 

[chrono01]

I'm fine with the $99.99 price, it's what I expected actually.

Just let me pre-order the damn thing! Please. ;_;

 

[DVCY201]

LOL not for me! I seemingly missed each chance

 

[Exist2Inspire02]

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but it looks like 'Valkyria Revolution' no longer has the 20% Prime Member discount. I'm starting to think that our 20% discount is only applying to pre-orders now, based on what I'm seeing in "Everything included in Prime"

Member Exclusive Discount
Your discount applies to pre-orders for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, 3DS and more.

This may just be the negative side of me, but I'm guessing the Canadian Amazon Prime has lost that discount for newly released games.

 

[kevin1025]

I'm really hovering on that cancel button on Crash Bandicoot. The Steam sale calls to me...

 

[iphys]

That's actually a great deal on the exchange rate, not that anyone was truly worried about the price for once. Just hope it doesn't mean Nintendo short-changes us on stock to sell more elsewhere.

 

[blue_phazon]

So the same price as brand new Switch games!

 

[Kyolux]

How can you say no to this face?

 

[kevin1025]

How can you say no to this face?

It's either Crash or Dishonored 2. But then, Dishonored 2 during Black Friday will probably be $15-20... I'm awful at making decisions. I'll probably end up keeping Crash, haha.

 

[keakster]

Anyone have an idea of current EB trade in value for MK8 and Splatoon? (Wii U)

They both still sell for $55 pre-owned in store

 

[Lexxism]

It could probably be around $20 to $25. I think the MK8 was $52 during the Switch deal.

Yeah I kept meaning to take them in while they were running that promo but never did. BestBuy's online estimator said $25 for MK8 and $20 for Splatoon, so I imagine EB will be around there too. Thanks!

 

[iphys]

$22 and $26 according to tivs.ca last updated in mid-March, which was around when they got rid of the double-trade in deal, so they probably haven't had much reason to lower them since then.

 

[xanavi]

The controller I bought during the weekend tax-free madness arrived. My amazon receipt and cc statement are without added taxes.

I still think we're going to get taxed properly for the pre-orders though.

 

[Mysterious]

Oh wait, I think I might have been looking at the wrong Oyster card. This looks like the right one.

I just got the normal blue Oyster card, and got either the 3 or 5 day unlimited use loaded onto it (you can do this at the Terminal 1, 2, 3 station at Heathrow).

I usually just get Oyster cards that you can charge on the fly.

Doesn't the card automatically put you on the unlimited daily/weekly if you use it enough? Like once you spend the equivalent of an unlimited travel pass it just switches you? Was like that when I went 5 years ago

Are your kidneys ok?

 

[zeitgeist]

With the UK Travel talk going... Anyone have a recommended way to get my phone working with data over there? Do I just swap in a new SIM card?

Is your phone unlocked?

I bought a Tesco sim since my aunt works there. It was 15 pounds and I got 4 gigs of data for a month.

You could roam or buy a sim over there

I didnt get stabbed lol


It was a really chill Asian guy. We went to his place so he could test it out and he insisted I play a few matches of Tekken 7 with him.

Talked about work, school, the sorry state Capcom's in, people who waste your time on kijiji and stuff. Definitely one of the best kijiji encounters I've had.

 

[DVCY201]

I cancelled Crash. I figured it'll drop to $30 or less again, given that Ratchet and Clank has dropped price multiple times.

Plus I remembered I'm locked in for Splatoon this July

I bought this last month. The packaging was damaged but clearly never had been used.

I paid $280. Wish I saw your post lol. The other ads I saw were $300 plus and it still beat the amazon new price by a long way. I love that stick design.

Yeah, by the fall I'm sure it'll be $20, especially on Black Friday!
