I'm not seeing this news anywhere, not even RFD.

Because it's not true. It just disappears from some things for whatever reason. When I was looking at Crash more than a week after it came out the discount was there and the promotion was listed as 2 weeks. It's still a thing.

[Wasp14]

My Splatoon 2 from amazon hasn’t even shipped yet, and I’m a prime member.

They removed the wording from the site. Does that mean it'll be removed from all games on launch day? Of course not because Amazon's site is broken and inconsistent. There were already games that the discount lasted more than a month after release.

Just went to BestBuy at downtown Toronto (Yonge and Dundas). They have atleast 20 Switches in stock right now.

Looking to sell a few Ganecube games. Anyone know a decent place in the GTA that will offer a fair price? I get I could make more sell them myself, but that’s too much work, IMO.

Man, I actually see the Switch in stock. Wish I could justify picking one up right now.

I'm assuming it'll be the same on Rabbids launch day and can guarantee it will be on Mario launch day.

 

[HamsterPackage]

My Splatoon 2 order with Amazon is scheduled for the 26-28, but it now says shipping today. So if anyone has the same delivery date check your Amazon order.

 

[Zombie James]

My, my, look at all these Switches in stock. And on the same day Splatoon 2 launches, what a coincidence! I can't believe people accuse Nintendo of artificial shortages.

Nintendo has released a big restock with every major Switch release. I expect they will continue to do so until the holidays and I also expect they will probably continue to sell out (eventually). However, every time it goes up, the stock lasts longer and longer, so it's catching .

whew stupidity at full force

dudes can't produce the system at a consistent rate. why wouldn't you hold stock back when major games are released

 

[purpletentacle]

Original. All of these are original with the exception of, I think, the two Resident Evil titles - which are part of the “Pure Evil” pack.

 

[jokkir]

I should buy another Switch

You're agreeing with me and calling me stupid at the same time. Good job.

Ugh Canada Post came way earlier than usual today and just left a slip. I should be able to pick up the stuff this evening from the post office right?

Take it from someone who had to buy three of them for friends who could not order them in time : This is a road that no one should go through.

Spoiler

/S, just make sure they pay you back as soon as they receive it.

 

[purpletentacle]

As I said above, all original versions.

That said, that 250 is if I sell privately, yes? If I take it to a place, I’d get like 150?

 

[doctorcdcs]

depends on the place really. if you have the patience, you can always go to multiple places and see what they offer you. I assume you're not in any real rush to sell these?

also, am i reading that right for paper mario on price charting? $35 on avg for a complete version? that seems cheaper (ie: more affordable) than I thought it would go for

are these us or cdn prices? lol

If you bring it to a place you'll be dealing with however fair that place decides to be. We have no way of knowing what they'll offer. But you have some high quality stuff in there, so don't just accept nothing in effort to get rid of it.

There's a Buy it Now on ebay for $43 CAD. It's not the hardest game to find.

I mean, your point is pretty bad. You're acting like they're cheating people as a marketing strategy when it's fully known that they're held back by component shortages. Building up stock to have the console available when a big new release hits isn't some kind of dirty move.

That’s fair and good advice. Mostly it’s a case of me being older and not feeling the need to hold on to these games anymore. Has anyone on here tired Let Go for selling games?

I'm half interested in making a bulk offer, but I'm really trying to cut back on buying stuff just for the sake of collecting. I won't actually play any of these.

Never heard of them myself. Let us know what you decide to do with the games. I thought Paper mario was some crazily expensive title this whole time, but since its not too badly priced, I can wait to see what you ultimately decide upon doing.

I'm happy taking a bulk offer.

How is holding back stock for a big release not a marketing strategy? 🤔

 

[CannonFodder52]

I know a lot of people have bad experiences.

But I sell quite a bit on kijiji. Just state your aren't looking for bulk deals and ignore profit buyers. Eventually people offer close to eBay prices.

come on man. get a grip. having more supply available when demand is at its highest is something everyone does in every industry. the difference with the switch is there is less supply overall so correspondingly fewer units are available in between these high demand periods.
