So I'm guessing Target is just releasing really limited supplies gradually because some people had success with Target. (Darn them and their fast fingers!!)

 

[JamsTheKuma]

Almost got one at Target, forgot my own password.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Ah well see you in half an hour.

 

[Hyoukokun]

It wasn't this thread, it was another thread where someone had a junior account that almost 100% had posts bragging in multiple threads about making profit off getting 20+ SNES classics. That just seemed a bit mean -- they found a way to profit, but why rub it in people's faces repeatedly in multiple places? Anyway, it's been ruled fair game so I won't complain more about it.

I -will- complain about getting to the Target credit card screen just now, only to have an inventory error kick it out instead of the checkout finishing.

Considering about a dozen people (myself included) just posted that they had this happen, I'm not sure it was actually working for anybody.

I feel like my only hope at this point is for Amazon to put up more stock, or to camp out day-of.

That just seemed a bit mean -- they found a way to profit, but why rub it in people's faces repeatedly in multiple places? It's one thing to order 20. It's another to spam screenshots of those in a thread filled with people trying to get a single order and discussing how to do so. Anyway, it's been ruled fair game so I won't complain more about it.

Ah that is different. I agree. My only hope of getting one now is braving launch day a few hours before they open. But I am expecting disappointment myself. I blame Nintendo for it all.

 

[Hylian7]

Prove that he is going to scalp them.

Please tell me what other reason he has to buy that many for and then gloat about it. He's said nothing a about selling them at normal price to GAFfers or anything, so the most logical conclusion is that he's either scalping them or going to put them all on a shelf and laugh maniacally.

 

[Barry Burton]

So every hour at the top of the hour, Target opens up preorders again it seems like?

I guess I'll try again at 6. I gotta be faster at typing in my verification code next time.

 

[apieceofstrange]

Carted target 3 times so far only for it to crap out on the final step.

What a waste of time this has been.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

you've been here long enough to know some of the characters around here who like to stir shit up. not sure why you assume we don't or are going out of you're way to defend them.

its rather condescending to insist he has a right to be excited while ignoring that we have a right to be frustrated and not "chill".

Nintendo turning us into savages

From the bottom of my heart Fuck you Nintendo. I shouldent have to buy an overpriced Bundle from Think Geek to get a SNES Classic...

 

[A Link to the Past]

He invested $120 in a bot and its paying dividends good for him.

"Free market" doesn't cover people being jerks about it tho

 

[Grady]

There will be more open preorders. No way this is it. That would not be significantly more.

 

[perfectchaos007]

had three in cart at target, removed. lol

Hard to sympathize there. Try one at a time next time.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Jeez. Sorry, guys. Sorry again.

Hope you all find it. I'm going to give them to my friends and family. Once I have them in my hand and they are done calling dibs, I'll give some dibs to GAF.

<3

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

Had the console scrip running on Target, finally added to cart. Tried to check out and somehow had 4 as the quantity. Reduced it down to 1 and it disappeared.

 

[Darknight]

I almost got one on Target just now.

It takes way too long to go from checkout to place order.

Whats the trick?

 

[Aztechnology]

Because people are losing their shit about it lol. I could easily order 20 and have them all accounted for amongst friends. So, I can't judge.

 

[kai3345]

guess im just gonna be refreshing target for the next hour

 

[spad3]

Is there a pattern to Target's availability?

We should track how often someone claims to have gotten one from Target.

Anyone sitting on their site pls post time stamp of order to help others get in.

Spoiler

I already have mine but I wanna help others get theirs

 

[Pikma]

Just a heads up for people who pre-ordered through Amazon

I just spoke with a rep and told me the orders will be fulfilled, doesn't matter that the product page was taken down/is unavailable

 

[Tahnit]

Its easier to go BROKE!!!! NO SNES FOR YOU!

IMO BAN unless he sells to gaffers at 80 U.S. Dollars and not a penny more.

 

[Boke1879]

I'm not defending anyone. But some of you are calling for a ban simply because you're upset you can't preorder a product Nintendo continues to fumble with.

He was posting because people kept saying target was OoS and he was posting that he was able to get multiple orders through.

He had a bit of fun with it that probably wasn't a good idea considering the nature of everything, but to call for someone's ban over this is pretty petty.

 

[zma1013]

I'm wondering if some others get canceled and then those are put back into the pool of available ones.

 

[M.W.]

Damn Tai Ding bot.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Jeez. Sorry, guys. Sorry again.

Hope you all find it. I'm going to give them to my friend's and family. Once I have them in my hand and they are done calling dibs, I'll give some dibs to GAF.

<3

Who has that big of a family that you needed to order that many of? Its very suspicious.

 

[A Link to the Past]

I say ban Shao Khan unless he sells all of them for $40 a piece.

TEACH HIM A LESSON

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

It's Reggie, m'dude. Dude is one of the biggest bs'ers in the biz.

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

He doesn't have to explain himself though. If I had the ability to get the number he did I would've and been able to make all my friends happy. Just because he is not telling us or selling them on GAF doesn't mean he is scalping.

 

[Afrocious]

Jeez. Sorry, guys. Sorry again.

Hope you all find it. I'm going to give them to my friend's and family. Once I have them in my hand and they are done calling dibs, I'll give some dibs to GAF.

<3

I do have to ask though: are you in the U.K.? Because your charges in your bank account make no sense either, even with faster shipping lol

 

[Hylian7]

IMO BAN unless he sells to gaffers at 80 U.S. Dollars and not a penny more.

I agree, especially when he literally said "No SNES for you"

Even if he really is just giving them to friends or whatever, he's still being a dick.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Why would he take a $40 loss

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

You want MORE RECEIPTS? Y'all be slipping if you doubt my track record.

I got 7 people confirmed to take it from me. I'll be back in this thread once the orders actually ship and I get them in my hands. Until then, I'm sorry for making you all salty as that wasn't my intention and my intention was to create awareness that keep on hitting that button on Target. Zero scripts, zero exploits, zero source code changing, zero battery.

 

[zma1013]

I know what we must do... when have to switch off our targeting computers... just like Luke... you guys go first, go ahead turn off your computers.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

I wonder what it feels like to get past the "item is now out of stock" notification on Target T_T

 

[F34R]

Hard to sympathize there. Try one at a time next time.

I'm just clicking every few minutes. When it confirmed one in cart, I went to checkout and it showed 3 in cart. Not my fault.

 

[ZugZug123]

This is such BS, I had notifications on for BBY and Amazon and never got ANYTHING from them. I'm debating canceling the unit I bought from the UK, which might get canned down the line by the vendor to avoid even more stress. Ugh....

 

[Aztechnology]

Whats the trick?

Chrome browser

F12 on page

Edit forgot an important bit: Click console on the bottom of the side window that pops up.

copy

window.setInterval(() => {
  const preOrderButton = document.getElementsByClassName('sbc-add-to-cart');
	if(preOrderButton[0]) {
		preOrderButton[0].click()
    }  
}, 5000)

paste in the console

press enter

 

[Todesritter74]

Right there with everyone on Target a couple of minutes ago.

Confirmed the card information and clicked to the final step... booted and cart emptied...

"No Sup for you!"

 

[perfectchaos007]

Your PM's about to blow up

 

[Agent_Carnage]

7 Gafers? If who then who? Post some receipts.

 

[commish]

Guys, who cares if someone got 7 orders in? Good for them. Sheesh.

 

[zulux21]

I already asked a mod yesterday and they said it's a free market and there's basically no policy against bragging repeatedly about scalping, as long as they don't specifically insult other posters.

Spoiler

I think it is mostly random but the windows were opening up every 6-10 min earlier. getting through is just going as fast as possible between adding to my cart and check out couldn't have been more than 3 seconds for me as I just quickly typed in my credit card protection code and hit confirm order without looking at anything. (everything was correct at least, but I confirmed that before getting one in my cart)

 

[Juraash]

Soul crushing, since they just take it from your cart by the time you get through checkout.

 

[joshvester]

I got one of the Walmart orders this morning because my girlfriend wanted one -- just very lucky to refresh at the right moment I suppose.

I was going to try and snag another one for my brother from a different pre-order...but it's hard seeing all these people that want one also struggling.

 

[paragonpro]

Clearly nintendo doesnt want my money for this, so
Fuck them ill get a raspberry pie, thanks for the ok nintendo

 

[Brinbe]

That target script for Chrome that GAFer posted

window.setInterval(() => {
const preOrderButton = document.getElementsByClassName('sbc-add-to-cart');
if(preOrderButton[0]) {
preOrderButton[0].click()
}
}, 5000)

worked for me. I recommend using that in a separate window and hoping for the best. I actually had two in my cart before noticing

 

[katsubento]

Why would he take a $40 loss

It a joke

 

[BFIB]

Every one of Shao Khan's posts I hear his laugh from MK2.

 

[Banjotanooki]

What does that code do?

 

[Brinbe]

What does that code do?

clicks the preorder button every five seconds on the snes page

 

[zulux21]

What does that code do?

clicks the button every 5 seconds to try to add to cart.

a much more elegant way of doing it than my autoclicker I was using

though if you want to give yourself an edge you could change the 5000 to 4000 as 4 seconds was what I had mine set to
