So $350 or $350 + taxes? If it's just $350 then that's only a $32 markup (6% sales tax here). That's not bad at all. I'd pay that if I really wanted one..

$370. $300 + tax = $321, so add $50 to that. It's not the worst, but it's still high.

E: I want one before I have to leave town for continuing education on the 26th. So that's 2 weeks. I would hope that stock will be available before then?

If Nintendo wasn't shipping any more consoles until November, it would kill the entire console. Either GameStop is bullshitting to sell bundles or they're severely misinformed.

And if a "Nintendo rep" was giving out this info to multiple GameStops, how on earth hasn't this leaked to news outlets already?
 
Heads up, if anyone wants one, I'm selling a Black/Gray one for $335-340 in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread. Just trying to recoup the cost + shipping and tax. I pre-ordered two and forgot to cancel the second.

Looking like it's sold.

My friends in Philly, Toys R Us have just stocked up on grey switches. Just passed buy picked up one with a pro controller, and a neon joy con set. They say they have plenty more in stock, shipment just arrived. They have a few accessories as well (around 5 pro controllers). Good luck!

Which ones?

Yeah, I'd say 50 or less, especially if no tax, is more of a convenience fee than a gouging by scalper.
 
I checked like 6 or 7 walmarts in my area and none had a single Switch in stock. Most accessories gone as well. Might be a bit before I get one of them I think.

I'm in NYC and i called the local gamestop and a couple of local stores and the consensus is that they will have a second shipment in the second week of April. Nintendo gonna Nintendo. I have a friend on the west cost who would see me one $400 shipped. He only has 2 left.

Saw some people with big bags from the NYC Nintendo store when I was out to lunch.

Maybe they have Switch units?
Click to expand...

They still have some, look like they are for preorders tho. I was there this afternoon and saw people with big bags, but I asked and they have no consoles.

I mean... I got a big bag and all I bought was a joycon set, a pro controller, a case, and an amiibo.

You mean accessories? They had the neon blue/red joy cons, travel cases, pro controllers, straps and a few others I didn't really focus given how glad I was I finally found a unit.

This is either the biggest troll post in the history of neogaf or you need to read a little better for context lol.

Yeah he is a friend i game with a lot and he makes some money doing this. I'd call him an opportunist. Given that most online retails/resellers are charge more and plus shipping and considering the normal price is around $325 with tax I guess $400 is not that bad for someone who really wants one now. I don't think there will be any stock until at lease a month from now.

Probably meant which TRU location. I know the Cottman Ave store still had one or two last weekend when I was there buying accessories.

Just popping in to say that when I went to Gamestop yesterday to check on new systems I said "So what's the Switchuation on Switches coming in?"

He laughed and said he was going to use that from now on...and yes I came up with that all on my own!
 
So amazon.es just told me that they forgot to ship it as they didn't see that my payment went through....

Looks like it. I just randomly decided to check, and sure enough they say it'll get here by 8pm tonight.

Sweet can you send the bbwcongaline over to me while you are playing it?

I like em with curves.

How do you check local prime?
Click to expand...

Its their same day service that sends a courier with your package.

Oh I see. Unfortunately they don't deliver to my area yet.

Do you work in NYC (im going by your username)? You can have them deliver it to you at work.

Yeah I do but there isn't any stock around here. Looks like I will just have to wait until the next allocation, which is fine cause I don't really have time to play all these games I have, but I always itch for new hardware to mess with. I have an addition.
 
Called 6 gamestops near me. Half tried swinging the "pre-order" for online bundle. Like, I legit feel they are holding stock to push those bundles now. Before I thought it was just hearsay and pessimism, but the standard sounding script of how they rattled it off made me believe it was legit policy to hold that shit back for online order of bundles.

BotW will remain sealed for another few weeks I suppose.

I don't think that is the case. If you preorder at gamestop now it will arrive beginning of April. I called a couple of well know mom and pops and they are all telling me the same so I'm assuming that is when Nintendo will be sending out the second allocation.

They ARE using this opportunity to force some bundle sales, which is kind of douche.

Where is the thread? If the sale falls through and opens up again I'd be interested!
 
I missed out on a Amazon Warehouse Deals one for $250 by literally seconds in the checkout. Was listed as "Very Good" in the description which usually means either like new or a few dings on the box with them. Damn. Keep your eyes peeled there.

Not to keep harping but since you are unfamiliar with NOW, what they have in stock constantly changes, so even if they don't have it now, it could pop up tomorrow morning. You seem to be okay with not getting one right away, but if you really have the fever, check it a few times throughout the day and you may get lucky.

The BST thread.

But I am going to send him money as soon as he clarifies one thing. That said, if I happen to see one this weekend, I'll pay it forward and grab it for a GAF member in need and sell it at cost as well.
 
FireRises said:
lol wtf. How are you talking to them, via email or chat?
Click to expand...

Chat.

They tried to charge me after the inital payment went through. The second charge declined since I didnt authorize it, but they didnt realize I had already paid...

They were just looking at the most recent declined charge.

They guaranteed me it is shipping today, but it was originally supposed to arrive today...

*Bangs keyboard*

The chat people keep ending our conversations too... I just want to get refunded my shipping since I paid for expedited delivery.

So, wait...they tried to double charge you and the second payment was declined, so they didn't send you your item? What if it hadn't been declined, you would have just been charged twice? Get it together Amazon.es.
 
I'll be doing some shopping with the wife tonight. If I see one, I'll snag it and post here if someone wants to pay me for it + shipping.
