No it couldn't have.

Honestly, 160 seems to by the high range for sold listings on eBay. So you did well if so. I expect prices to fall too in the coming weeks if Nintendo does indeed ship more of them and in a timely manner. So well done TC on getting what you got for it.

I saw initial listings selling for $200 and up so I got ambitious, but after not selling it all on Friday I adjusted it for Saturday. Got 3 offers and the eventual purchase all in 5 minutes.

Plus consider that one of those businessman scalpers would've just added it to his tower that he proudly shows off on Craigslist.

The Nintendo World Store so far has been getting large new shipments daily. It's only one store, but you couldn't get an NES there ever basically last year. Pretty clear they're shipping and producing way more this go around. It'll eventually trickle to other retailers.

It took me three separate occasions to get an NES from there earlier this year and they would only give you an hour warning before they would sell some that day. I like Nintendo NY but definitely not for having these things.

Yeah for sure. I remember I went there for the launch of the Wii. There was no vibe whatsoever even with tons of people camping out and waiting. For some reason too I feel like the pick up time was at like 5am for some strange reason. I remember waking up early and going to get my preorder. Literally just stood in the cold, was handed a bag with it by the time I made it inside and left. The most boring launch ever. Never did it again there.

That said, the clothes and stuff they have for sale are nice.

Yep, Nintendo NY is a great store assuming you're not looking to buy something like the NES/SNES/3DS from it. Then it becomes an icon of resentment.

They didn't take advantage of anyone. They're just overly cautious, and it's hard to blame them after the Wii U and Gamecube. Plus, they very actively sold a lot more, and they intend to sell even more. Every single Target in the US had at least 25 units, and as much as several hundred, and that's just one store chain.

And the second part of your post is just you deflecting. Him taking advantage of others just means you're just as bad as people like him who you seem to be criticizing.

I said sorry not sorry in the OP, my "deflection" is explaining why this happens to Nintendo stuff and Nintendo only

And pretty much every Nintendo product has been a hard-to find one on launch except for the Wii U, I don't believe them whatsoever when they say they'll make more until I see them in the stores. The motherfucking 3DS was out for almost 6 years last year and that one was exposed to scalping too. It took about half a year for them to stabilize the Switch stock, and in places like Japan they have bloody raffles just to be able to buy one. What makes you think this will be any different than last year?

For sure. it makes sense for scalpers who stocked up to hold on to em if they can't sell em, to see if they can some more out of them come last minute holiday shopping. Worse case scenario they'll break even.

The issue with waiting until the holidays is that if Nintendo is in fact gonna have enough as they promised yeah okay then it'll be likely a loss if sold on eBay

Look at all the moron scalpers who have loads of Switches that they have to bundle now in order to sell

I just a listing on eBay where the a Switch sold for $301 lol, after FeeBay gets their cut you actually lost $30

TBH I played most of these games on the GBA first so it feels a little odd since a lot of them are inferior in terms of content/features

The overall experience is great though

It's like you didn't even read my post. They have already proven themselves in trying harder. The 25 to several hundred units as opposed to the ~25 max units for the NES is literal proof.

Piss off buddy, you're looking for an angle and I'm not about to give you it. Shame too, I normally agree with you on things, but nothing gets in the way of RIGHTEOUS KARMA with you? Either way, returning things you bought from Amazon =/= scamming them and all the disagreement in the world from you or him won't change that.

So how does my scalping relate to anything regarding the Amazon ban, which of course is completely exaggerated by the fucks who still (wrongly) remember me complaining about it? Scalpers run free on Amazon with no reprisal, maybe you should get pissy at them too.

There are loads of detailed tutorials on YouTube thanks to the interest, anyone can build one nowdays

Personally I feel it's pointless since if you have a Wii/Wii U you already have a suitable Raspberry Pi

I'm pissy because I responded in some way other than praising you price gouging? That makes no sense. A majority of scalpers are dicks, but I have neither the time nor the will to call out every single one of them. I just saw this topic after seeing you brag about taking advantage of people before so I just called you out this time.

It's that simple, and ironically you keep acting as if I care so much when you're the one seemingly whining and acting as if you're wrongly persecuted or some shit.

Nah, you saw the Amazon thing and tried to put two and two together even though it's like fitting a square peg in a round hole; the Amazon thing has nothing to do with me scalping an extra SNES to pay for my own.

I personally can't stand anyone who brings that up here because it's fueled by complete bullshit

There's no explanation about it TC. You got banned from Amazon. You said it was because you got faulty screen protectors you returned 2-3 times.

That doesn't just happen unless you're out to screw them over. The algorithms to detect these things is for abuse, not a few faulty products.

It's extremely hard to get banned. Just go post your story on reddit.com/Amazon or the Amazon official forums, who deal with bans 24/7 and watch them call you a liar like everyone on CE did.

It's like you coming and going "I carefully explained how I broke the speed of light" and everyone knowing it's bullshit no matter what because something with mass can't just break the speed of light.

You act like it's unheard of though

https://www.techwalls.com/amazon-ban-return-too-many-items/

Here's a guy who also bought a lot of stuff and returned a few things and still got B7 for it. It's not something seen by human eyes, it's an algorithm like you said, and it's stupid how they won't double check it because of it.

I buy screen protectors that are broken out of the box. I also own a lot of devices that could use a screen protector. I'm obviously not gonna keep them. Sometimes they also don't go on right. I talk to the distributor but it still has to go through Amazon.

At this point they said I could make another account, but my sister has Prime so I just go through that.

This whole spectacle has actually caused me to go naked with most of my devices now (except the Switch), and they look and feel better as a whole overall.

There's no explanation about it TC. You got banned from Amazon. You said it was because you got faulty screen protectors you returned 2-3 times.

That doesn't just happen unless you're out to screw them over. The algorithms to detect these things is for abuse, not a few faulty products.

It's extremely hard to get banned. Just go post your story on reddit.com/Amazon or the Amazon official forums, who deal with bans 24/7 and watch them call you a liar like everyone on CE did.

It's like you coming and going "I carefully explained how I broke the speed of light" and everyone knowing it's bullshit no matter what because something with mass can't just break the speed of light.


You act like it's unheard of though

Here's a guy who also bought a lot of stuff and returned a few things and still got B7 for it. It's not something seen by human eyes, it's an algorithm like you said, and it's stupid how they won't double check it because of it.

I buy screen protectors that are broken out of the box. I also own a lot of devices that could use a screen protector. I'm obviously not gonna keep them. Sometimes they also don't go on right. I talk to the distributor but it still has to go through Amazon.

At this point they said I could make another account, but my sister has Prime so I just go through that.

This whole spectacle has actually caused me to go naked with most of my devices now (except the Switch), and they look and feel better as a whole overall.

That's been passed around for years of one guy (despite the article saying 8/4/17, it's old as fuck). Everybody seems to quote him when trying to say they didn't do anything wrong.

They go by $ value, so if screen protectors caused you to get banned, then it was at an abusive level and you weren't buying anything else. I've returned tons of shit in the $100s range and have never been banned, but a few $2 screen protectors put you over the edge?

Plus he got it lifted easily. You however had a few people here even helping you get back and Amazon still told you to fuck off at the highest level.

Also they don't ban and then turn around and go "go ahead, open a new account". Then you're not really banned, in which case the original account should still be accessible, which it's not.
