Flojomojo Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have 17 bucks, I just "bought" one. Let's see if it arrives, otherwise I will do the eBay buyer protection dance. Maybe the new seller forgot a zero or something in the listing. Maybe they are stolen, but if that were the case, wouldn't they be asking more money? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Let us know if you get a tracking number! haha Was tempted, but didn't want to deal with the hassle of filing a claim. I see the link no longer exists now... just takes you to a page full of scalpers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nesclassicmini/ Walmart got a big shipment on the 31st too for online (local too?) sales. They're coming, and they come in big bundles of them to online retailers seemingly one at a time about a week or so apart usually, but they get slammed by scalpers to keep the price artificially high as Nintendo hasn't shoved out enough to stop the abuse. It's in production no matter what scalpers or debaters want to say about it, just not good production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Maybe christmas 2017 hopefuly people will have forgotten about it. And maybe ebay will finally be ubder 60 for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Seems just enough to keep the scalpers excited and buying. Most everyone else of sound mind has moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/nesclassicmini/ Walmart got a big shipment on the 31st too for online (local too?) sales.

It's in production no matter what scalpers or debaters want to say about it, just not good production. Why don't these websites simply implement a strict one per customer address (one unit per address, not one unit per account, since a user can create multiple accounts tied to a single shipping address) policy to prevent customers using "bots" from bulk ordering these consoles? They will sell out either way, but those consoles won't be getting flipped on eBay. I swear the fact that online retailers allow bulk purchases on these items is part of the problem. And we have proof because these unscrupulous eBay dealers bragging their finds by displaying pyramids and other stacks on consoles in their homes. I can almost guarantee these were purcased using "bots". Also are stores no longer stocking consoles and just sending orders to their online stores? I haven't heard of any shipments to B&M stores since mid-January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Also are stores no longer stocking consoles and just sending orders to their online stores? I haven't heard of any shipments to B&M stores since mid-January. Hrm? Brickseek.com reported Target in my local area had some yesterday and today (this email below is from 6:11am). Heck Target is where I got mine back in February. Walmart also had some stock this past couple of weeks but I highly suspect that's where the "scalpers" live. The majority of Targets are above board and makes sure customers get them in the order they arrive. So if you see it in stock, go line up in the morning and you probably have a good chance.

ubersaurus Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Just got myself a Famicom Mini this past weekend off Amazon Japan, which had them in stock at retail price. Already arrived today! Figured that it's a reasonable alternative 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
