I only have regular yarn Yoshi (the one that came with Yoshi's Wooly World).
Musynx - $26.66
Superbeat Xonic - $26.66
FF11 - $10.50
Shadow of the Colossus - $26.67
All games I'd get next to nothing for going the Kijiji route.
Total is very similar to what I paid for each originally, haha. Paid off Anthem and put some money down on Death Stranding. I'm digging deep here because everything else imminent (like until Christmas) is completely paid off already taking advantage of trade in deals. EB is crazy. If you are patient and keep your eyes open, $$$$$.

When a game is super new, or you can utilize one of their promotions, EB can give more than fair value for your games. Especially when the option is to either drive there and unload a bunch of games instantly, or deal with individual kijiji.craigslist sales that could take an unknown amount of time to sell (if there are any biters at all), and it's no contest. The only time I'll default to Kijiji/Craigslist is if it's a game that just released, and I know the demand is high and I can sell it for like $20 less than retail. But for older games? Fuck that, my time is much more valuable than the extra $5 I may or may not get.
Has anyone ever sold anything on Ebay? If I can get the 500 Million PS4 I'm probably gonna sell my current ps4 on Ebay. Kijji has been too much of a hassle lately.
I know I should NOT accept paypal otherwise I'm treated as an "Ebay store", but how do I make sure the prospective buyer doesn't claim to have not received he package/do a chargeback?

Well, I just went balls in on buying a new PC, so I'm out of any possible PS4 buying. Good luck to the rest of you though!
Its up if you care. Almost pulled the trigger then talked sense into myself.

Yeah, even for me to sit on it I just dont think I have the interest right now lol not at $723. Hopefully those that really want it can get one though.
wow still up on walmart.ca guys, and ebgame too, hmmm maybe this won't be so hard to find, it is pretty fucking expensive tho
its gone now
its gone now
Thank you sir.
The buttons are active, but if you try to process it, you get an out of stock message. Walmart didn't seem to have a limit either unlike EB.
Do not jump onto eBay selling with console sales. Sell some smaller stuff first so you at least have a clue about what you're doing.
I don't know of any way to opt out of Paypal. Maybe there is now that eBay takes credit cards directly, but the chargeback system is the same regardless.
That's exactly what happened to me. Some scalper probably bought the whole stock, Oh well...
Immediate buyers remorse, and knowing I'd not want to take it out of the box made me cancel my WalMart order, so maybe it'll show up shortly for you to grab.
I know a lot of people use the Anker portable chargers on here so I was wondering which one you would recommend getting for travel?

I'm not sure I really need the USB-C extra for charging the Switch.

I have a good mix of cables. If USB-C isn't a requirement I will go with the cheaper one. Thanks.
Looks like it's sold out there.
What a gong show. Luck is with whoever managed to get one!
Yup, I was able to order one on the french site, then cancelled when I realised I won't have the money lol.
You could have ordered it only in two ways: through the mobile link or the french site. The english site link went live after it was sold out!
Haha I can't believe it's such a problem given how many times they've had these limited edition purchases yet their site seems to die....
A friend of mine passed away a few months ago who owned the Personal Computer Museum in Brantford. Tomorrow at 8am I'm helping with a Garage Sale of excess items from the collection. There will be gaming items, TVs and a variety of other objects.
If anyone wants to show up here are the details:
8AM
13 Alma St
Brantford, Ontario
N3R 2G1

I'm disgusting.
I bought the 500 mil edition ps4 and the special edition senran kagura from LRG all in one day.
I need a shower...

You were friends with Syd Bolton? I posted about his death in this thread when it happened in June. Really sad.
Yes I was. I spent a lot of time with Syd over the years and worked with him on several video projects. He was one of the most knowledgeable people I knew in the video game space. I've been assisting his family with his video game collection ever since he passed away.
Before he passed away we worked together on an experimental video to capture his game collection in a new method:
When items came into the museum he would set them aside for me to spend additional time with:
Syd helped in capturing footage of the first Nintendo video game system:

He would regularly donate and share items from his collection to be featured on the channel:

This is just a small scope of Syd's influence and work on my channel. He had a huge impact on the Canadian video game community not only as a collector but as a curator of computer and gaming history. For me though, I'm gonna miss him as a Friend.

Honestly, Hollow Knight is possibly the least expensive, extremely high quality, longest game ever released so nobody should be upset about whatever they paid for it.
I actually found the Joy con controller shell thingie to be best. With the Pro controller I couldn't help but gravitate towards the analog stick... and then die horribly.
Has anyone here had anything delivered through Apple Express before? I ordered something from Amazon US and it was shipped through Landmark who then shipped it locally through Apple Express. It's been on the vehicle for delivery since 8am this morning, so I'm just trying to get a sense of how reliable this company is for timely deliveries.
Where did you buy them? Aliexpress? the shells on Amazon are so damn pricey...
Very cool to see this. Syd was a friend as well, and I was as shocked as anyone to hear of his sudden death. Every visit to the PC Museum was a magical trip through Willy Wonka's!
Wait, theyre closing the pc museum? Might have to make that trip down
In case people are still wanting it, Ridley is back in stock again.

The 20th anniversary edition was the same price at $499 USD, it wasn't a Pro (didn't exist yet) and didn't have a 2TB HDD, this is more bang for the buck than the 20th anniversary one was.
Does anyone here have experience with buying refurbished from Newegg? There's a monitor I have my eye on, but I'm worried about the quality of it/dead pixels/bleeding on the screen. How's their return policy with refurbished monitors?
