Twisted Metal (PS3) + Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller Ultimate Combo Pack $40 + Free Shipping

Quote from dealstorm : Enjoy that cameo controller while it's around, because that will be brief.

I see what you did there, clever.

Quote from anewdayrising79 : This is a good deal, but I'm just gonna let it go. I already have two controllers and I don't care about this game at all.

Smart guy, resisting a so-so game and a so-so deal. I like your self control, a lot more people on this site need that as well as myself.

Quote from scb435 : I think there are a lot of exaggerations about CL flips in SD threads. And people do have a way of leaving out sales tax/gasoline/ebay fees/paypal fees/shipping in their calculation of how much they "made" on their big Ebay flip. As far as unloading games when they are featured as a flash deal or deal-of-the-day, you have to be quick. The market for titles like KZ and TM on Ebay is not that big, it won't take much of an increase in supply (i.e. 20-30 flippers) with panicked sellers willing to keep dropping their asking price every other day (sound familiar) to totally send the market price of the game into the crapper, to the point where you will be lucky to net much more than $10 after fees/shipping. That's what will happen with TM in short order. And the Ebay price won't go back up, it's probably due for a MSRP cut anyway. Even if you are quick to list, sometimes it just blows up on you.

THIS.


To clarify, I listed TM @$30 on Craigslist at 9:15 AM (CST) yesterday, just after I placed my pickup order. I got a reply about noon, and I had sold it off by 3:00 PM, ~2 miles from my home, meeting the guy at a place I was already going to be, so no additional fuel cost. I literally picked it up at Best Buy, ripped the game out of the bundle box, and handed it over minutes later in front of the nearby Gamestop. Talk about your cash and carry!


To put things in perspective though, it really just worked out for me. I just remembered that I hadn't deleted the CL post yet, and 24 hours later, I haven't gotten any emails from anyone other than the original guy. So don't go into something like this EXPECTING a specific amount. I would have been happy with the controller at $25, so if necessary, I could have come down on the game another $10 easily and been happy (in fact, that was my original plan if the guy had tried to haggle).


They're not all easy money makers, and it's especially difficult for everyone to make money on one deal. There's a reason the stores do markdowns.

Even with how it worked out for me, I don't see anybody having any problem flipping the game locally for 20 bucks, so I'd say ~25 or less with tax is pretty slick deal for a new controller. The same goes for the game, so-so or not, after selling the controller for 30-35 dollars brand new.

Best Buy still offers the 100% Trade-in bonus offer, Confirmed at Pleasant Hill Best Buy in CA. Check online at bestbuy.com for how much your game is worth in trade in, then they will double that offer.
:-D
I returned killzone trilogy that came with the cameo controller for $22 !! I dont like the controllers of the game and the player responses seem delayed so I'd rather just stick to COD or MW. Much more smoother.

If you don't want your Twisted Metal game, PM me

Quote from aeron7 : Thanks! The x button on my original controller is now sticking, so I could use a new controller! In for 1!

Friend had the same problem. Bought him a new controller and told him no more porn watching. No more sticky buttons.

Quote from Microtubule : Friend had the same problem. Bought him a new controller and told him no more porn watching. No more sticky buttons.

Lol, why not take the controller apart and wipe the area with alcohol wipes...takes 10 minutes at most.

In for 1 and repped.
Was waiting for the price on Twisted Metal to drop, can use the extra controller, win/win!

Quote from paayter : not really hard to find a deal on ps3 controllers.more frequent then xbox, especially with these bundles

Well when 1 of my controllers broke i could not find a deal at all and had to pay the full... Its when i dont need 1 is when i find a deal ALL the time

lol kno wat u mean playa

I got mine in the mail last night. I have an older PS3, and I lost my controller charge cable. I wanted to start playing the PS3 again, and figured this is a good game, 2nd controller, and I could use the cable to charge both....nope. No cable in the box.

Still like it. Looks like a cool controller. I just need to buy a cable to be able to use it. No big deal. Just a surprise.

Why not find a spare camera cord? I found a Sony DSC cord laying around that uses the same connector as this PS3.
