I got 4 ship notices yesterday but CC charged me for 8. Those mfers. I am going to file a dispute for the unshipped 4 as soon as I see movement on the 4 with tracking numbers.
A GS got a shipment of 4 today. I got the last one after 2 employess decided to buy 1. I really need to make friends with somebody that works at a game store.
They'll drop off.
Toys R us is the worse. I ordered 10, and the hold was on for almost a week. The CC charges will drop by Tuesday.

No GO at WM in Glen Ellyn, IL - I checked at 11:30 AM CST and my local GS says "Still no Fits" and they don't expect them for another TWO weeks ?!?

Hoarding for when?
getting them to tell me when is a national secret!
I have no clue, maybe someone else can find out. The stores by me are militant when it comes to giving out information.

quick question. I have a potential ebay buyer interested in a wii but she would want it shipped to a different address as a gift. Is this safe to do. My gut tells me that I should only ship to the address on the paypal, but would appreciate a second opinion.

A bunch of targets in CT are showing available, the one near me said available and went out out of stock a couple weekdays later even though they weren't on the shelves when I went. Now many of the other targets are showing available but I don't know how to get at them.

I agree..
I got 15 Fit's yesterday from TRU, 9 Mario Karts from CC, and 15 Wii's from Sam's. Used the CC and BB coupons on wii plays, nunchucks and MarioKarts... in the end I beat AMZ prices by a bunch. We also have a supermarket that give points from GC purchases that you can use for money off your gas bill. So far 2 full tanks of gas for free and I am 1/2 way to a 3rd tank all for BB and TRU GC purchases. With gas at 4 bucks a gallon and I drive a Durango that burps every time I pass a gas station this is actually working for me.

WOW...envious of that list !:nod:
Well, right now since I am going on vacation, I'm holding off on the console as I have 6 (including the 1 I did buy today from 1 TRU) and not sure how this happens but my Amex bills keeps growing and growing :D and so I need to get it down to ZERO in next couple of weeks before I go on a rampage....

I know that feeling... went on a spree this month and paid off as many CC as I could. I am preparing for this weekend to get some from target...

Put me right at $100.00 back from ebay, and over $200 back from live search.
The total profit (after 60 days) on this deal will be about $400.00.

No, these are linked to PP or ebay account and I could not get it to work.. It took it for me at first but after I logged into PayPal to complete a purchase it kicked it right out.. Also tried "CTHANKS50" but that one does not work for my account either.
On a side note... I have never seen a coupon from ebay and just realized I have my account preferences set up not to send me dicounts, coupons, etc. Doh! So be sure to check your notification preferences if you have not seen a coupon.

Hooray for FuelPerks!!
Giant Eagle is the grocery store and it is AMAZING for wii resellers. You get $0.10 off per gallon of gas (only at the grocery store's gas stations) for every $50 in grocery purchases or gift card purchases that you buy from them. They have gc's for BB, TRU, Sears/Kmart & eBay and dozens of other non wii-related places. Spend $2000 and you get a free tank (up to 30 gallons) of gas! During December, and (sometimes) once during the summer they have a 'double fuelperks' promotion where you get $0.20 off per gallon for every $50.
I'm driving on free gas right now and have 2 free tanks to look forward to :D Hint, If you want to be sneaky and take advantage of all 30 free gallons, you can get 2 cars in on one pump if there's someone around to hold the hose.

I just got a couple Wii Fits at Gamestop. Haven't been selling for a couple weeks (I asked about these and decided not to buy, but the guy really pushed them both on me so I figured oh well and bought him out). Isn't there a big release coming out on the 22nd? Should I sell these by tomorrow or list for a Sunday or Monday sale?

Guess what :)
I reported yesterday the I was able to put 2 (of 3 total 6) orders for Wii consoles at Amazon, I got the consoles today. But guess what else I got? .. I just got 3 "shipping" messages from Amazon for 3 more consoles :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: .. it seems like one of the orders for which I got error when checking out my cart was actually registered :bounce: .. I didn't get any confirmation email at all yesterday nor I noticed the order when going thru my accounts to see where my 2 confirmed orders were and what CC was used (you know for accounting purposes), so this was really a big surprise when I got those 3 emails a little while ago :).
The difference for this 3 extra consoles is that they shipped today (instead of the other 6 shipped yesterday), and they will be delivered in separate boxes each. I got to boxes of 3 each today.
This really gives me the confidence to keep improving my grabber program, I have nice new ideas for next week, I'll keep you all posted about them of course in case you still want to use it. I know there has been some issues of course after working on it for only a few hours but it will get better every week. They only problem is testing because there is only ine moment of thruth when everybody is stressing it to the max as well as amazon :lol:

target.com - 4 orders shipped.
cc.com - 8 orders shipped.
Amazon consoles - one order of 3 shipping soon.
Amazon fit - missed the boat on that one.
GS B&M - grabbed a few in the last few days. The sad part is that quite a few of GS around here still have not fulfilled their pre-orders yet. So when they got shipments today, they cannot release them to the public.
The 2 Target B&M that I know the employees at told me they don't have any Fits that they are holding, so they probably will only have Wiis on Sunday.
BB B&M - too busy to find out lately.

1 employee in one of the bay area target mentioned they are holding Wii Fit for Sunday, but did not disclose whether this Sunday or next.
same, got a confirmation they are holding wiifit for sunday

has anyone had a target employee admit to holding them in back--or state they will have on Sunday? Is it apossibility they are being held for a future ad the following Sunday?
never, ever buy 10 on a transaction at tru.com. If they end up out you are looking at an 1100 hold on your card for 5-7 days.
Nope. Had one lie to me after clerk admitted to having them. All Targets around me show in stock

Hi Guys..
I've got a situation in here..
First the buyer sends out this:
Hey, I just bought the Nintendo WII, it wont play any of the games that came with it. I went online and registered it, but what do I do now. I have it but cant use it???
and I didn't see this mail for 3 hours, after that I get this:
"I just got off the phone with Fedex. The package had had something dropped on it while it was in their possesion and it was damaged by them. They said I need to contact you and have you file a claim against them for the damage. I don't know how to proceed from here, I have never had this happen before, could you please let me know what has to happen next. I just don't know what to do. Thank you, Barbara"
This can NEVER happen, at least as far as I know. I use boxes from ULINE (which as you guys know are stronger than the ones from Target, Amazon, Best Buy etc.
Does this appear to be legitimate? How would you respond to that?
Kindly advise. Many thanks in advance.

Someone is playing games with you, how would someone at fedex know that something got dropped on it? Unless you look at tracking information and see something like package was smashed and repackaged this dude is messing with you. He must know you got declared value on the package and wants a refund and then you to process a claim with fedex to recoup your loss. Only problem is before paypal will issue a chargeback to him if he does file a claim, would be to return everything to you. Tell this guy to contact nintendo and have them fix it. Unless the box was smashed before you sent it out.

This lady sounds like the lady that ordered a Wii Fit then posted and thankfully removed (at my request) a 1-star review on Amazon saying "the disc wouldn't work with my VCR !". Try not to sound condescending but DO ASK HER if she inserted the disc correctly.;)
And I agree with WCD about it sounding fishy - I have never heard of a carrier admitting fault and yeah, how does this guy know something dropped on it?!? Sounds like a headache though. Any chance it was from a B&M store and she can exchange it herself?
Finally, if it's the disc that's not working, I would remind her that she has a FULL Warranty through Nintendo and esp. since she registered it online, it's no good to you.

In a word, "No" - due to limited supply, even wholesale clubs like Costco and Sam's Club are limiting them to "1 PER MEMBERSHIP". Sure, you could try to get more but YMMV. also, it gets so crowded on Sat that I would be afraid of being mobbed by other customers if you tried to buy more than 1 at a time.

Nintendo Wii has a known issue of disc loading. I have seen this issue in 1 out of 100 Wii's. It could be a genuine issue that she is trying to point out. But the FedEx explanation she is giving seems to be false. You can call FedEx and check with them to see if they give you the same reason. Also, you can give the buyer an option to get it exchanged from Nintendo using the warranty and if they dont agree, you have no option but to accept the package back for a full refund, because if they open a case with Paypal, Paypal will take away the amount from your account anyway.
Also as far as bearing the cost of this Wii, if you dont know from where you bought this, or dont have a receipt, if you have bought Wiis from Amazon in last 30 days, you can return any Wii back to them, they dont check Serial numbers, you will get back full refund from Amazon.Hi Guys..

Hooray for FuelPerks!!
Giant Eagle is the grocery store and it is AMAZING for wii resellers. You get $0.10 off per gallon of gas (only at the grocery store's gas stations) for every $50 in grocery purchases or gift card purchases that you buy from them. They have gc's for BB, TRU, Sears/Kmart & eBay and dozens of other non wii-related places. Spend $2000 and you get a free tank (up to 30 gallons) of gas! During December, and (sometimes) once during the summer they have a 'double fuelperks' promotion where you get $0.20 off per gallon for every $50.
I'm driving on free gas right now and have 2 free tanks to look forward to :D Hint, If you want to be sneaky and take advantage of all 30 free gallons, you can get 2 cars in on one pump if there's someone around to hold the hose.
LOL @ 'hold the hose'

I asked my mum to pop over and get me one as they showed in stock in my home town.
She has led a very protected and religious life, so what follows wasn't acting!
When they told her they didn't have any, she firmly stood her ground and said her very bright computer-literate daughter had found them in stock on line. She then asked to speak to the manager.
The manager came and sheepishly admitted that yes, they did have some, but were holding them for tomorrow. She asked if she could come on Monday and buy one, and they laughed and said they'd all be gone.
She then was outraged because that forces people to shop on Sunday -- something fundamentalist Christians are not supposed to do, because it means making other people work on the holy day of rest, and that that was morally wrong.

The manager came and sheepishly admitted that yes, they did have some, but were holding them for tomorrow. She asked if she could come on Monday and buy one, and they laughed and said they'd all be gone.
She then was outraged because that forces people to shop on Sunday -- something fundamentalist Christians are not supposed to do, because it means making other people work on the holy day of rest, and that that was morally wrong.
The manager was speechless.
No, she didn't score a Wii, but she went next door to BB and got the same story, and that manager got a faceful too!
Wow, I didn't know this. You learn something everyday. IMHO any reason to give a BB manager a faceful is a good reason. Go mom. I wonder if this is why Meijer runs deals on Saturday instead of Sunday. I saw a nun speak up at a local best buy. This was after the service people passed her back and forth a couple times without helping her. She had to tell them what's up. Imagine a real nun inside a BB, with gown and everything. The juxtaposition of good and evil. Best Buy doesn't give a **** who they piss off.

When you go to Target Inventory Site for Wii, you will notice they took away the DPCI number from there, so basically they again found out that the reseller were taking advantage of this and bugging them with InStock inquiries, so probably they took it down like they did last year.Is the Target inventory checker for the console working for anyone? Stopped working for me a couple days ago.

Target inventory checker goes down often and regularly. It might not have anything to do with resellers.

This does make sense, especially because Meijer is based out of western Michigan, a very fundamentalist Christian type place. But also, running the specials on Saturday ensures they won't have to discount things in the weekly ad much further, because they will probably be sold out by then.

Of all the targets i went to only 3 had fits and they were 4, 1, 12. I went to the 4 one first, skipped the 12 one and grabbed the 1 from the other store in hopes i could make it back to the 12 one in time. Showed up right as the last one was being sold.

Something From The Newbie.
Went to three Targets today, all had somewhere in the range of 20-30 Consoles at open.
One had a single fit.
Used the $10 off of $100 on each purchase. Two locations tried to take the coupon, but I had them read the back where it says "Limit one offer per transaction" and then pointed out that it doesn't say anything about one time use or to confiscate it. That satisfied them, and at one store I got them to ring up a fit and wii play so I could use the coupon on one transaction, and then the console on it's own transaction.

The two Targets I went to had about 20 or so consoles but no fits. Both said they had fits earlier in the week, maybe Thursday or so, but one store said they got in 2 and the other said like 10-15. I signed up for the redcard today and got 10% off the 3 consoles and 2 mario karts I managed to get. That was all the MKs they had.
Also went to two Best Buys. Got to one at opening and they had 2 consoles out and about 12 MK. Picked up another console there and two more MKs. The other BB across town didn't have anything by the time I got there. Nothing at the TRU and I didn't even try CC.

I'm obviously quite uncomfortable at this point, but don't know much about overseas shipping. Should I continue with the transaction or void it and start over? If I go through, are there any special safeguards I should take different from say shipping by UPS? Thanks in advance.

in my neck of the woods..
targets had anywhere from 24-40, most were on the higher side (I picked up 12 consoles myself)
CC had 9 still on the floor at 1PM
CC had 20 rock bands on the floor, only 1 moved before 1 pm
Rock bands everywhere, all Targets had better than 20 and ALL the clerks were complaining that it took up the back room. All reported NONE moved this morning.
One told me they got 24 on the truck Sat Night. I was on the fence on pre-ordering.. I am sort of happy I didn't.
Fit's of the 5 targets we hit.. 2 had Fit's, but only about 6-10 each, all gone within minutes of opening.
Most targets had the 1 per customer, until there was no one around.. then it was "how many do you want?" One gave me 4.
Mario Karts... BB had anywhere from a handful to one had 20.. got a handful there as well. They also hand about a dozen Rock bands.. they reported 1-2 sold by noon.
all Targets said FIT's next week, most told me that they already had about a dozen in the back room and expected 2-3 shipments during the week.

on the first day you apply/get the card - you get to use 10% off that entire day. additional coupons will be mailed to you.
on a 1000 pt "reward" (ie 10% coupon in the mail) - you can use it on ONE day (as long as its on or before expiration day)...for that ENTIRE day :)
mehul73
06-22-2008, 07:09 PM
Actually when you apply for a credit card and are approved, the system will print a slip for 10% off. On the slip it states you can pick a day of your choice until the certificate expires and it has an expiration date at the bottom of the slip, which is 30 days from the day you apply your credit card. Now if they don't put a date used on your slip you can use it again (already verified that).Where do they put the date? They have never done this with mine

Took me 8 hrs, but I managed to snag 18 consoles from 17 stores today, as well as 2 fits and quite a few karts. This was on my own and marks a new personal record. 8 consoles were with 10% off + $5 off toy coupon, plus I believe I earned another 10% off shopping day with all my purchases :) Only a few Targets had wii fits out this morning and they were all sold out (of fits) by 9am.
CC had an unusually large amount of consoles today (or an unusually low amount of customers). I would not be surprised if they are still there tomorrow. Carnival games (with a free t-shirt) was on sale at CC for $29.99 and Game Party $14.99, plus you can take 10% off if you have the gamer's club card. Not the greatest of games, but I will save these for christmas bundles :)
BB had quite a few Mario Karts available...makes me wonder why amazon can't get a shipment like that?
DEFINITELY passed on Rock Band Wii...although I did get a preorder for the complete GH4 Bundle

Only one Target in town, and they had 30. Was there at opening, only 3 of us. I asked about the fit, and said something along the lines of "I know you guys are sworn to some sort of secrecy, but you've got a pile of fits in the back that you can't sell till next Sunday, and you're not even allowed to tell me that much, are you?" She simply replied "Nope, not allowed to tell you" as she smiled and said "See you next Sunday morning."

scan is gonna be hard, having the legit coupon might be more beneficial. The barcode part of the coupon says nothing in regards to what the coupon is for only the front of it does. So you would have to photoshop the coupon together.

go to squaretrade, enroll in the careplus free plan with them. They will link to your auctions directly, so a little warranty box will show up. You can even advertise the warranties by sending mailers to people and stuff. Everything is on the squaretrade site, and remember this is free, so its not one of the things that squaretrade makes you pay to enroll in.\
