you local target may or may not have select wii u titles on clearance

bayonetta 2, hyrule warriors and xenoblade x have all been discounted to between $9-$30

i just picked up hyrule warriors for $18 lol

you can check for availability and pricing of any game in target's inventory here: http://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker/?sku=207-30-0045

^^^ lol this is what i was referring to in my last post. i decided not to do it because brickseek is only marginally accurate and i didnt feel like arguing with a target employee to drop the price at 10 at night at a target 25 miles from my apartment if it was still marked at 30 and not 17 lol might swing by the one in the city this week if they dont sell the couple copies they have before i get around to it but that target is a fucking shithole

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i didn't want to risk wasting my time either so i just gave them a call to confirm what i saw on brickseek

i got the last copy lol

[squirrelfriend]

is that financial scheme even feasible though? what if nintendo drops the price right before you sell it on eBay. and you wasted your precious time on the beltway and money on the games and HOV toll 4 nothing

i guess i could do that but i imagined getting through the phone tree to someone who would actually check the box to make sure it's marked down would take for god damned ever, did it take for god damned ever?

i mean i'd be going to wheaton so no HOV tolls and i could make about $13-$18 in profit x4 assuming the price doesn't radically drop in the next 24 hours, i'd spend about 6 bucks total in gas to get there and back so probably worth, besides the obvious time waste for a game i don't really give a flying fuck about besides having link on the cover lol

also this would be much more appealing had i not bought bayonetta 2 at launch for MSRP (played like an hour of it lol, tho it was version with the first game) and xenoblade like 3 weeks ago for like 27 bucks lol

it wasn't as painful a process as i expected it to be

'uh helo mr. target do you have hyrule w-worriers for wii u'

'lemme check yeah sure bro it's even on clearance for $18'

'alright thanks'

though it did take around ten minutes to finally get a hold of someone

[squirrelfriend]

I use the IP relay to do this task for me

that's about half way of what i expected i guess i can try if they still have stock on friday lol, they have 5 right now.

my worst box store experience was best buy the day monster hunter 3 ultimate came out. i preodered that shit just cuz i had some gamerclub bucks or whatever so i was stuck buying it there for like $15 off. there was shipping isuses when that shit came out and i wasn't sure they had it on launch day. i called, took over 20 minutes between 3 transfers for this woman to say "uhhh yeah we...have it i think yeah it's here...yeah" so i drover 15 minutes over to the nearest best buy and what do you know they didnt have the game gee

i havent called ANYWHERE SINCE

this is why I at least, ask customers if they want me to hold the item.

This is how I imagined what happened after Cmongler called:
*hangs up*
Gee, what a dickhead. *Sells game*

ok, those other games look pretty shit, but i can at least vouch for cook serve delicious and ink
those two alone are certainly worth pay what you want $1

Doesn't everyone use Unity these days? What games have been made in GameMaker?

[squirrelfriend]

I think Unity takes more effort than your average low effort Gamemaker game

i literally just asked if they had received the game yet since i heard they were having issues getting the 3ds version, and i wanted to just make sure they had it before i drove over and if not no worries, and then i got kind of snickered at for saying "monster hunter" lol but sure
