Title: Missus wants blue sparks! WTB: Gamecube and doubledash.
Post by: SpamMe on January 08, 2004, 06:08:08 pm
Preferably together, but seperate would be fine too (will need the console before I buy the game, tho).
Please PM with offers (including shipping to the 95060 zip code), payment will be by non-cc paypal.

Please note:  "How much will you pay me for x" is not an offer.  :)

Why don't you just go to a Gamestop or something and buy them? I would imagine that those are a tad too new to expect any great deals on.

Nearly impossible to find a gamecube new or used in my area at this time (for whatever reason). Made a pretty good deal on another forum for one (plus controllers, games, memory pack, etc.), but still need Double Dash. :)

Last time I was in Wal-Mart they had gamecubes for under $100.

It was actually the day after xmas when I was in there (I know for sure because I was in there spending a gift card). There was a stack of gamecubes in the electronics section. I'm thinking they were marked for something like $90, but I only glanced at the display.

I'd try asking at a service desk or something. Around this tie of year, a lot of retail places are just struggling to get enough employees to come to work - let alone getting all the stock out on the shelf. They could very possibly have a box of what your looking for in the back.

Today is the last day you can do this but Target has Madden 2004 for the PC on sale for 15 bucks which you could probably care less about but if you get a rain check it says you can get 63% off another item of the same type.  I've already gotten Man Hunt, Prince of Persia, EyeToy, Viewtifull Joe, and Wario Ware for only $85 (with tax) if you bought all that retail it would be about $240. I was going to buy Mario Kart DD to but they were sold out at 5 different stores.

But anyway get the rain check then get your game and they would give you the 63% off.  At one target I went to a manager type guy said I coudnt do it because Madden was a pc game and the rest I was buying were console games but I just went to another target and it worked fine.  You shouldnt have to worry if there is a teenager there because they dont know or care about it.


EDIT:

You cant do the above deal anymore becuase Madden is no longer on sale but I'm sure you could swing somthing similar if they ever have a game real cheap and are sold out again.
