Lol at description..excellent, hilarious, love it.
but I don't think this belongs in the forums!
I just wanted people to refer to that forum topic the next time someone says "should be moved to forums".
:P
All good :)
Upvote if RRP triggers you
Scum
you're*
Obvious troll attempt. Low ability level
You aren't getting 20 kid.
I think it's sold out already.
Yes, we know your hatred for this device, must you neg after it's sold out?
And if you can find somewhere with stock, to purchase now, that would help actually justify your neg
'No deal' doesn't actually fall within the guidelines of voting. Never has.
I think he just hates that the post isn't following the site rules. It was posted in the correct place first, according to the site rules, and then it was moved to deals, against the site rules.
and then it was moved to deals, against the site rules.
How so?
What are the rules on neg voting? You neg things that are you as an individual do not view to be a deal.
I actually don't neg anything else - I personally don't view RRP to be a deal. So I neg it.Then people neg me and its revoked, circle of life.
What are the rules on neg voting? You neg things that are you as an individual do not view to be a deal.
No, you don't actually…
Maybe you should actually read them
@Spackbace:
I read the rules carefully and the first point says an appropriate use of neg vote is to highlight an issue with the deal.To let others know about issues with the deal, merchant or product.
I firming believe that RRP is an issue with the deal.
I was wrong to leave no explanation of the vote as per the rules but I couldn't see where it said one should not neg vote when they see the listed deal as not being one.
If I put in an appropriate comment then that is appropriate use of neg voting.
No Vote
If the deal doesn't apply to you, you don't like the company or you want to leave a warning for people about the business or deal, you can leave a comment and then not vote
@Spackbace: who is to say the deal is not for me? Same with the Breath of Wind Pre Orders.
I would purchase the NES - if it was 10-20% off. I'm not opposed to the item. I did pre-order BotW but did so from Amazon UK where the the price was more reasonable.
So only people who would actually purchase the item can vote on it? That's BS - I vote up plenty of deal that I would purchase but are good value. The Harvey Norman $35 headphones as an example where I would have made the purchase had I not bought a new set a few days ago - but as a solid deal I voted it up the chain
Vote positive if you feel the deal itself is good. This encourages the poster to share more deals as they know it's appreciated.
So how can I vote up a good deal if it is a deal I myself won't purchase but recognise it as a deal? You can't. Therefore if one should vote up a good deal if the deal is good - you equally vote down a deal because it is bad
Scalpers can go and neck themselves tbh. lmfao
Yeah sure it has
good for you
Nintendo could manufacture and release more, but lets not blame them.
They are. They have said sorry and getting it out eventually. Just takes time apparently.
Yep, we will while stock lasts less than 24hrs on every post ;)
more like less than 10 minutes
I was being generous :P
They had 250 units and it went pretty damn quick
Scalpy would've stocked up at 5 per order thoughgot one, thanks OP :)
Too much time on your hands :P
But love it!
Don't we both? ¯ _(ツ)_/¯
Thank you!
Oh my god. Your forearm is missing!!!
Thanks, managed to get one just in the nick of time!
Retail is $99.95 so this is 4c above RRP so the haters can now say it's above RRP.
I'm sorry but I couldn't understand how this console is better than the $99 Xbox 360 bundle posted earlier? Can anyone explain?
You wouldn't understand only the people that where there will :)
I still have an original. In THE BOX!
Who said it's better? The other deal has over 3 times the amount of votes.
I got one the last time target had stock thanks to a oz b post. Was so excited wanted one since launch, and it's just sitting there. Played it the day I got it and that's it. So if you are fanging hard for one. Just wait. The excitement lasted less than a few hours once I got mine. Although it does look cool etc.
This is what happens. That nostalgia is great until you realise the memories are better.
What's your highest score on galaga? Maybe we can start a forum post with highest scores.
I should start it so for a brief second I can claim No.1 spot.
please ban this product
RRP or gtfo lol
hi broden
Don't appear to be going for much more than 150/160 on eBay
Tale out all the fees and post etc not overly worth it.
i sell nes mini's to feed my family
i know someone who sold one with extra controller just today for $250.. but average does seem to be around 150-180 per console on ebay now.
i sold two consoles only today for $150 each
Like house prices I call BS on how much real demand there is for this vs. demand on people just hopping on the Broden-bandwagon
Interesting watching these topics anyway lol :P
can we take this off the front page now?
Why?
It could hang around on the front page for days.
Normally only 2 days worth of deals remaining the front and page.
Hmmm…..
Nope
My Account -> Settings -> Deals -> "Do not show expired deals". Tick the box
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/180449/edit/dealsThanks.
Oh boy, another bs bargain.
Oh boy, another bs neg vote with no sound reasoning.
How is this a deal?
Find me a cheaper price with the product in stock
@Spackbace: thats the standard price and i doubt it will ever be cheaper because they sell out before it can go on sale.
@Spackbace: It may not be in stock today but it has been posted about five times now in the past two weeks, always at or very very close to RRP. Maybe it was a bit of a joke back last year but the "ozStock" remarks starting to feel pretty relevant given how often the item is being listed at its standard price of late.
But what happens every time it becomes available…? It sells out.
This is a product that is in hot demand and is selling out within hours of going live, if not minutes. It could probably actually have a higher RRP if it wanted to.
It's clearly defined in the voting rules - "Not a bargain" etc is not a valid reason for negging. Mods are obviously just seeing if the community will neg vote the comment enough to revoke the vote. It's clearly there in the rules, if you don't think it's a bargain, then just move on. Nothing saying you have to click into a deal if you're not interested in the product.
@Spackbace: Well I didn't vote but in the past they have allowed negs stating the item (including this one) being listed at RRP isn't a bargain, should anyone wish to make that vote.
I'll leave it at that; but I do think there's channels for people to keep their ears close to the ground and get early notification if they're still chasing stock.
sound reasoning is a swift kickbox to the head mate
Umm what?
sucks having a life, always miss out on the best deals.
Fighting urge
There needs to be a forum for when 250 units are released every couple of days.
OzRRP+SHIP.com haha
*.com.au
I can't wait until more of this enters the market and the hungry little trolls who grabbed all the units with their grubby little hands with only the sole intention to sell it at much inflated prices all lose out.
Exactly what happened with the Porsche lego.
And the Gold Mario amiibo figures.
Its already happening. Nintendo have already won. They're laughing to the bank at how all the supposedly 'bargain professionals' have easily fallen for their artificial market demand trick and actually think RRP is now a bargain. Maybe this can be a future marketing strategy since it exposes how gullible OzBargainers can be (cough kogan cough).
People been saying that since november :D
Interesting how a few months ago the regular RRP GTX1080/70 deals received no criticisn at all, but nintendo deals on the other hand…
Sheeple
Those graphics cards where priced BELOW RRP that is why. When you can purchase a good for less than retail stock and save money - that makes it a deal.
When you are trying to buy a product at the sales price that is not.
I assume when you want to buy a car you would go to the car sales person and say - geeze I would love to pay sticker price on this car. What a bargain
I meant the rrp 700usd 1080s and 440usd 1070s that we saw >10 front page deals on initially
e.g. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/256365
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/253555450usd is significantly above RRP for a non-founders card. Sure, aus sellers were scalping it for close to au$1000 (jut like how NES sellers are currently scalping), but unlike the NES which is at RRP, many of the cards were above
Those arguably where deals because when you compared the price of the item to local stock such as PC Case gear they were $100+ cheaper than local stock.
The argument you raise it that was is acceptable for manufacturers to sell their GPUs above nvidoas MRRP and the price of the FE editions. Well that was a suggested price by NVIDIA and we saw cards with worse features and worse cooling price below the FE but most of the GPUs had superior cooling and some had RGB etc. Whilst I don't give a shit about RGB this is a value add for many people. So all of those cards did sell at the US RRP (which were high than FE MRRP) with no discount but due to the infamous Australia tax - it ends up being cheaper than buying local by $100+ - which I would say makes it a deal.
The situation would be similar if this post was for the NES from say Amazon UK if they use the same volts as AUD - and it was their RRP of say 40pounds and due to the ER it ends up costing an Australian $90 saving them 10bucks.
Then sure.
I still dont really understand, it seems like you are fine with posting deals of the cards above RRP because it has 'value', but then its not ok for NES deals to be posted because 'its at RRP.'
I just don't see a problem with both items being posted, both are in-demand items with limitied stock available, so it's a deal if its the cheapest available, regardless if you are saving by buying from Australia/US/UK.
@lyl: there is a clear distinction. Does the deal save the consumer money buying it new from the primary market and not the secondary used market.
If the answer is yes and the amount is material either in dollar or as a percentage then I see it to be a deal. If the answer is no - then all that is a post about restocking an item that does not provide the consumer with any benefit outside of the ability to make the purchase.
It is about consumer surplus in a real sense. How much did I save relative to how much the market tells me I should spend, as opposed to a fictitious notion of consumer surplus - how much did I save by buying the good at full price and saving meyself from paying an inflated price on the secondary market.
GPU PC Case gear 750
GPU Amazon including shipping 600
GPU eBay Australia 700The Amazon is a deal as it is cheaper than local, the eBay is not as they have just ordered it off Amazon and tried to steal away $50 of the buyers consumer surplus
NES at Target 100$
NES at CotD $99+shippingNo deal
Seems logical to me
Interesting discussion haha

Are you just saying that its cheaper than ebay? NES is also getting scalped.
If the answer is yes and the amount is material either in dollar or as a percentage then I see it to be a deal. If the answer is no - then all that is a post about restocking an item that does not provide the consumer with any benefit
All the GPU deals were above RRP at that time, you're only saving as opposed to local stock. The first GPU deals were about the item being in stock e.g. Ive seen in many deals that people comment on how the deal the day before was better, but thanked the OP as they purchased regardless because it was in stock.
Sure the NES cant be purchased cheaper overseas, but it is still considerably cheaper than where ebay, so many who are after it ASAP will consider it a genuine saving
NES at Target 100$
NES at CotD $99+shippingTarget was out of stock at time of posting this deal.
Why are you compaing retailers rather than local V amazon V ebay? What about amazon V newegg, they were selling cards at similar prices?
If someone is after a NES ASAP, I think its a good idea by helping them out alerting them to these restocks, as the current market price seems much higher than just $100.
@lyl: in my comment I was making a distinction between primary market - and secondary market.
The primary can have any seller - sure if new egg sold it cheaper then go there. It is not about brand loyalty.
The opposite argument, the scaping one is about the classic fear of missing out. If I don't buy it now I will get charged more in the secondary market - eBay.
The GPU examples were all comparing primary markets - local seller, international first party seller. Sure all were at RRp for their respective markets but accessing international markets allowed Australian to save on their purchase.
So for example if the post was
gtx1070 - Amazon AUD $600 delivered
The next day gtx1070 new egg $595 deliveredWhilst local stock were at $750+
I see this as a deal the price savings of $150 is significantNow I would neg the following
PC Case gear $750 gtx 1070
With the next day mwave $750 for gtx 1070So it is isn't on discount and it is the cheapest 'new and primary' price the card has been sold for.
You saw many GPU posts about saving money by buying OS - I didn't see a single post about restocking local GPUs
So just to finalise my point. The local RRP was 750. The international RRP was $600. If buying OS saved you against the local RRP then that to me is a deal.
If steam has ebay for $50aud and Nuveem has it for $25aud - it doesn't matter if the $25 is the RRP for Brazil - it is still 50% off a local purchase - so in my opinion a deal
Consumer savesSo the only thing that makes it a deal was because there was local stock was more expensive, okay
…Why would you neg PCCG again, is it because it was higher than RRP? In that case, Amazon was also above RRP. Unless its evga, local is much better for warranty, so many prefer paying more than local.
You saw many GPU posts about saving money by buying OS - I didn't see a single post about restocking local GPUs
You also saw many OS GPU posts which were about restocks, as i said in my comment above.
You didnt see much about restocking local GPUs at first because they were always in stock and scalping. soon the ebay sales came with decent prices closer to RRP, and then you saw many ebay GPu deals.
I think weve agreed to disagree by now, but until I no longer think its a deal, I will pos vote NES deals. Also btw Ozbargain has voting bans if you have 3 negs revoked in a 3 month period, so be wary
@lyl: thanks for the warning. I did see it in the rules yesterday.i am certain I am above the 3 neg threshold now so I expect to not be able to vote for 3 months. Which is fine because the neg votes were revoked anyways.
Agree to disagree
