EB Games have put the $399 price on their eBay store and this can be combined with the current "POINTY" code, not the cheapest ever, but still a good price, and even better if you can combine with the recent 10% off cards!
Grey here.
Original POINTY 10% off Sitewide on eBay Deal Post thanks to TA
As always, enjoy!
They were, until eBay took it off their listings, so you should actually be saying "(profanity) YOU EBAY".. eBay decides who's plus and who isn't.
Thanks for the info doweyy 😊
EB has fair postage costs $4.95, don't know why eBay took away their plus.
I ordered a few things the other day from EB, my mouse was ebay plus so had free shipping, but the 2 switch games and controller were not. Had to pay $5.95 shipping once and the other 2 items were free shippinh. Invoice showed 2 different invoices, 2 different tracking numbers and came in different boxes at the same time. Unsure why they couldn't all be plus items though.
Great price OP!
Picked one up, tyvm OP! I've been on the lookout for a Switch for the past week and was about to pull the trigger, so this came at the perfect time!
Thanks for that, I just purchased one last weekend from Costco for $398 for my daughters birthday but with Costco’s return policy I can just take it back, I’ve already ordered one of these and can put the savings toward another game to with the Zelda offer that was on this week.
Do Costco just sell it again or? I wouldn't be happy if i was next person to buy it, i'm sure your kids are nice enough but in general but I'm sure they've thrashed it the past week or so. I wouldn't want to be the next owner. *BTW, I didn't downvote you.
I would wait for the new one and return that one to Costco.
Great tip.
Would JB price match this? I have a gift card from there that I want to use.
Considering it's with a promo code on eBay, I'm going to say no.
Haha thanks. Never hurts to try.
called up JB doesnt do price match for consoles:(
Not true got JB to price match Amazon Au.
Bought a Switch last month for $399 and few games. Got JB to price match Amazon for all of them.
Depends on the store. I went to one that price matched the first time, then the second time they pretended that they never had that policy.
I even get jb to price match Costco
I went JB to price match a PS4 a few years back, guy had the shirtiest attitude ever. Said that he wasn't gonna do, cause the Target price was "stupid" and I was only there because Target was sold out (true). But he had this nasty smirk on his face, such a pos.
Oh wells when folks do that, I just turn around and walk out. No point feeling shit about it. Not like these purchases are necessities.
Was told once that they wouldn’t do the price cause it was below cost. This was for a router… went to HN who had the special bought it there (JB was closer) drove back with the router to go buy a Nintendo Game Card walked passed the salesperson and gave him a real big smile. Didn’t argue just drove a other ten minutes to get it. Made my day that’s for sure.
Fair point though, if Target sells out then they'll use that as an excuse to not honour the price match. It's one of their pre conditions.
Thanks OP! I managed to snag it for $323.19 using the 10% off eBay gift cards deal from last week.
Wow great deal…. can you somehow attach it to the eb world wouldn’t mind some extra carrots to get to level 4
Yep you can contact them after purchase to get them to add the carrots to your account :)
Oh wow didn’t know you could do this. Thanks for letting us know :)
Went in there to pick mine up and asked the girl if it comes with carrots. (Only asked because I saw this comment, no idea what you guys we're talking about - and it happened to be her first day).
Yea, awkward.
Oh no, I meant to message the eBay team as they're the ones I know about that help with the carrots, so give them a try.
Picked one up tonight. Guy scanned my card and even made the offer to do so.
If only Target wasn't excluded from the sitewide code, could get free delivery.
Plusit15 doesn't work?
Isn't Target also excluded from that one as well?
Yep my bad
Awesome. Been waiting to pull the trigger. Thank you.
Out of curiousity, what's been the best deal on the Switch?
$298 from Amazon including cash back
You guys are pros! Thanks for the info. And happy with this price heading into Xmas.
Good price
Good price, any games on sale? :)
Brilliant, christmas for the kids is sorted - Thanks OP :)
Ordered @ 07:39 - ready for Click and Collect @ 9:17
Cheerin!
Isn't Target eBay better price with plusit15?
link, please?
Where?
Oh thanks
Can you still get 10% off and eBay Plus free delivery?
Any chance that these will be the exploitable ones?
I bought a grey one from Gamesmen few weeks ago and it was exploitable. I reckon you'd have a better chance at the grey console being old stock as they're not as popular.
Probably jump on this if there was a guaranteed version but now its very 50/50
You can still return it within 7 days if it's not the model you want.
In time for my Japan trip. Thanks
are you gonna claim TRS?
Thinking the same!
Just bought one. Guilt is kicking in. Hope wife doesn't kill me.
I brought it up in conversation this morning in the car and suggested we buy one. Almost crashed when she agreed.
Please write a book detailing your technique.
It will be perfect for bedtime story.
I texted my gf that I bought a 'thing' and I'm sorry.

Crikey. I've not seen this before, when trying to vote.
Yeah that happens when your IP range is similar, don't worry about it :)
Thanks OP. Got one.
I was looking to buy a used one cuz I assumed people would obviously sell for a lot less,,
but what with people trying to sell their used consoles (often not with games)
for 400+ and upto 500 and stating 'not negotiable'?
glad I found this
Yeah the secondhand market for switch os delusional.
I saw one with a banned ID on ebay at $350 the other day. just… what?
$350. The seller must be desperate to price so "low".
Could be old hardware (hackable), or with old firmware (even more hackable).
anyone else having issues applying the POINTY discount? Won't apply for me - just getting a "This code can't be applied to your order" error. Any advice? Thanks.
You have US account?
That could be the case - I'm originally from the US. I just tried to checkout as a guest instead and it applied. Thanks!
eBay would only let me order 1 due to the seller "not having enough stock". Easily sorted by using the wife's eBay account to buy the second one. Christmas sorted. Thanks OP!
Was thinking of waiting for the Super Smash or Mario Party bundles, to get those limited edition controllers. Does anyone know if it's likely those bundles will be on sale within a reasonable period of release and/or comparable this deal factoring the price of the game in? Much appreciated!
Nope. "Reasonably Priced" and "Limited Editions" rarely belong in the same sentence, especially this time of year.
Perfect timing. Just ordered one and pick up near my house.
Ordered at 11:30am got confirmation to pick up at 12:04pm. Nice!!!
did they just send you an email or contacted via ebay?
have fun my dude.
Email + sms for when pick up is ready
Got email with collection barcode.
Is anyone holding out for potential bday deals tomorrow?
Ebay birthday?
Yep, trying to decide whether to go for it now or wait and risk losing this deal
I'm holding out as well. eBay better come up with something good or I'll be regretting the decision for a while.
If ebay is cheaper within 48hrs, can’t we just send ebay a screenshot of their own cheaper price and then they beat it by 5%?
Could people please hurry up and Ozbargain this so I can stop 'umming' and 'ahhing' over whether to get one or not?
Standard procedure is to buy first then umm and ahh over your purchase..an hour later..
I’ve been on the fence for months and just told my mate i’d buy the next deal under $360. Checked ozb and found this, bought it. Sorted haha.
This is the feelgood story of the year!
Isn’t this the same deal as Amazon ?
With 10% cashback at amazon and free delivery, its $359 there too.
Take a long time to receive it.
nope! amazon handles cashback before tax, aka you are really getting about 9.09% back not 10% (so for the $398 deal it would give you back $36.18). It is similar to the amount you get from TRS, it is not 10% off, it is original price x 10% back which is 9.09%.
I've tried mentioning this under amazon cashback deals but for some reason the comment does not get enough traction.
Which case is the best for this as EB have several to chose.
And which game is to start on for kids to play?
Cheers.
Best case is the one from Big W. https://www.bigw.com.au/product/nintendo-switch-game-travell…
Starting kids games would be Mario Kart, Minecraft, maybe Mario Odyssey.
Is there any different between mario kart wii and switch? as currently we are still paying on wii. Thinking to get something different than wii games.
This has been the debate of many, but Mario Kart on Switch is (imo) the best Mario Kart ever made. The advancements in the visuals alone make looking back really hard after you get used to it. The gameplay also feels much more responsive and there's way more customisation options in the Switch version (including using motion controls if that's what you're used to).
Wii MK is the last "traditional" kart racer, 7 on the 3ds introduced little hanglider segments and underwater segments. The WiiU/Switch version, (they are the same game) is just bat shirt crazy, drive along the ceilings and stuff… I play it very little.
Zelda
My case picks would be the orzly or tomtoc. I personally got the tomtoc but intend on getting orzly one day
EB isn't eBayPlus enabled? (profanity) YOU EB!
