they have got to be stolen

what other reason could third party sellers have to sell these hot items for this low?

 

[TheOMan]

Sure, why not?

Coffee came out my nose.

Edit:

Is this seller still selling Switches on Amazon?

Maybe they're rogue Nintendo employes determined to let the switch reach the hands of proletariat despite the ridicoulous supply shortage. Remember, its morally right to robin hood Nintendo only.

OP is actually a front for scammer accounts on amazon and is trying to make them more appealing.

Gotta think in 4 dimensions GAF, or you will get outplayed.

Sure, why not?

OP bought a $600 Switch from a scalper on ebay so he doesn't have to admit that he got scammed

wake up people

 

[Norik]

Now I'm thinking of buying one for $199.... does Amazon cover me if I get scammed?

 

[katsubento]

Congrats OP! You have beaten the odds.

Marry this woman.

Maybe OP is scammer selling these for 199 so people will now buy from him.
Edit: looks like people got that covered.

 

[Roi]

OP is the chosen one!

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Oh man that was a great thread :lol

What thread was that?

 

[shira]

Do you believe in miracles? YES!

Nice!

Glad it worked out for you!

 

[Frostburn]

Is there some damage on the touchscreen of the switch itself? Hard to tell from the pictures but still a great deal on a Switch!

[FairyD]

I was hoping to see a picture of a badly made light switch or something.

Like that other thread of Kanye West shoes where the guy put them on and everything. Oh god I was fucking dying from laughter from that one.

 

[Instro]

Grey market hardware, the new hotness.

A 3D printed Switch would have been great.

 

[Glass Shark]

These Amazon scams are getting worse by the day.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

What's the seller's rating and feedback OP?

 

[CRS]

Grey market hardware, the new hotness.

What if I want the Neon Switch?

 

[Fuzzy]

Pic of your GF's package.

Fucking crooked screws.

OP helping the Russians more than Trump.

Sure, why not?

Round 2

 

[Marky Mark]

It was a $200 Switch, cynicism was all he could have.

Doesn't mean he chewed her out

After it came through maybe he will be soon.

 

[oxidax]

Why are there so many third party selling the switch at $225 on Amazon now?

 

[Agent Gibbs]

Holy shit!

Op does the fan work on that switch? because its got to be super hot

 

[DonShula]

Not what I expected to see. Congrats!

But... why?

 

[Stormhammer]

These same folks also are selling pro controllers for $20 and joycons for $7.

 

[PerfectFlaw]

The snake is actually kind of cute?

I hear she's single.

 

[Chuckie]

Is it wrong that I was hping for something as legendary as this: http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=232756899

Holy fucking shit.

[magawolaz]

oh snap! Good job OP!

 

[Linkark07]

Breath of the Wild for $20 too. Gotta buy it fast!

Damn.. OP almost had me.

 

[Arkanius]

This makes no sense.
Fucking GAF delivers.

 

[DarkestHour]

Seeing quite a bunch of these on Amazon right now for $225. Crazy if they aren't scams.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Does Amazon refund you if it turns out to be a scam?

 

[ColdPizza]

Do you believe in miracles? YES!

How did you get the switch out of the box without taking it out of the bigger box?

It could be a stolen Switch.

Then they're the dumbest thief in America....why not sell it for $299 or even $250?

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

lmao @ that sneakers thread


and congrats op, i wonder if they were stolen or something

 

[Charles Brandon]

Even if it was stolen, why would the thief sell at below market value if he could get more?

 

[____]

To make it an easy sell is my guess. Especially if he has a bunch of them.

 

[Charles Brandon]

wouldn't they be an easy sale at RRP anyway?

Do you know how credit card scammers operate ?? They buy a whole bunch shit like this (video game consoles, iPads etc) with a fake CC then sell it really cheap so it's gone asap. I watched a video where a guy posted an iPad he scammed on Craigslist at such a good price by the time he got from his hotel room to the lobby he had more than 5 replies, that's just an elevator ride a couple floors. They really don't give a fuck because the money is still free lol

 

[jadedm17]

I wouldn't but he (or his girlfriend) already has... now all he can do is deal with the problem the best way possible from here on out, which is what I'm suggesting.

If he can cancel it then great, but apparently he can't or wont. Just saying "you shouldn't have done that" isn't helpful in the slightest.

Common sense isn't that common, so laughing at the OP is helpful to us.

OP thinks someone bought a system and decided to go through the hassle of selling online and shipping for a $100 loss then to return said system that came out weeks ago. It's funny.

 

[Rykuen]

If the OP can do it, I can do it too!

Spoiler

I actually have no faith this thing is getting delivered but I had to try.

 

[andythinkpad]

This story still sound all kind of alarm for me.

I am not saying I don't believe OP, but I would not buy from the same seller for a 100 discount even if you give me the chance. There is just something doesn't seem right.

The only explanation is these batch of machines didn't pass QC, and they were stolen and resold. I have encountered new lens like it. You could buy them for half of the listed price. However repackaged shady gray market goods don't show up during launch period. So that's that.

 

[thenexus6]

Now if this one ships than their is clearly a rich guy with way to much time on his hands and money to burn.

If you get a Switch I will cry.

wake up people

No there are 2 3rd party sellers selling 215 Switch on Amazon. I believe him. I just don't believe in the hardware.
