I will give 80 dollars to anyone willing to give me their spare LE. That's cost + $20 + shipping.

They do? Damn, those are incredibly cheap here on tijuana, I can walk to the swapmeet and feet it for 20. Or at least I could before, don't know if they still have it. (Not sealed, btw)

Why does Best Buy not get a spoof name? Is its name already hilarious enough?
I think a distinction should be made between the sharks on slickdeals -- the type of person who buys every single copy they can, doesn't mind having hundreds of dollars or more tied up in stuff, and has express plans to put them onto ebay as efficiently and timely as possible -- and people who buy a backup to keep sealed "just because". maybe as a backup, maybe to collect and hold onto for years, maybe trade or sell, sure, but no specific plans.
This is a difficult argument to make, especially to anyone who wasn't able to get one, but I think there is a distinction.
In the case of the MM LE, it's been available at several stores and there have been multiple windows of opportunity to preorder, including the $85 gamestop guide bundle, which if I recall was available for hours or more. Compared to some amiibos, such as Rosalina, MM LE is/was a cakewalk.
Me? I like the hunt. I like things that are hard to get. It adds an aspect of adventure to shopping -- I don't want every item to be like this, no, of course not, but the occasional rare LE is nice, and I so much prefer a LE that actually IS limited, rather than most video game LEs which are available in such high quantities that they don't feel at all collectible.
I already had an MM LE preorder secured at amazon, but still went for the gamestop $85 bundle. While everyone else was busy pointing out what a scumbag store gamestop is, I went and placed an order. Any of you who were posting about Gamestop being lame at the time could have. $85 is cheap compared to what they're likely to go for on ebay.
Whenever demand exceeds supply, a secondary market will exist. The idea that demand would outstrip supply and no secondary market exists is an idea so illogical and impossible that I don't understand what you guys are asking for. Yelling about "scalpers" is just as constructive as yelling about a coming storm. Operate within the world that exists. Try and get to the checkout before the scalpers do. Try to get out of your house before the storm arrives. It's just life.

This LE will definitely go for 200+ if Nintendo doesn't restock, because Majora's mask is a special game to many Zelda fans...

You have to give nintendo credit on actually following the word limited right down to the definition. Though I do believe that the announcement and the ability to pre-order it should have been a few days apart
No Ambassador n3DS program
Considering I'm not that much better than the scalpers by having multiple pre-orders, I at least wanted to tell that the people who will get them actually WANT them and won't resell them.

Ah I see someone saw my topic on CAG.
I left Best Buy as it is because it was the BEST deal..... with GCU.

Ugh what is it with nintendo products and scalpers
I tell you what. Nintendo has a good size of fans, but they never make enough of their limited products to meet all those needs.
Hence scalpers come into the picture.
# of Nintendo fans >>>>>>>>>>>> # of Limited Edition Nintendo items sold
it's nintendo's fault for not selling more of these things

Alright guys, at this point, I don't know whether I'm going to have to cancel my original order at Gamestop or not.
I just want to have this second copy as a backup.
Thanks much, RedFalco for the offer, and thank you Shogun for the information and the help.

if you dou get a second copy I'll buy it from you or can you change the address on the order? If you need to cancel and can do that I'll buy it from you

I've decided that I will be keeping my Gamestop order, and that I will also be purchasing one from a fellow GAFer.
WTF
My brother was just mentioning that people can sell a few dozen "preorders" of the LE on eBay right now, and when the time comes to deliver the product, eBay will have deleted the listing already and it will be long past the point where you have any right to leave negative feedback or complain about getting scammed.

Why would ebay delete the listing? Just curious.

you now have like 6 months or something to open up a complaint when you pay with paypal though. it was something they just changed so unless people are buying these for $100+ and just forgetting for 6 months you will get into some shit.
Just a time thing. eBay expects you to buy something, pay for it, and get it shipped. It's not designed to sell preorders. With a preorder, you buy it, pay for it, and then run down the clock on dispute resolution before shipment is even possible.
After enough time passes, eBay clears up space by just deleting useless info.
But silkysmooth's probably right, and the dispute period is probably long enough. Still, probably not a good idea to buy preorders on eBay. The time left in the preorder comes out of the time needed for dispute resolution if anything goes wrong.

Why won't Nitnendo offer a 1 per person offer on their website...it's shit like this that makes no sense.

You're telling me, I saw this thread today after I got home from work (about a half hour ago). This is like that bullshit with the colored XL charge cradles but at least that had a bit more warning if I recall correctly.
Never even played MM yet and was liking the idea of picking this up so I could have the game and give the figure to my mom as she's into art of similar visual styles.
Are these supposed to be pre-order only or will/may there be a limited amount of shelf stock?

Sorry if posted already but looks like the madness is over. Fry's is NOT doing LE preorders :/

Yeah looks like the Nintendo genius put the Fry's logo instead of Best Buy when putting together the pre-order info packet for the LE.
