Switch docks back up to €89.99 in Smyths

Just discovered that when I finally went to buy one! Will hold off a while until they drop again.

Do you think €70 is a bargain price? If so, I reckon you can make a case for posting. But be prepared for accusations of profiteering on the recent Smyths offer (€60) which will include people examining the route you drove to buy it and the fuel efficiency of your car...

BTW, apparently you can get Mario + Rabbids from Ubisoft for £27 but I can't open the link at work :

This is separate to the recent posing where you could buy a discount off them for Ubipoints. Dunno if the 2 offers stack.

I'm reasonably sure we're not supposed to link to stuff on adverts like that though, perhaps a mod can clarify.

Well, this is the bargains page, so linking to bargains is appropriate.

But linking to one's own ads, in this forum, is not appropriate, as it would potentially open floodgates to everyone using the Nintendo category of Adverts to further link here.

So, I'll delete it there and could users keep it in mind, in the future.

Lads, would anyone know where's a good place to sell old nintendo games and consoles? And how to figure out what a reasonable price would be?

I have a SNES,NES,N64 I'm looking to sell off [N64 in very good condition, the other two need new power wires and are prob best used for parts] as well as a good number of games/controllers[3 N64 controllers, 2 SNES controllers, a NES lightgun].

Argh that was a great deal but it seems it’s gone already.

I suspect it might have been a mistake with their website letting people combine 2 25% offers.

No problem, noted for future reference

Indecently it was bought at full price but the plans to add a second TV to the house had to be shelved.

Was a very limited run for the zelda ones

I'm picking up a shovel knight myself he's €7.49 but as he was made by the skylanders crowd there is no foil in the box so he works without opening.

Great disappointment among the faithful when Zero Suit Samus didn't equate to Birthday Suit Samus....

Hi All,

Hope this is the right place to post. I've been looking at joining the Switch club and see Argos have a bundle deal with Mario Odyssey for €349.00

https://m.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/7501337/Trail/searchtext>Nintendo+switch.htm

Would this be one of the better deals at the moment?

Thanks

Yes its a good deal. That link doesn't work but assuming its the pre packaged bundle, its worth bearing in mind the Mario game is a digital code, rather than a physical game, if that bugs you.

Thanks. Yes it the pre-packaged bundle (sorry posting off phone so bad link). Hadn't realised that it was digital code so that's good to know.

Did you email support? Mine took a while to arrive but eventually came. I emaied them after about 12 days and they told me to get back in touch if they hadn't arrived in 5 days and they'd resend them again. Luckily they came two days later.

It's only 50c on the moon. But the moon might as well be Mexico it's so hard to get them to take your money!
