I owe some poeple sopme games. I idioticallly told my manager at carls i could find mario kart double dash for like 25 bux. so he straight up gave me 25 bux and told me to get it for him....

F*ck.


So i go online, and i cant find it cheaper than 49.99 anywhere! Argh! i was planning on buying a few games this week. Can anyone help?




Rainbow six 3: Black Arrow (Edit: Bought it today, full price )
Fable
Star Wars Battlefront
Ninja Gaiden.


Ninja gaiden and double dash can be used, refurbished, whatever, i just need to find it cheap. Thanks a lot guys!

Could you just give the money back and say you made a mistake with the prices?

[Peepers]

The best advice is to do what Reclaimer says. (He seems to be giving you lots of good advice lately.)

Other than that, I'd guess you might have better luck with Froogle or ebay.

[SPARTAN VI]

Listen to Reclaimer. I agree with Peepers, Reclaimer is really watching out for you bro.

[OuFtb]

You could try buying the games here in the trading fourm, Thats where I buy all my games and after a little ruff math in my head I've saved over a 100 bucks vs going to the store and buying it, don't know if they will have all the games you want but it might be worth a shot mabey you'll get lucky.

[FB-Gollum]

Pay the difference yourself. You guaranteed a price, hence you are responsible for it (verbal contract). Ok so not really. In fact, Reclaimer's advice is best, but it depends on why you are doing it. If you are trying to impress your boss in hopes of a promotion, pay the diff and give it. If you are just trying to be a chum, go with what rec says. Yeah, and try trading for it.

i told him i already ordered it too. i told him 7- 10 working days, which gives me another week or so....besides, im willing to pay the extra cash for my mistake.

It's generally wise not to lie to someone in a postion of authority over you, whether it is related to work or not, it's just not good policy.

But just try Half.com or Ebay, and pay the difference.

[Whisper]

foot in mouth.

[Spaztic]

If you were a man of your word you would pay the difference.....if not just go with what reclaimer said.

[Brutus]

Yeah. I gotta' agree. I'm all about Ebay, man.

[TheCovenant]

ye alike i said, i wasnt lieying, i said i could find it for that much. I never said i had already found it.

Ami i willing to pay the difference? hell yes. Im a man of standards, and i said i would get him the game for 25 bux, so, i am. end of story on that part. Now, if my fellow addicts could save me some oh so hard earned cash, it would greatly be appreciated.

EDIT:

the thread is a few months old, but he had a copy up for sale, maybe you could work something out with him?

EDIT #2:

There is an ad in my local paper for someone selling a copy for $50 (canadian), which is like $40 usd, so its a bit cheaper then you found... i could always try talking them down a bit aswell if youd like

EDIT #3:

Found this site on google, no idea how safe the site is, but its the best price I found at just under $30

Yeah, that's pretty darn solid advice.

$30.77 there. Used.

[Reclaimer]

What's your status right now with the game?

Plan B would be to.. Lie and say your deal didn't work or make something up to the effect that your deal you had fell through.

"Dude, I'm sorry but: (pick one)
You forgot the credit card was expired
For some reason they couldn't authenticate the deal
The transaction got bounced by the seller and he won't contact me.
The credit card company blocked the transaction for security reasons and the seller walked. (that happened to me before)
Your pay pal is messed up because you changed credit cards."

Then hand him back the money and be done with it, apologising prefusely.
Anything solid enough to prevent you from "having to try it again later."

Lying sucks, but you have gone into cover your ass mode. Time to cover it really well.



Then give him the money back.

Those are some mighty fancy excuses Reclaimer.
