Small Favor

If there is anyone in the us that just happens to spot shining soul 2 for gba at their local gamestop and wouldn't mind grabbing it for me i'd be more than happy to reemberse and pay for media shipping. I dont want to pay eBay prices if I can avoid it. (Its one of few I want/need for gba)

Be sure, whoever is out there, to make sure it's not fake.

thanks guys. Im sure you will be much more helpful than my local GameStop.

They took down the 4 games i asked them to get....and never received them. It's been 3 weeks. I called all the local gamestops asking them to make sure they had certain games and hold them for me. 3 GBA games from 3 different stores.

 Then I called a somewhat close gamestop that was very helpful before in getting me a game from another store. They called back said 3 stores and I had the games within 3 days.

 I don't get why they offer you this service if they don't bother doing the work for it.

The system for transfering items over doesn't always work because it's not a perfect system. When Gamestop employees request for a transfer of a game it's not an invoice sent to a warehouse or something. It's one store asking another store to send something. Usually the problem arrizes from the store that is sending the item. I've called to ask stores to send stuff to my store but the other store only follows through 60% of the time. We can ask them to send it again but they have usually sold it by then. Also requests can be denied if the game is outside of the district or is a low cost item.

Seeing as all the games I asked them to get were gba games under 10 bucks...i suppose that could have been the problem.

its a matter of time before gamestop discontinues selling gba games since they no longer except them in trade so if you want to get something i wouldnt wait too long

I wasn't able to look this one up today. I underestimated LA Noire, we can now do CoDMW3 preorders and I'm prepping for an inventory. I'll try and look into it tomorrow

 I know, thats why im trying to get the last couple while i can. I think Shining Soul 2 is probably the ONLY one I REALLY want to get to have all the GBA games I want in my collection. Aside from the Zelda games....but those are still like 15 used...I'll wait until I stumble onto those at a yard sale, besides they are just remakes of the originals.

Oh, I could use FFVI too. but again, more than I want to spend on a GBA game at GameStop

I think I am about to become your best friend ... a store said they would ship it to me. Let's hope they follow through
