goodbye CAG. You haven't been fun for awhile now. Too many hoarders, lurkers and flippers.

Clearly you've never seen a dumpster fire then.I think you mean hobo trash can fire.
Hitachi Deskstar aka Deathstar was the bane of my existence some years back.Yes true all fail but I work in IT for a large corporation and Seagates have a much higher failure rate than WD's. I'd say it's a 4 to 1 ratio in my experience. The only brand worse is Hitachi and HGST.
I'm a little curious how...you know that?It's funny because most of the people that hoard Target clearance stuff don't even resell any of it.
When I used to stalk this thread for particular items I ran into the same guy repeatedly. Started talking to him figuring we could at least have some common ground and not constantly step on each others toes. I helped him carry some stuff to his car once after that and realized after looking in there he was just a crazy hoarder. I gave up on most of this stuff after that because I'd wager the dude lives out of the car and I just want things for my personal use.It's funny because most of the people that hoard Target clearance stuff don't even resell any of it.
Odd, because most I've talked to speak well of HGST. Then again, tech is so often a crapshoot of personal experiences. My dad won't touch MSI with a 20-foot pole because they screwed him on a bad motherboard 15 years ago.Yes true all fail but I work in IT for a large corporation and Seagates have a much higher failure rate than WD's.

Yeah, I'm WD-only as well. I have a 640-GB Caviar Black in my PC that was the boot drive from 2009 until maybe 2014. It's a mass drive now. My dad bought a pair of Seagate 750s (admittedly, refurbished), and one of them died after about 6 months. My 500-GB WD external lasted 4-5 years, until I accidentally knocked it off a shelf (which it shouldn't be expected to survive), while my cousin's Seagate external lasted maybe 18 months (but he was pretty rough with it, kept it in a backpack a lot).I have had mostly WD hard drives all my life and even the 4 year old one on my computer still works great. I installed new Seagate 2TB into my two PS4s and one died within 6 weeks on me. the other is still going but that was my first failure in I cant tell you how long. WD for me for now on if possible. (the 2TB Seagates were all that I could find that fit the PS4 at the time I purchased them.)
True. The one clearance thing I bought at Target, a 3DSXL, is still sitting in the box after more than a year. I thought about playing it. Then reselling it. Then playing it. Then reselling it. It's in the kitchen, in a Best Buy bag.It's funny because most of the people that hoard Target clearance stuff don't even resell any of it.
Sounds like you may have actually met the infamous El Hoardo!When I used to stalk this thread for particular items I ran into the same guy repeatedly.

A ton of the people who engage in retail arbitrage buy clearance stuff at Target and sell it on Amazon/Ebay though.
Good I'm not the only one xD I have the red/gold super mario 2 3dsxl from walmart during the $149+free $50 gc promo that is still in the Walmart bag ever since after I priced matched it to Target, only opened it once to redeem the Nintendo Club points before they expired lol. Endless mind battle of reselling/playing it here too lol. I already own the silver mario luigi dream team 3dsxl, so really no need. But haven't played mario 2 yet. Been procrastinating.True.

Was it this man?There was so much shit in his car I would have sworn it had to be an extra dimensional object to contain it.
I got mine last year, when they clearanced them for $100. Got the blue Smash one because someone bought the Yoshi one that I wanted earlier in the day when I went. I just wanted to play Fire Emblem, but Awakening was never around at a good price for me (I kept missing the sub-$25 offerings), and after I missed out on the Fates CE, I just gave up bothering because I didn't want to pay extra to get those games. Before that, I put the thing on CL, but got no interest. Now, I'm thinking I might get the new Pokemon, since there really isn't anything else coming out for me to play this year (that we know of yet).Good I'm not the only one xD I have the red/gold super mario 2 3dsxl from walmart during the $149+free $50 gc promo that is still in the Walmart bag ever since after I priced matched it to Target, only opened it once to redeem the Nintendo Club points before they expired lol.

If I open the red one, add my account to it so I'll have mario 2 linked to my download list, remove the acct and have my acct back on the silver one, would I still have access to mario 2 on my download list or would it be removed? (dream team & mario 2 are both preinstalled on their system) If i resell the red one, would the new owner have access to mario 2 since it's a preinstalled game? Idk how the preinstalled games work, is it linked to ur NID or system? Accidentally deleted dream team once & the csr I spoke with said I could redownload anytime from the download page or store page.but that was years ago
I got the Blue Smash one a year ago or two I don't remember ($100) and I have bought about 20 games and 3/4 are sealed. Only beat Zelda ALBW. Then I bought the N3DS and played with it about 1hr and haven't touched it since.I got mine last year, when they clearanced them for $100.

Have around 20 games, only reason why most are opened were to redeem the nintendo points, but haven't played them.

I apparently love wasting money.
Yeah, I considered upgrading from the XL to a N3DSXL when they had the last $100 trade deal, but without any games I was interested in, I passed.I got the Blue Smash one a year ago or two I don't remember ($100) and I have bought about 20 games and 3/4 are sealed.

That makes so little sense since the whole thing runs through the sub. So either they're stupid or blew them out or something. Glad I didn't get them from that store.Thought I got lucky and found one of those Logitech sets for my game room, got home and opened it up and someone replaced the satellite speakers with a gutted belkin modem stuffed with Kroger bags and sharpening stones. They left the sub woofer though, so there's that. That was fun to explain when I returned it.
This was at the Clinton pointe store. Funny enoughI saw one of those LCDs last night. Think it was $24 or so. If you want me to see if it's there still you can message me.

Wow, really glad I couldn't find those speakers the other day then.This was at the Clinton pointe store. Funny enough
is B2S even worth picking up at $4.50?Beyond and GT5 made it to 70% off.
Saw an ESO preview disc for $1.
For what it's worth, Does the ESO disc have a DCPI? idk why but all the prerelease/beta stuff interests me.Beyond and GT5 made it to 70% off.

Thanks for the heads-up on the soundbar! My local store had five of them left. Grabbed one for me and got one for my dad for Father's Day.
You'll pay shipping? What an angel!Someone grab me a sound bar I'll pay price and shipping
Should have waited, it's going to be $38 ;DThanks I bought two of these soundbars tonight for $90 each. Great score for a 300 watt Sony!
I also picked up 2x Braven HD wireless speakers. They were orginally $179.99 marked down to $53.98 DPCI: 008-03-0315. This mobile speaker seems to be high quality. These are the colored versions of the black ones which are still normal price. I went to a store 15miles away because it was showing two Aqua colored speakers on the mydevice. They actually had one aqua, and one red, for the same price.
