You will probably end up facing a bunch of Internet scripts and bots who will try to beat the system and people who will stand out for days, but you may still be able to get one. It’s not always accurate, however, but it seems to be more accurate than not.įor Amazon, there also is the Camel Camel Camel which tracks prices, and you can even have them notify you when an item drops below your target price.Ĭompanies will also sometimes publish announcements of when they are shipping additional units. You can see what stores have an item in stock and at what price. The site NowInStock not only keeps track of when items come in stock, but you can also see when they were last available and set up browser alerts.įor brick and mortar stores, one of the most popular stock checkers is Brickseek. Lots of sites will help you track down an item. As always, though, be sure you are shopping at a reputable site, and choose a form of payment that has good protection. Sometimes stores don’t always use descriptive titles, so that’s where UPCs and ISBNs come in handy. Use regular search as well, alternating between titles and UPC/ISBN. Their shopping section only lists a small number of stores, but there may be one or two with whom you are not familiar with. (Who is going to buy Wii Music for $50 in 2017?!) While I probably wouldn’t recommend just taking random trips and going out of your way, swing by smaller stores if you’re heading out for a drive.įor online stores, search on Google. You’d be surprised what languishes on smaller stores’ shelves. In the past couple of weeks at my nearest Walmart, I found two Nintendo Switches on the shelf, and I spotted a PlayStation Vita console. There are a lot less people fighting over stock. Sometimes, however, living in a rural area has its advantages. If something is out of stock at your nearest store, you have several other options in the nearby radius. I admit I get jealous of you city folks who can just hop from one Walmart/ Target/ GameStop/whatever to another. Well, you may not have to fight monsters like in an RPG, but sometimes item hunting really makes you go Berserk. So how can you avoid the egregious prices some sellers want to charge when an item you want goes out-of-print or discontinued? Even consoles selling on the low end will still cost you about twice the MSRP. Retailers like Amazon still have both the NES and SNES Classic Edition consoles in stock as of now, so it may be best to snag them before it’s too late.Nintendo surprised the world with the announcement that they are suspending the NES Classic console in North America.Ĭurrently, this $60 console is selling for as high as $400 on Amazon and eBay. Perhaps Nintendo will have yet another revival of the popular hardware, which replicates the old-school consoles with a set collection of games. That could change, of course the NES Classic Edition was taken out of production less than a year after launch, before returning to stores this past June. And Fils-Aime mentioned back in November that there there’s nothing “in our planning horizon” for subsequent classic consoles, like a Nintendo 64 Classic. Yet that’s NES-only for now, which is likely not sufficient for fans of SNES games and beyond. An expansive, and expanding, selection of NES titles is on Nintendo Switch and accessible only to members of the premium service. Instead, Nintendo will focus on increasing its catalogue of retro games available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. “We’ve also been clear that, at least from an Americas perspective, these products are going to be available through the holiday season and once they sell out, they’re gone. “We’ve said that the current systems are the extent of our classic program,” Fils-Aime said. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this week, Fils-Aime said that both mini-consoles will not return to store shelves once their current stock sells out - essentially making this holiday season their last. The NES Classic and SNES Classic are on their surprise farewell tour, according to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime.
