What to do with 2 Zeldas and 2 bonus discs...

I pre-ordered from Ebgames, and later cancelled when I got a better deal from samgoody.com. Ebgames told me yesterday that they shipped, etc. Oh well. Would I be better off just sending it back to them, or should I sell the game seperately and the bonus seperately and recoup the cost that way?

You should sell all four of them quick. I just read in another thread that the Gamecube is a dead console! Use this insider info to your advantage.

Yes, and when the Gamecube dies (it will soon, according to some) all games will cease functionality, there's a 72.35% chance of it.

Hehe.


I actually suggest just selling your extra discs separately. I made about 26 or so from just selling my bonus disc. Not sure what they go for now, but you should be fine.

eBay is a great idea. You can usually get back your cost of a newer game even if it's been opened and played. Since you have the bonus disc as well, count on another 20-30 bucks, just be sure to sell em seperate!

Couldn't you just return it to an electronics boutique store?

They don't allow you to return online orders in-store.

Really? I didn't know that.

They let me exchange preowned copies of Ace Combat 4 and Virtua Fighter 4 I had purchased online. Gave me store credit.

Baghdad is nearly as close as the closest EB.

Sounds like the one by you is a bit more liberal, which is cool. I hear the guys at the Bagdhad E.B. can be real dicks about returns.

I'd dump off the extra game on eBay, then save the extra 'bonus' discs for a year or two.

After the supply dries up, Zelda fans will be willing to pay quite a bit more for the extra games (especially during holiday seasons).

Did your Zelda ship from SG.com? They cancelled mine!
