Amazon.ca has San Andreas for $30 CDN...but theres a catch

So I was looking around on Amazon.ca's site to see if they had any good DVD bargains and I got side tracked into the games area. I saw GTA: San Andreas for $29.99 CDN. So I added it to my cart to check out and it said it couldn't be shipped to my US address. I don't know why? So, for the Canadian buyers out there....this is a pretty good deal.

Amazon.ca doesn't ship video games internationally. AFAIK this is true of all Amazon stores worldwide. I don't know the exact reason.

GTA: GWN would make a great sequel. But only if it had Mounties, Niagra Falls, and Dave Coulier.

Canada has hookers, right?

It might be a misprice you know.

I ordered 25 copies, if its not a misprice, it would come to what, 25$ US shipped or so?

Fire me off an Email if you want it, not your address, its still too far out, just an Email so I know how many copies to order and if 25 is enough.

Feneant@(NOSPAM)rogers.com

To give you a real price, lets see, each copy came to 35$ Cdn shipped. Convert that to US price and add 4.00$ US shipping, that will be your price.

YGM Feneant.

Looking at the site - the price has now been raised to 69.99 CDN. Hopefully you got even before the price correction.

Let us know how it goes.

I doubt they'll honor the misprice for anyone no matter how many copies they ordered, unless Canadian law on the matter is radically different from the U.S. law.

I think They'll honor the misprice!

I Pickup 12 copies Marmalade Boy Scrapbook Collection vol. 1 for $0.99 CA = around $0.60 US Dollar (MSRP $99.99 US DOLLARS).

Make over $600 in profit on Ebay
