MSR "Factory Seconds"

Yeah, on evilbay, but Fukitol.

You'll never see it sold this cheap ever again. $12.95 with free standard shipping to the USA. The reason they are going so cheap is because the manuals and/or inlay cards are imperfect due to damage during the initial shipment from the factory. Every last one of them is a rebox. The discs are all in perfect working order; none of the discs themselves were damaged. There were only 16 of these, and some have already sold.

Bernie · 12/18/2013, 01:07 PM

Why not? I'll take one.

RoyVegas · 12/18/2013, 02:17 PM

Posted a day or two after I paid the $29 price for the good ones you listed on eBay.

I would have bought one of these instead.

schweaty · 12/18/2013, 03:14 PM

That's a solid price.

FiftyQuid · 12/18/2013, 03:58 PM

$13USD to buy, $14USD to ship to Canada. I can feel USPS sticking it in my backside.

OldRover · 12/18/2013, 05:54 PM

Whoa... what? $14 to ship to Canada? That's insane... it shouldn't cost anywhere near that much. I will see if I can modify the international shipping option to fix that. That might be ebay itself being a turd with its global shipping thing.

OldRover · 12/18/2013, 05:56 PM

OK... I made some revisions. See if you can get the standard shipping rate; it should be about half of that. No way is it $14 to ship 4 ounces to Canada.

thesteve · 12/18/2013, 09:02 PM

must have..........bought

wyndcrosser · 12/18/2013, 10:06 PM

Purchased, thanks man. Looking forward to number 2.

Psycho Punch · 12/18/2013, 10:27 PM

$14 shipping to canada, what the hell? For my distant country it is only $9.15...

Shipping is actually pretty expensive to Canada. So, $14 doesn't surprise me. For whatever reason US to Canada is not cheap. BTW he said he'd fixing it, so it's all good.

Thanks for trying, but it's still $14. I even tried to refresh and blow out the cache on my laptop, but the shipping cost remains. The import cost is $0 which is great, but $14 is a little much. Still I might take the plunge here and buy it. I just hate paying $14 to eBay. If I knew the $14 was going to you Old Rover I wouldn't care, but I'm guessing it doesn't.

In other words I don't mind being fleeced by you, but eBay can get bent.

P.S. - My only option is showing up as "Priority International Shipping".

USA to Canada is terrible. I know USPS and Canada Post have almost doubled their rates since the start of 2013. Not that this matters, but it cost me $13 to ship a small parcel from Ontario to New Brunswick last week. That's within Canada and it was still stupid. That same parcel in January would have cost me $6 bucks.

OldRover · 12/19/2013, 12:41 AM

The discount copies are now all sold out. I hope some peeps on here were able to snag one.

I don't know wtf that is all about.

I went on usps.com to calculate the price of shipping this to Canada, and it comes out to $6.91... perfectly within range of what I expected. I don't what kind of scam they are trying to pull here... and no, the $14 ransom doesn't come to us at all.

seieienbu · 12/19/2013, 09:50 AM

Blug, those sold out quick. I wish I'd jumped on the game months ago. I intended to but never got around to purchasing one.

Yeah, that's more inline to what I regularly pay. I don't know what the $14 is all about either. I've noticed it happening on many eBay auctions so it's not isolated to you. Seems to be some weird default in the listing for anything out of the States.

wyndcrosser · 12/21/2013, 11:52 PM

When might our orders ship?

Thanks

OldRover · 12/22/2013, 10:28 AM

Tomorrow morning.

Regular copies are still available on ebay and elsewhere. Stop talking in the past tense and buy one before people start gouging.

FiftyQuid · 12/22/2013, 03:48 PM

Many thanks to to you Rover for working out shipping to Canada. Say it with me! "Fawkin' eBay. Eat that $14"

Very cool. I look forward to purchasing Jungle Bros from you in the future. I purchased a copy of Mysterious Song from another seller and it constantly crashes, I don't know what the deal is. It's pretty random, I'm hoping it's not my duo.

Thanks

When you say crashes, what exactly is the system doing? I am assuming you are talking about hanging up during load times? If thats the case, it did that with a lot of people. Sometimes it would load right up after a scene change, sometimes it would hang for a minute or so. If that is what you are talking about, try just waiting it out, or open the Duo lid and shut it again.

Even those are just about gone. Technically, they're all gone, but someone did not complete checkout so there's still one up for grabs.

ChrisBucci · 01/01/2014, 05:23 PM

Hey The Old River...does that mean MSR is pretty much completely sold out all together? That's fantastic!
