AGE Expo...Ditka pre-orders!

in Seller's Forum [FS/FO/FT]
Since no one else has posted this yet, I figured I'd use this thread to say that I would take pre-orders of sorts for Mike Ditka Football, the new NES game to be released at the Expo.  However, there is a bit of a twist...

NGD has tentatively said the price would be $45-$50.  Assuming it's $50, I will only charge $40 + shipping (generally about $44 shipped ($45.62 PayPal) 1st-class within the US, or $46 shipped ($47.68 PayPal) Priority, covering the cost of mailing supplies and delivery confirmation; I will take international pre-orders, as well, but please ask for shipping quotes (Canada would be $45 shipped 1st-class/$47.14 PayPal)), on this one condition:  I get to look inside for the card to redeem for the Special Edition cart for myself.  If I'm a lucky son-of-a-gun and one of them happens to have the card inside, I will refund $20 to whoever pre-ordered that particular cart (I'll be carrying a numbered list with me, and the person who pre-orders that particular number on the list will get the $20).  If I'm a really lucky son-of-a-gun and manage to draw more than one Special Edition cart, I will go by that numbered list once more, and whoever pre-ordered that particular cart would receive the Special Edition cart (I'll redeem the card for you while I'm there, unless you explicitly state that if you were a second/third/etc. winner, you wanted to redeem the card yourself or that you wanted to keep the card).  Also, I would need payment by midnight the night of August 31st (or as late as September 4th if you went the money order route).

I figure this would be a way to get a handful of people the game for a tiny bit *less* than the full price, and a way for me to potentially expand my limited-edition homebrew collection.  However, because I will be paying a part of the price of these out of my own pocket, I will only accept a maximum of 20 pre-orders, and a limit of 2 per person (if pre-ordering 2, I will adjust the figure including shipping accordingly).  Questions, comments, you know what to do image .

Oh, and one last bit of fine print...if they end up being $45 instead of $50, I will refund $5 ($5.15 PayPal) for each copy.  I just had to be sure to mention that image .

    That sounds pretty cool. Good for you, and others that can't make it as well.

    postermen: You have a PM image .
  • antofarabiaantofarabia
    wait did you say you're selling these for $10 less than you'll be buying them off NGD to hopefully secure a special edition ditka?
  • mb7241mb7241
    antofarabia: Sounds a bit ludicrous, I know, but basically, yeah.

    And in case you find 2 LE, wouldn't it be fairer to raffle who of the two guys get the other LE ?
  • srh201srh201

    Just cause I'm buying one through Matt doesn't mean I'm not attending. I still want to go, its just about convincing the GF. its her Bday weekend. The 7th. That's the hold up.



    And meeting Thor would be an awesome gift for her.

  • ninfan21ninfan21
    Are there any screenshots of the game? I'd like to check it out.
  • nesworldnesworld
    Put me down for one as well please, if there are any preorder slots left...



    Thanks :-)
  • NationalGameDepotNationalGameDepot
    I do have some screen shots, but I don't plan on posting them till after the expo so the gameplay is fresh for everyone who attends image



    I actually just got the final pieces I need to start the assemble of them, so the Ditka Build began this morning....a freaking TON of work BTW!

    I'm going to have to give some serious thought to this offer. I'll have to watch this thread, make sure I get in under the 20 mark.

    There is a Team NA in the game.  I selected a handful of NA members to be on the team.  It is mostly people who help out with the site, or helped me out with the production process.... Plus there are a few other little NA surprises throughout the game image

    So is the QB for the NA team named NGD or did you just name him "Post Whore" knowing no one would ever beat you? image
  • srh201srh201
    haha at my pace, i may catch up to NGD for posts! okay, so i think i am safe for not showing up with a bikini in the game, cuz i dont help out with the site, other than provide some comedy! but i should get a mention for getting jason back in the dating world! attaboy!!! image play on playa!

    Seth, you are one of the cheerleaders, duh!

  • mb7241mb7241
    I believe I've messaged everyone that's pre-ordered thus far. Only six slots left...I didn't expect them to go this quickly o_O ...
  • srh201srh201
    i hope i am one of the cheerleaders! i want to be the one who sleeps with the QB, but only if the QB is tusker! seeing his pic in the ezine got me all hot and bothered!
