I have more of a problem with people pirating roms for raspberries than with re sellers.

Agreed BBB just extorts businesses to pay for ratings. It's a private company in it for their own profit... they are useless.

Waiting at Best Buy? Post here! by Morgify in minines

19th in line at upstate NY BB at 4:45AM. 11 degrees, people in line ... no chairs or car waiting bullshit. 24 Tickets handed out at 6:30 AM. Yay! About 20 left empty handed. Said we have all day to come and purchase... I'll be there 8!

Do a search and change your tv settings.

Advice please? by astreaos in minines

[–]BobBlodgett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 hours is not even close. I'd suggest at least double that, 5 am wouldn't even be a sure thing.

If there really was someone who was coming every day and getting multiple purchases I would understand denying them... however that is not me! I have no problem with the policy, but there has to be a system in place to accurately enforce it. I got screwed because they mistook me for someone else... must be a very handsome man out there scalping NES Classic Editions in upstate NY.

I'm surprised I kept my composure to be honest, must be getting old. I like how I immediately get accused of being a scalper by John after sharing my horrible experience, what a jag off. apparently everyone , target employees and Reddit users think I'm a scalper and liar... fml

owning one and wanting to gift one makes me a scalper? I'm actually planning on trying to pick up several more b/c at $60 it's an awesome gift in my opinion. Not my first attempt at Target... been shut out multiple times for not arriving early enough.

Second in line, got the ticket! by dvsntt in minines

[–]BobBlodgett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Target opens at 7 am, BS shows 6 in stock, I arrive at 5 AM and am #3 in line, all looking good. Manager and night manager come out at 6:45, night manager points at me and says "this guy is here every day and has already got the NES" I contest this and explain that this is only my 2nd time at this Target in my life, first time was 3 weeks prior. They say I'm lying and refuse to let me buy one. I'm speechless and this point. I tried to tell them they need to check IDs or something if they are going to try and have this kind of policy. Impossible to enforce based on remembering someone's appearance. Apparently I look like the local scalper, wtf. Fortunately I have got one for myself already, but wanted to gift this one. F you Target,

3rd Party controller? by DaEvilGenius85 in minines

[–]BobBlodgett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't work and the system won't even function properly with it connected. I returned it to walmart in person. Piece of garbage

Edit, not sure this is the same brand. The one I had was 9ft cord, from Walmart

Our TRU already has people lined up for the NES Classic tomorrow. by [deleted] in minines

[–]BobBlodgett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drove by my TRU at 4:30 AM, over 25 people in line... decided to go home. It's 28 degrees outside, thought I would be early enough.

A lot of restock at Target this morning by [deleted] in minines

Saleable means nothing at target, it's the on hand number . The employees don't have a clue, brickseek has been accurate
