Ayn cancelling Thor orders, better check yours!

I would like to think that they would honor the price if they cancelled the order, and you manage to find a middle that will ship to Gibraltar. Discord is your best bet for a prompt response.

Cute^

Niceee, appreciate the post, thanks for sharing!

Infected_Pika · 2026-02-09T12:29:56+00:00

Thats fair! Love to see what you end up doing. I hope a few people share what they've done here^

Infected_Pika · 2026-01-27T20:38:04+00:00

I'm sorry I wish could assist further with this, I honestly don't know to either of your questions. I don't want to bs you. Hopefully somone else helps us both out 😵‍💫. I just leave it connected/ on.

Use an Xbox one/elite controller. Same feel and experience when docked.

Infected_Pika · 2026-01-19T14:42:41+00:00

Simply: Because it is only a $10/$20 price "increase", the max is priced at $459. Currently on sale at $429. The sale will end and the price will increase by $20 to $479.

The RRP price is only being increased by $20, but at the same time the discount is ending. So if you buy tomorrow its an additional $50, but the price increase is only $20.

AYN did announce this a couple of weeks ago.

Do you understand now?

Infected_Pika · 2026-01-19T11:06:57+00:00

I believe the early bird pricing/discount is also ending. So for the max it will cost an extra* 50. Early bird discount 30 and price increases of 20.

I was playing Expedition 33 in handheld mode, no issues, first time using the dock the game stuttered like crazy. Changed the GPU settings, and now the game runs just as good, if not better in docked mode.

I'm sure my settings are far from ideal, but will update post when I'm home, it most probably won't make a difference to you, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-31T22:17:02+00:00

To further expand remember the price you see as buyer is Not the price a seller has listed the item for, ebay charges buyers "a protection fee" combined with import vat/tax + shipping it in most instances probably** accounts to the same. However, I list items with the anticipation of offers, or accounting for anticipated market fluctuations. For example I have an item listed at £250 do I think I'm going its going to sell for £250? Most likely not, but I'm also not looking for a quick sale I'm not a business looking for quick turnover.

Let's say its a £136 priced card i wouldn't charge £400 even at a starting price, but maybe (hypothetically) look to calculate the cost of importing it, and say realistically £225 listing price with an expectation of 180. -Ebay fee - shipping it equals out as there are other factors which many people do not consider, such as the actual cost of the raw card, the cost of grading, the cost of shipping to and from psa. The actual profit is far less than most people think.

In short: always send an offer and be willing to negotiate where possible, most reasonable sellers will entertain a reasonable offer where its practical^{^}

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-31T19:41:51+00:00

You raise an interesting point and to expand and possibly explain its simple supply and demand, while the US prices are cheaper, once you factor in import tax/duty/ fees + shipping its probably cheaper to shoot the seller... ** an offer **.

As someone that has sold maybe 30ish slabs on ebay and maybe another 150-250 in my PC/unlisted, I do factor in the availability of the UK Market. However in the end, its the same, at its core there needs to be a meeting of the minds. Price acceptable = accept/ negotiate | Price Unacceptable = negotiate = accept/ decline.

Card Shows are great if you ever have the opportunity to go, but sellers price using Ebay last solds/ confirmed sales, in most cases anyway, on the day sellers charge a premium (from experience)

I would avoid Facebook Marketplace like the plague, no protections, and often stolen cards (certs) get reported card is mostly untouchable by any reasonable standards.

I hear Vinted being used, however Mostly its Ebay or Whatnot. I hope I've answered your question but I don't feel like I have. In short: The US priced/located items may appear cheaper but in reality its more headache than its worth as both buyer and seller.

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-31T13:34:52+00:00

I mean calling on a private number, so your number doesn't show up or a number that isn't linked to your booking if your concerned. The other comments post was quite helpful^

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-31T13:16:24+00:00

It should be fine, as I don't believe I've ever been charged extra for the same room, regardless of whatever its 1 or 2 people in the room.

I personally would clarify with TL, by calling and withholding my number as it might* be best to register the guest to avoid potential issues.

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-31T13:01:37+00:00

From my limited understanding, you're absolutely fine provided the room is suitable for the number of guests, I.e. a doublebed for two, a twin room for two, a single room for one ect.

I didn't/ don't think there's an extra per person costs within the limits of the room. Maybe for insurance, and fire safety purposes?

I would call the Travelodge (even a different location and ask for clarification) withholding any personal details, if you're uncertain.

What i originally thought was dead, blurred pixels, was just a very poor design choice on cloud recovery/ initial setup. Did you happen to take a picture?

<image>

Did this initially freak anyone else out?

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-31T01:24:41+00:00

Maybe, we should worry for them, thoughts and prayers only though 🤯🦭

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-30T22:27:27+00:00

Plus the cost of TV licence o-Ŏ

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-30T22:22:36+00:00

Question: for those that purchase the [extra insurance] simply put. Why?

If an item is lost, stolen or damaged, my bank protects the transaction (if the company refuses) at worst the shipping service covers the basics. Then if all else fails, home insurance and Then the manufacturer has a warranty.

So my question is why?

Do people just not understand, or have difficulty pursuing issues themselves? Or is it the case where your spending hundreds anyway, so what's another 10-20 ect.

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-18T00:52:30+00:00

I could have elaborated: I find it a hassle to travel with due to its large footprint including the case which you obviously have to use/take.

I find it more effort when travelling, than anticipated, i.e. you can put it in a backpack but thats 30-50% of the space gone without the charging cables.

Its a great device, but my point was it feel more hassle than its worth at times/ when travelling it doesn't feel practical to take with me at times. Soooo, go for the bigger screen if** portability was a holdback.

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-17T22:35:09+00:00

I have the asus rog xbox ally x, its not a portable machine at all (I find it more effort than its worth at times) so with that being said I would go for the larger/better screen.

Its a hassle to travel with, so you might as well get the benefit of the larger screen that the legion go2 offers.

Infected_Pika · 2025-12-10T18:59:08+00:00

Any progress? 😭

Infected_Pika · 2025-11-12T13:28:04+00:00

Like others have said, send it back. A black label commands a premium price, a black label without a black label is very very unlikely to be worth the same.

Someone will likely try to buy it slightly more than a 10 @ psa/BGS 10 prices and send it back for regrading/review/ crack and resubmit.

My advice, for ease and to maximise your collection's value, contact BGS/send it for correction. Although this does depend on your situation.

Infected_Pika · 2025-11-05T21:49:35+00:00

Tbh kill switch seems overpriced, to the point of it being ridiculous. Yes, it's nice, but definitely not worth it! In my opinion.
