There were 3 in target when I went there the other day. I'm not saying which but it's one in colorado. If you care and live nearby you can figure out which one has it with 15 minutes of phone calls.

If you have any family across the country, call them up and ask them to purchase it for you after you transfer them the funds.

I've bought 5 for my extended family and shipped it to them. Think outside the box Anon.

Those are misleading because they count preorders as active stock. Good way call store and ask for manager.

Pro way drive to store and ask for manager. If you have a sister or female friend they're a bonus to get faggots to actually check or not lie.

I managed to get one from ThinkGeek (holy fuck I'm never shopping there again unless I have to) but all they had was bundles with useless shit. So I just got the cheapest one which came with a Zelda watch and since Zelda fans are retarded I can sell it for profit on ebay.

Pre-order from the next shipment from Gamestop.

I apologize, my previous comment was very rude. Do it anyways though and take time off from gaymen so you can enjoy it again when you are less apathetic about it.

>>384427029
How can you get scammed when you're the person scamming? You really are retarded.
>>
>>384426837
Not true.
That site is pretty good. I got my switch from gamestop after I saw a 5 minute update spike after lunch. Managed to pick one up and they had 3 left.
>>
>>384423437
why would you want to play such a stupid game
>>
>>384425908
What time do they update these things?
I would usually go hunting at around noon (because lunch hour) but no matter what this site said, none of the stores actually had any.
>>
>>384423437

they restock every few days on amazon prime homo

You're not my real dad, you can't tell me what to do
>>
>>384427029
>ike how would i keep myself from getting scammed, i've never sold anything online.

Let me give you a comprehensive list so you dont get lost.

Step 1. BUY MULTIPLE SWITCHES
at this step you can set one aside for yourself or you can buy all them for to sell. Remember, you will be at least making your money back on these eventually so go wild

>Step 2.
Make a ebay post for a switch. Follow the instructions, Then start the bid at something a little lower than what you paid for it. (Say you payed 250 for it, start the bid at 230 to entice some buyers)

>step 3
Watch as the bid goes out of control as somebody HAS TO HAVE IT for their spoiled brat and its outsold in their area and you become a rich man

Literally so easy someone with downs could do it
>>
>>384429434
Son, I fuck your mom on the side enough to be 3 of your dads.
>>
A lot of stores have 'em in stock in Sweden.
Waiting for my Switch + Zelda to show up in the mail in about 6 hours
>>
>>384423437
Nintendo World NYC usually has them in stock. Call em up and ask if you actually want to find one.
>>
>>384429792
>Literally so easy someone with downs could do it
>tfw don't have downs
No scalping for me

>>384430304
Think about him when you get your Switch for Pokemon.
>>
>>384430304
Downs not necessary.

Seriously, just by setting the price low, you get people to at least watch your offer. Inevitably, once enough people are looking at and watching the product, someone will freak out and place a starting bid even though it is days from ending. The hook is in and you are practically guaranteed to at least make a small profit.

Now normally smart bidders wait until the last day to bid, because even placing low bids early on can drive up the final bids considerably, as people often begin to try and outbid existing bids once bidding fires up. But since someone was worried about all the views and watchers, they bid early on, and now others will try to slowly outbid them. The price keeps creeping up through the bidding period, and by the time it ends, you have decent odds of it having been driven up quite high.

If you really luck out, buyers might forget to set a reasonable maximum bid, and get swept up in the mindset of "I want this, so I have to outbid this other jackass." At this point, people might want the feeling of being the successful bidder just as much as they wanted the actual item. This is pure profit for you.

>>384423437
I ended up getting one from europe, cost maybe 10 bucks due to shipping but it's worth it to not pay fucking scalpers

>>384423437
If you're in NYC and have a prime membership this things were available for like a solid 3 days at the Amazon bookstore in Columbus Circle Mall.

Manhattanfag here, you guys are full of shit. I go to the Nintendo store every couple of weeks cause I work a few blocks away from it. I only managed to get a Switch through Amazon alerts.

I have literally never seen Switches in stock there and in fact when they do have them on a blue moon, they literally announce it on twitter.

https://twitter.com/NintendoNYC

Look and see how long its been since they announced it. Shit, they do the same thing with the NES mini.

Were you there on 9/11, OP?

Talk to the guy at the register on the 1st floor. The switches are right in his area. That's where he took out mine.

Ya fucking doofus. Or 9-6er.

>>384426884
There's little to no money in scalping Switches when they sell for $380-400. You think there's $80-100 but there's not after you subtract tax, fees, shipping, etc
