Profiteering from Nintendo's amiibos

[WiiCube_2013]

I saw one for CAD $26.88 in total including shipping on eBay.
As far as I know, it could be fake since there are no actual pictures of the amiibo, but I'm going to risk it.

With only 5 days to go, that's probably the real deal. Looks identical.

Wave 4.

They're going to be released next week in UK and I assume retailers such as ShopTo, Amazon and Zavvi (+ Nintendo Store, TheHut) will be dispatching them on or before the release date. I remember getting Mega Man & Sonic 3 days before its official release date.

Why are you guys searching auctions? It's not even out yet. Are you not able to get to a store?

The reason I am is because I'm very impatient, and won't be able to wait until the end of next month

Where did you preorder Ganondorf?

I don't open mine yet so I don't get those urges I guess.

I've also never bought an amiibo before, so that probably is a factor, too.

It was like 4 or 5 days ago from Zavvi. Should've pre-ordered 2-3 more of Ganondorf.

so if you are selling them, how much would you sell the zero suit amiibo once it arrives

I'll let you have Zero Suit Samus for £10.99 + £5 shipping.

well this price is almost the same of importing one from japan or USA, o3o so is relatively good xD now its deppent how much the shipping ... you can look it for me? maybe I can afford this XD

I've checked and shipping to Brazil is same as US, £5. The amiibo's £10.99.

$23.79-ish (as per XE).

Well, if he is interested then send me a PM or post in this topic.

I still have the 2 Greninja amiibos available for anyone who wants. The rest are all taken now -- 4 for me, 8 for a friend and 1 for a US Twitter dude.

Yeah, I'm not going to be an ass and sell them for 3-4 times the price like eBay sellers would even though I could.

I love my amiibos! My Ness is on the way. To date I have every AMIIBO going

I even made an app to catalog my collection:

I found about half a dozen Ness amiibo yesterday at a Target, and was so tempted to get one- just because I knew they were going to be a rarity. But ultimately, I came to my senses. They should be for people who actually want a Ness amiibo. Not some douche who just hoards valuable and/or rare things just for collectors' sake. I'm proud of not being that douche.

Speaking of hoarding Amiibos so others can't buy them, there's a guy out there buying all Rosalinas in the world.

Anyone have a Rosalina for sale?

"pre-order over 100"
Given that is not all that impressive a number I have to assume Nintendo's supply of the things has been capped something fierce.

On the other hand destructoid do seem to have caught the kotaku bug of late.
