GBAtemp Presents... ShopTemp.net!

[chyyran]

Yeah, It is basically an improved trading section (partly)

 

[RupeeClock]

i thought this was a joke that shoptemp was back then i saw that it wasn't selling directly

but it's still good that they are back, on top of that there is a lot of UK websites to buy from so that is good for me, i am not sure why the hell they have mr modchips on there though :S i have heard way too much bad stuff about them.

Shoptemp's effort is to be an index for all your flashcart and modding needs, as far as shopping goes.
If you've had a bad experience with an online store, by all means, leave them a bad review on their Shoptemp entry.

that's exactly the point.
if you happen to have had bad experience with a store, you have to share this with everyone-- post a review.
We have contacted mr modchips and they have been extremely rude to us, I'm not surprised to hear of bad experiences with them.

omg the new version is epic i first i was like wtf you dont even sell flashcarts but after looking around its amazing it list prices of all flashcarts from tons of sites. so u can get the best price with the best seller which in turn might make people lower their prices to be competitive which would benefit the consumer which is awesome

any store is open to making an account on the site, regardless of their reputation - if anything the new shoptemp will discourage (and highlight) bad dealers.

QUOTE(ron975 @ Feb 10 2011, 04:47 PM) Yeah, It is basically an improved trading section (partly)

The trading section has multiple flaws, such as it is nothing more than a discussion area - terms and the like must be discussed/decided upon by people which can limit deals.

 

[ThePowerOutage]

Yes!
Been looking for a decent uk retailer for a while.

 

[Schlupi]

So, is there any way to add items to the catalog? I really want to add some things.

yeah that is a bad thing that ANYONE can make a account and start scamming people, hopefully a lot of people put in some decent feedback on who is the bad sellers and who is the good ones, also i am curious as to why the Trading marketplace don't need any posts before you can register as a seller? hopefully a decent feedback system so stop scammers on there too.

yep, just be careful who you choose to buy from, i would wait for customer reviews before i start buying, btw ghost2fitter is a respected website i have been using them for a long time

 

[GH0ST]

Nice ... links are fine but there is no link to the product within the Products discussion thread itself ?

Your submitted items need to be approved first.
You also need to log in of course.

I will be adding that tomorrow

I ordered from realhotstuff.hk earlier, a CycloDS iEvolution, based on Shoptemp's info.
Why them? They're Hong-Kong based and that's usually been good for low prices and fair shipping rates, much like Shoptemp was.
As a UK citizen, if I ordered from their US site, I may expect to pay more for both the shipping and flashcart because of US economy.
In any case, I plan to leave a review about my experience with the site when my order arrives, hopefully I can expect about 1-2 weeks shipping since it's Hong Kong post, and it's not Christmas.

Edit: I just noticed there's no product links inserted on page 5, is that a deliberate thing?

So one thing: What happened to all of the store credit that we had stored up? For example, I had the $63.00 in store credit, I take it that's trashed now?

But eh, good idea, doesn't appeal to me. Won't really be going to ShopTemp from now on.

Eh, that's quite a bit you had. Sorry to say that you most likely won't be getting it. That URL is now GBAtemp's, and the actual ShopTemp is gone. I think that this is a better compromise than any of us could've hoped for. I'm hoping someone gets tired of their Open Pandora soon.

That's what I'm wondering about as well, although I only had $7.07.

 

[Exsoul01]

Wow this is nice, and it makes shopping much easier.

C'mon, Costello! There should be some sort of compensation for it.

Even if just a little. Also, Like to see my product recommendation was added quickly! In less than an hour.

Good ol' E-Link GBA cart.

I was lucky, and managed to spend everything I had left.
Walked away with 3 DStwos, an Acekard, and 12gb of memory, they made great xmas gifts.

 

[Schlupi]

I think besides the obvious selling things, we should be able to make some extra cash/credit on the new ShopTemp too. That would be cool. Even if it is just FileTrip references, or something simple like before. We could link to sponsor sites or something.

When you go to iedge, when you hit features it says Flashable firwmare instead of firmware. lolk

Nice to have shoptemp back
