ShopTemp (V1) R.I.P.

[dice]

They tended to take the advertising spots and then not actually send out the prizes.

Really? That's news to me, because I've had dealings with most sponsors, holding things like private raffles and whatnot, and both of them fulfilled their end of the deal.

Just because you've had a positive experience doesn't mean you should assume the same for everyone else.

Ace Gunman but what will happen with the store credit we have NOW .

For example

I have 27.95 of store credit.

So , what will happen with our store credit the credit we have NOW, will it be available on Shoptemp (V2), or can we make a transfer to our paypal or are we simply gonna lose the store credit.

This is comparable to you asking the manager of your local Independent store if you can still use your store credit, after the building's collapsed...

I think it'd be more than understandable if the money's gone for good, otherwise everyone I'm sure will be notified of how they can claim their funds at some point..

But if I were you I'd assume that it's gone.

That's one, there was another I think. GBAtemp's been cheated in deals like this multiple times (and some sites like ndscards@le were hijacking forum accounts to spam ads here at other times), that's part of the reason shoptemp came into existence, because they needed a shop they could trust.

EDIT: This was at Ryukouki, I just left the page open too long before posting.

Nintendo, the Grinch who stole Tempmas. Anyway, we should still hold a Tempmas. Is Shoptemp closing all together, or are they still selling the Dingoo, and other devices? I'm asking, because I can still add items to my Cart....

 

[thejokerss]

Can we at least use our store credit to buy some cards?

I am sure they are sitting on a huge stock of flashcards atm, least they can do is repay those who helped them get this big and profitable get a flashcard in return

Ahhh, I remember when those topics came out. Yeah, I see what you mean now. It's really a shame that there's no fun little contest to get into the spirit this year... unless you count my raffle.

Good bye ShopTemp! I did not know you well.

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

Aww man ShopTemp had awesome prices and great reliability I really wish V2 will be just as awesome.

Okay I only have one question.

Who SNITCHED...?

rats arent supposed to make it throught the rat trap, when you see 'em, how you greet 'em make that gat clap.
cat naps are for cats, so i dont take them, cool on the move, when you move let me shake him.

okay that aside...seriously, im tired of honest pirates, getting the bad hand and the middle finger because of this.
we should screen all new joiners to gbatemp and block ourselves from google search...underground is where shoptemp needs to go. we should make it a black market gig. and not let the feds in on it this time...

all tangents aside, im going to miss shoptemp. it was a respectable site, for my non-respectable behavior. im not admitting to piracy, because i own all my games...but i really do hate looking like a geek with all my games in a nintendo ds looking purse. no homo.
so flashcards are only logical. and plus homebrew is where it is at and corporations should stop with their greed and hatred for humanity...and we should all just live in peace and stop dying...lol

TO SHOPTEMP, Version 1
REST IN PEACE...

Guys, they're not taking ANY orders at all. The completely shut down. It's 100% dead. It even says so on the site they're no longer taking orders. Even if you have store credit, you can't use it.

 

[NostalgicMillennial]

they raped, pillaged and destroyed the house....

...how do you [censored] a house?

figuratively speaking O_O

in this aspect "rap3" means to completely decimate something

Honestly, I expected this. You take a flashcard seller, affiliate it with a wellknown and popular site, this happens. You open the shop up to insane amounts of traffic, and thus, many, many people know about it. No one even had to snitch, as you put it. All it took was a simple google search for GBAtemp, see that they flaunted Shoptemp a little too much, and bam. C&D sent. I expected this to happen, really.

Since the site opened in April 6th and shipped their final orders around December 6th, they made a bit more than 23000 total orders.
Some rough math, in the 8 months (244 days) they operated then they made about 94 sales a day.

It's true though, GBAtemp are pretty much known as the go-to-guys for flashcarts.

Well, I placed an order before they announced this, and on their site before the notice was up, and this was the order number:

23243

Really sucks for those who spent weeks building credit/referals

Tell me how you order turns out, since I ordered mine about 200 orders before yours and what applies to yours might apply to mine.

Well it's close. I ordered my stuff little before 3:21am PST. And this topic, was created at 7:39am PST. So it's damn tough to tell if I'll get my stuff.
