The DSTWO discount has ended!

[redact]

Wang = Supercard team product manager?

do you recall the name on your paypal receipt from shoptemp?

it's costello's friend and owner of shoptemp

 

[BoxShot]

Never ordered anything and I have been saying I'm broke on irc when tempcast was on and around here.

I was guessing SC product manager since you mentioned SCDS2 and a guy I don't know together. Since there was a special deal.

I saw the thread here and pre-ordered the card.

I guess, though, if you sleep for 12 hours a day, and were asleep through the whole promotion period, then that would be a bit disappointing.

Hopefully there will be a coupon for GBA temp folks when it is released...

Here's hoping!

Couple of things to talk about folks. First off, the promotion period wasn't based around time, it was based around number of customers. After 100 customers it was to end. That could have taken 15 minutes or 15 days, there was no set time limit. However, ShopTemp then extended the period just a little bit longer to make up for downtimes while taking a loss on each extra cart sold.

However, ShopTemp was then contacted by the Supercard team, who have been pressured by other shops to stop the promotion immediately (thankfully this came after all of the 100 sales has come in, lucky for you folks

). So even though the shop would have been absolutely fine keeping that deal going a bit longer, since the Supercard team had been good enough to give you guys the deal in the first place, it was only fair to comply with their request.

Which brings me to my second bit of news. The DSTWO has been raised to $39.95 USD. It's only a few dollars more and still much lower than the original projected price most had of $50 - $80. Again this was done in response to a Supercard team request worrying about demand exceeding production. ShopTemp is absolutely committed to giving you the best prices they can, and thanks for listening.

Wow, price fixing already? I gotta say that was quick, haha.

So does this means prices will go back down to say... $29.99 when supplies have stabilized?

 

[BoxShot]

*sigh* Damn other shops.

Alright $5 more than I was willing to pay for might be worth it. Yet again I don't have cash now.

It depends on what Supercard was offering for a stock price, but in theory yes, after a period of time ShopTemp could go back to a lower price point. Though this one isn't bad, I recall the days of new GBA flashcarts when carts would cost you $60 - $100. I don't miss those prices.

 

[Schizoanalysis]

I think there should be a secret discount code for GBAtemp regulars... (or at least a bulkrate discount)

The former should be passed by pm or emails.

Haha too many of us buying them means gbatemp shoptemp loses money.

A secret code wouldn't change anything since one of the other codes has been posted on a "deals-site" (can't remember the name) by one of our members and I'm positive that this will happen again, even with a secret code.

And those carts were definitely the cheaper ones, I remember paying about 200 EUR per cart back in the days of Lik-Sang.

^^^^

Unless, you can somehow tie in your GBAtemp account when ordering so that the "secret code" would work.

Not surprising. They must've seen their future sales going out the window with ShopTemp's great deal on the DSTWO. However, given how much of the flashcart community reads or posts here, I think ShopTemp is going to put a serious dent in their future sales, regardless.

How, how?

I had it in my cart at the cheap rate, but it is no longer there.
I want to buy a couple for friends -- is there a way to get it back at the cheap rate?
