Try to ask him



And this is really strange. Even the Amazon UK had it cheaper when converted GBP currency to EUR. Doesn't Amazon have something like "Lower price guarantie"? At least shoudn't be the price across Amazon sites on the same price level?



thanks

and i dont want to pay well over a thousand us dollars on ebay

I think that the shipping limitations you mention are a big hindrance and the market is probably small where they sell. Plus, when you preorder from somewhere like Amazon, you know you will either get the game or if you don't, you are not charged and their return policies are pretty cut and dry.

With larger sellers, as long as you get your order in reasonably quick, you also generally get what you order, not a "we are sorry" email the day before when they find out they only got 5 instead of 50. Overselling stock happens at all levels, but I have had more issues with small sellers not getting what they hoped for and having to cancel.

They may be completely legit, but it wouldn't be a purchase that inspired confidence in me.

Pretty sure they charge the full amount up front as well, which would also hinder mass buying..

Also, the reason why it "doesn't sell on geekay"
1) online ordering of video games is not a common thing in the middle east, collectors from here already use other western or eastern websites.
2) Geekaygames are not very smart or game savvy, it's a business for them
3) it could be a lot more common than we think (if this store is selling it haha)

Edit: 4) their online housekeeping might be bad and allowed people to order more than what they have in Stock (but I really think that not many people use their online system)

THISSSS

I check my email every once in a while to see if they canceled my order. I don't know why I think they are incompetent, maybe because they leaked the pictures for the prestige and after being official they didn't update the prestige's picture.

My ultimate nightmare is that, they may cancel my order the day of the release.
