Title: Madden 2001 shortage...
Post by: Eaglepower on February 22, 2001, 02:59:20 PM
I\'ve had my copy of Madden 2001 since launch. I\'ve played it almost every damn day, it is my favorite game. Well I\'m sad, I accidently step on Madden and snapped the SOB. I went to EB to go purchase a new copy, but they told me that they haven\'t seen Madden in weeks. They also told me that they didn\'t know when they will be able to get Madden. They actually said they get more PS2 units in than they do copies of Madden 2001. I live in the Cincinnati and I just got off the phone with every EB in the greater Cincinnati area, and they all are out of Maddens. What gives, I thought this game was selling great, so why the shortages?

Maybe they suck? You can get it anywhere here. You can get it other places than EB ya know?

I got madden, I\'ll ship it to you for 34.99 + shipping of course in any method you choose.  I\'d be more then happy to because NFL2K1 gets so much more play time in my house.  Respond if you want it, I can easily drop to 29.99 if persuaded... but it should be noted, it is used thus the reason for the cheap price.  EB\'s used price is 45.99 BTW.

The merits of selling games online :)  Heh, if I offered to sell it for any less, I wouldn\'t make any profit, and when I say profit, I mean in relation to the trade in value at most game stores for used titles... EB will give me like 15 bucks for it then turn around and resell it for 45.99. Wtf is up with that?  They want money, well I do too. 29.99-34.99 will EASILY cover most of the cost for Metal Slug X for PSX next month... yah, I am a Metal Slug whore just like I am a Metal Gear whore... sue me. :)

Yeah, you are right, but the funny thing in the first post is that you backed off 5 bucks in your own message.
