eBay Countering Scalpers By Removing SNES Mini Listings

While Amazon UK have run out of SNES Mini consoles, eBay has plenty of systems and being sold at a ridiculous high price. Just like the NES Mini, the SNES Mini is currently the target of scalpers. When asked by Eurogamer, eBay has claimed that they’re trying to tackle the problem. According to a spokesperson, the auctioning website removes listings of any item that can’t be delivered within the next 30 days. As the SNES Mini doesn’t release until September, they are slowly removing any being offered. However, this is obviously only a short term solution. Thoughts ?

“We will remove listings for pre-release items and accessories if the release date of the item is more than 30 days away”

Facebook Launches eBay And Craigslist Competitor, Market Place

Facebook has launched Market Place, a new way for users to discover, buy and sell items with other people in their area. In the coming days users in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand who are over 18 years old will see a new shop icon in the bottom menu of the Facebook app. This will load a selection of photos of items that people in your general location are looking to sell.

Get A Second Chance To Pick Up Some Hard To Find Amiibo’s

If you missed out on picking up a few amiibo’s when they were first made available, your second chance is coming soon. Nintendo has stated that Marth, Ike, Meta Knight, and "a few other amiibo" will be once again hitting shelves. Of course as we know, being amiibo, there is a caveat. The figurines will be available in limited quantities "over the next few days," and Nintendo's being vague on the availability. According to the company's Facebook page, collectors need to visit their "local retail stores," or check out retailer websites for timing and availability information. This could lead to them selling out fast leaving the rest of us to resort to eBay. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that and there are plenty of amiibo to go around. What amiibo do you still need to get ? What do you think of amiibo’s ?
