Hah, hey, amazing!

I was talking with DDOS on Sunday in the DRS Discord's work party for the WhyDRS database, and when I heard how he was considering ordering this item from amazon I suggested reaching out for a price match with customer service.

Really glad to see them take care of it, DDOS! Well done!

Thank you for bringing this up to me! If only there could be someone to write some form of script or program to find links of products GameStop sells that are cheaper on Amazon and then generate a list that could be sent to GameStop to price match...

Could be! That's a pretty sweet idea.

I wonder what kind of API or data access apps like https://camelcamelcamel.com/ have? Amazon being so ubiquitous has helped multiple reseller or price tracker services come up. A tool like you suggest might be able to piggyback off one of those.

  • OP contacted GameStop to ask them to match this price.
  • They did

Lol but I actually looked at the picture with the red text, totally ignored the red text and saw the German, and was like “NOT ENGLISH MUST ASK FOR TRANSLATION”

I just worked an all nighter pouring concrete so my brain wasn’t doing so hot.
