Pretty sure I wouldn't buy from here. But that's not because I don't want to support GBAtemp, cause I really do. It's just that I'm in no need for yet another flashcart. At this moment I have 6 flashcarts, out of those 6 I'm fairly sure I'd be fine with just 2 of them.

That's not the problem, GBAtemp doesn't want to get shut down for doing any illegal stuff, that's why they don't host roms or sell flashcarts. Any discussion on homebrew or rom hacking is completely legal, since it's only talk.Soma Cruz said:Strider said:Terrible idea, due to the same reason gbatemp does not host roms.

Can i actually buy that mousepad I need one i have one with surgeouns on it looking at me it kinda freaks me out especially the fact that you cant see there mouths and yes as long as it didnt take as long as dealxtreme
Everybody seems concerned about fickle things like prices and shipping methods and so on......such foolish foolish childish comments ( that's Franzisca speaking not me lol ).
The question here is not about the quality of the service, I'm sure Costello and company would be up to it and run it in a very professional way with adequate service and prices.
The real question here is the integrity of the site.
Up until now we've seen the best unbiased review that you can find anywhere , and that is why GBAtemp is a neutral site and doesn't favor one flashcard over another for bribes and advertising porpoises.
That's why when I read a review I trust you guys and I know that when it comes down to get a new gadget ( soon or later you a re bound to by something new ) I don't have to look any further.
But what will happen if they actually run a shop and accidentally have an overstock of R4s or Neoflash carts ? Could their review suddenly praise the faulty hardware in favor of a boost in sales ? How could you be sure then, that is just their unbiased opinion ?
I would gladly support the forum and by from GBAtemp than any other place, but for peace of mind, let's live it like that.
I'm surprised no one has even thought about it.
What you can do is setup a shop and some how endorse it in the forums and recommend it on the front page , but uder a totally different name, then if the service provided and the prices are right, people would buy from it.
Just my two cents.

well i will buy it if the price isn't EXPENSIVE and there is custom firmware for it like akaio (maybe all coders in temp will work for it
)
Why didn't I see this topic before?
Anyways, of course I'd buy from you guys, you're the most reliable people I know
As long as you don't make things way overpriced though

If they they have good prices, then I probably would because I know it would be reliable and be able to get help easily on delivery and stuff.
First of all, I think it would be hard to match DX's prices. The only good reason to order from GBAtemp would be just to support the site. If you're concerned about delivery times, warranty issues, etc, that comes with ordering online you'd go to a physical shop in your neighbourhood instead. So personally I think it would be hard for a GBAtemp webshop to compete in that field.
In my opinion it would be a better idea to sell the essential stuff that DX and equivalent hongkong sites don't have for sale. For instance, they don't sell modchips, due to Paypal not allowing it. If there are other viable payment options besides Paypal, perhaps that would be a better field for an eventual GBAtemp webshop.

@K3Nv2 I got some cheapies at wallys, that are pretty good, already have lost a few expensive ones (one falls out and gone, can't find) while cutting grass so bought some cheap ones, and of course never lose these cheap ones. (Cheap meaning only $35, compared to air buds which I only have 1 of 2 now)

You would think, esp using bluetooth, not GPS, like a "your getting hot-er" meter on your phone.

I think they should tie up diddy, and let all the victims come and abuse him, we'll make a holiday of it every year. (jk, maybe)
