Title: Buying "Sorcerer" - stupid, but important question
Post by: nEo on May 22, 2002, 12:32:52 PM
I want to buy "Sorcerer", but the only credit card I own is Diners and I could not find any online store supporting it. Can anyone help me?

Hi there,

Here are a couple of suggestions.

1) Register your checking account with Paypal, which permits you to "write checks" electronically.

2) Have a friend with a credit card buy the game, and reimburse them with cash.

3) I assume that you're not near a game store. If I'm incorrect and there is a game store nearby, then ask them to order the game - this is very easy. Tell them that they can contact any major or local distributor, or if they want to, Tundra Sales Organization (my warehouser).

Best,
Ron

What Ron said, and one more thing.  If you have the option with your checking account you can get a check card, too.  

My local game shop ordered my copy for me and had it to me very quickly.  Most small game/comic shops depend on their repeat customers to stay in business, so they usually will do whatever it takes to keep you coming back.  

I'll be speaking to my guy about stocking it regularly so that all of my friends can have a copy, too.  

Good luck!

1) As far as I know, Paypal is not available for users in Poland :-(.

2) I use this solution from time to time, but I would rather prefer not to bother my friend so many times (it seems, however, that this is the only option available).

3) In Poland it is somewhat problematic to do that... though I do have some game stores nearby (but they mostly, if not only, deal in big companies' games).

Yeah, back to 2)...

THX, anyway. Damn that Diners card.

I used to live in Poland for about 2 years. I know a few game shops in a few cities that might order it for you. Where do you live? Tez, mowie plynnie, jesli nie doskonale, po polsku. Jak masz ochote po swojemu pogadac to daj znac...lubie bardzo po polsku rozmawiac.

Oh, actually that gives me an idea...I really want a copy of Wiedzmin, but can't seem to get one. I could pick up Sorcerer for you if you'll send me a copy of Wiedzmin.
