As title says, a New 3DS XL Hyrule Edition console for £153. The next cheapest after this is the Nintendo one, with a statue and a charger for £179.99. If you didn't want either, then this saves you a few quid =)
Still can't decide myself if these are going to be worth anything once released. The Majoras Mask edition is worth £280 and the link between worlds one is worth £270 - Thoughts?

Far as I'm concerned, it's capitalism. The item is there to be bought by all and is there to be sold by all.
Every retailer you deal with is a scalper, hence the word re-tailer. They re-sell items they haven't made.Amazon, will buy from a warehouse. They don't make the item. Therefore, Amazon, the biggest retailer in the UK, is a scalper, no one seems to mind. A small seller on the other hand...
Have you ever tried buying stock as a small seller or company? I've sent out 40-50 emails to warehouses, stores and wholesalers asking for stock lists and prices. The majority simply ignore you and a few laugh at you with mocking replies. If wholesalers were actually willing to deal with smaller traders, then we wouldn't need to use commercial sites; but they don't, so it becomes a fight for scraps.
Last point; companies purposefully make limited amounts of items so that the price goes up. E.g. An Xbox Elite controller; gold dust. You really believe Microsoft can't make more of them quicker? They don't because the less there is of an item, the higher its value.

People who scalp are the worst kind of people and they actually harm the value of collectables. Buy if you want it, if you don't want it, let someone who does buy it

agree completely. most of the supposed "collectable" items are worth less than at release anyway.

How many bought those snes games for less than their release price, only to see them rise to more than what they had paid for it?

Had it ordered with Nintendo UK but switched my order. Thanks OP. May have to let one of my other special editions go to fund this but imo this is the best looking one yet!

Also, most peripherals that Nintendo has officially released in a gold colour has always been sought after. Unfortunately though it appears the inside of this 3ds xl is black plastic, just a gold outer shell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHGs5q-_lN8

Will the money be taken now or upon release?
Great price, been looking at one for ages! So tempted
**EDIT**
Just read up on Amazon's pre-order policy. Order placed, lovely!
Thanks OP.
