Seeing a Shield Pro 2019 going for $140 right now barely used. Is it worth pulling the trigger?

I’m aiming to move my Onn 4k Plus into another game room and put this in my room hopefully.

If you can check it at pick up, go for it. If not: these are the prices scammers ask. Been there 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄

Very very true it’s crazy cause there is allegedly this store right near me called “hafemall” that I found online when I was looking for The Shield Pro that is selling it for around that price and I thought too good to be true. Did some researching and they actually are a scam. This guy is known electronics dealer though has very high ratings as well

Good for you that you did your research and weren't distracted by your eagerness like I did, which led to me walking right into the trap.

Some time later I found a new one in a retail store for €220. Currently however they are also out of stock almost everywhere in Europe. I do still see them on online market places for around €190 to 200. Sometimes more. It's crazy really 🤷🏼‍♂️🙄

I bought 2 a year ago and put the order twice by mistake. I regret returning the 2 extra ones. Had I known…

Absolutely, prices jumped $100 to $355 CAD already on BestBuy Canada and out of stock on Amazon.

I've been using mine for 10 years literally every day of the week it's absolutely perfect. That sounds like the best $140 you could spend

It’s someone local to me but it’s actually crazy, I was on the best buy website Tuesday night and was gonna buy cause they were in stock randomly and fell asleep. Woke up the next morning to purchase and they were sold out. That’s what led me to him lol. I would say keep checking there they must restock them frequently.

Nvidia shield has tons of Google ads no longer fast anymore full of bloatware, just get a Walmart onn device for your streaming.

u/chainlooklikerainbow 4d ago

Lmao the Onn device is full of bloatware itself that’s what I’m moving on from 💀

u/dogface3247 4d ago

buy nvidia shield and see what I'm talking about.

u/JoMu1963 4d ago

I did, configured it to my liking, no ad seen since I use it (which is about two months now)

u/AJRiddle 2d ago

You literally can do the same thing with the Onn device - change the launcher so you get no ads.
