First of all, is this availible anywhere still?
Secondly, if I manage to get ahold of one, can I add the preorder code onto my existing Nightfall game and still get the bonuses?

If you can find one I'm sure they still work, it is just another activation code. Read the box, make sure it is the bonus pack that includes the weapons and character slot and not just some "pre-order reserve me a real game" thing from some store.
Also make sure it is new, not used, you can't add a used code to your game.

Ahh, thanks for the reply. Found a bunch on Ebay for around $5 plus S&H. They're calling them Pre-release packs, not preorder, which is why I couldn't find them the first time I looked.

cause that's what ANet called them

Just ensure that they are "sealed". I'd be hesitant about buying from ebay - simply because you can't really be sure that those key's haven't been used before. As you can't add used key's to your account.. so if you buy a used key, you just got ripped off.
However, if they are unused key's and are the NF Pre-release, all you need to do is add the key to your account (like you would add a key for a chapter - "Add key" before logging in) and you'll then have access to the bonus weapon's by typing /bonus.

Actually, ive had little trouble buying stuff for other games on ebay. (got my COH collector's edition for $5 back when it was still going for full price in stores)
Especially nowadays when things like software have to list the condition it's in, if the seller lists it as "New" or "Sealed", and it shows up otherwise, it's relatively easy to get one's money back. As always, caution is advised, but in my experience, far fewer people on Ebay are trying to screw you than people would have you believe.

Just another Ebay scammer. Fortunately I paid using Paypal so I can eventually get a refund.

I am REALLY concerned at this point seeing 1 person basically get scammed and 1 person have no issues at all. I hope that first person was only a random incident...
Anyway, i guess the OP can see the NF Preorder pack is available but can be a risky venture now that it is much more difficult to find...
Cheers!

$5 Character Slot is the main thing that caught my eye when I bought the Pre-Release Bonus Pack before Nightfall came out. The weapons are just ok...can't mod them...

I have put in a claim for a refund with Paypal.
Good luck to anyone else who orders from Phoenix Trading.

Likewise, Batou, for your sake I hope Shanaya's experience was a fluke.
I'll admit, after hearing her mention Phoenix Trading by name, I was apprehensive, but having also paid via PayPal I wasn't too worried, either Id get my code, or id get my $ back. Fortunately in my case there were no issues. Either way, it would be interesting to hear your results.
If it werent for the part where theyre ignoring you Shanaya, id almost be inclided to blame it on a random disgruntled employee
