Interest check: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection CE (X360) individual items

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Just curious as to whether anybody would be looking to buy the individual items that make up the Zavvi exclusive Metal Gear Solid HD Collection CE, minus the outer box? X360 version

All items would be brand new and straight from a freshly opened sealed package, but the outer box is in such a bad shape that it's fit for the garbage!


Items include:

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (UK PAL X360) - Factory sealed
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection SteelBook (G1 size)
Metal Gear Artwork Book
Metal Gear T-Shirt - Sealed inside packet


Ideally looking for buyers for the SteelBook, Artwork Book, and T-Shirt to try and re-coup the majority of my costs. I would like to keep the game, but may be persuaded to sell the game + SteelBook together as one entity if a reasonable price is offered

I am also as yet unsure whether the SteelBook is a StickerBook or not, and won't know until I unseal the package. Obviously I'm reluctant to unseal anything until I've secured enough parties interested in buying these individual items. I accept that no collector would want to buy the sealed set in the condition it is currently in, and I would be interested to see whether there is enough demand for these separate items


I would appreciate any constructive comments you guys may have, if you would be kind enough to post below.

I would be interested in the steelbook depending on price or trade you for one off my steelbooks:thumb:

I wouldn't mind the tshirt. That way I dont have to wear mine. How much for that? 15 quid?

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Ok, well that's a start! I'm pretty confident that I could easily shift the SteelBook even if it were soiled with elephant dung, but I'm more concerned about finding interested parties for the T-Shirt and Artwork Book. If I can find anyone interested in those two items, then I would be open to any reasonable offers from anyone who wants them.

Not too sure what people would be willing to pay for the items individually, although I have a rough idea of how to break them down in order to re-coup my initial cost.


Keep the comments coming guys. It's all very useful information, and helpful to anyone else who's also stuck with a damaged copy of this CE looking to split!

you can be safe opening stuff up;

artbook sells for $40 easily; game and steelbok is no problem to sell; and you have a buyer for the t-shirt already ;)

I'm hoping to find private buyers here on the forum before having to resort to eBay to sell the Artwork Book.


@rapidly-greying - Consider it a conditional yes, provided I can find a buyer for the Artwork Book

@Biggav4000 - Also consider it a conditional yes. What kind of price would you be offering for the SteelBook alone (PM me). Do you have any sealed UK SteelBooks for either PS3 or X360? Would be interested in a trade if you have something I'm missing ;)

[rapidly-greying]

Cool mate,just drop me a pm if you want to go through with it.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Definitely going to go ahead with this guys. Just give me the word and I'll do "the deed"...

@rapidly-greying - Consider the T-shirt yours. I'll get back to you via PM shortly

As for everything else, they're up for grabs. Please make me some offers

[asiak75]

Gemini your mailbox is full...

I actually have the zavvi exclusive still boxed and sealed.
But I would be interested in the Artbook though.
How much are you looking for?
I was thinking to offer 25 Euros shipping cost separately?
Does this sound fair?

Let me know.

Regards,

Asiak

Interested in the steelbook if you still have it for sale.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Gemini your mailbox is full...

I've deleted some messages, so if anyone has been trying to PM me, try again now :)


I've found buyers for both the T-shirt and the Artwork Book, and just need someone to buy the SteelBook

I can also confirm that the T-shirt is sealed inside a polythene bag, the game is sealed with cellophane, and the SteelBook is indeed a StickerBook.


Upon seeing what was inside the box, it makes me wonder why the box was so large when the contents would have easily fit inside a box half the size. Beggars belief!

[rapidly-greying]

Pm me your details and i'll forward you the moolah my good man.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Upon close inspection, the SteelBook has several minor dings on the back, probably caused from being rattled around inside the box during transit

Here's a picture so you can see what I mean:

There's one on the left-hand side towards the top, and two others along the bottom edge (one on the blue section, and another on the green section)

Looking for any kind of offers on the SteelBook at this moment, and willing to let it go at a reduced price due to the dents

[psiguy3]

trade for a AC3 steelbook.
Not a fan of stickerbooks but looks cool
