Default Re: StarCraft Collectors Edition (1998)

You're lucky because I have some information about this Collectors Edition. Not a lot but it's better than nothing.

I use to play at Starcraft Brood War a lot (from 2004 to 2010). I also played on the iccup server, which was(is ?) the server were all pro and real SC player use to play (because it have tools to avoid hack and third party program which is cancer in battle.net server). On this server I met some collector, some of them bought several copies of it on internet because it was rare and not a lot of people knew about it.
In 2008, there was around 15 of them :
- On a forum, I know there was two guys that own 3 and 2 editions of the game (I remember it because one was asking for information about the one he had and because he ordered a second one, then another guy come from nowhere with a pictures of 3 of those collectors).
- 2 friends of mine had 6 and 2 copy.

The guy which own 6 of them told me he got them mainly from an Australian shop that had a stocks of them. Which means there should be more wandering in Australia.
Anyway, from what I know, there is only english (UK ?) version of this collector.

I'd love to get it on my hand because I used to play a lot on the game. But not really interested if I had to play X00GBP.
The best you could do is like thetof91 said, make an auction with high buy it now to attract people, then wait for offer or start bidding auction later after letting people know about it.

Also, do you know if the keycode have been registered or not ? Because if not, it's worth mentioning because it can hold some value.
For exemple I ohave my own first print version of SC. The key needed to install the game works like keycode for recent SC/Diablo game which means you can register it on your battle.net profile.

Sorry for grammar mistakes there should be a lot of them but my english is not perfect xD
