Items always sell for more then they break down as separately. Sometimes quite a bit more.

sell some then say so, it makes no sense to say that production may be stupidly high or game may tank

singular sought after item like a steelbook may sell for a bit bu to say every item in a ce is worth more on its own just dont make sense

some of those totals posted prior worked out to nearly double rrp

I did not say his totals were right...

I simply said most of the time the items are worth more separately.

For example Ascension, sold for $80 for the collectors edition. Here is facts of what I sold items for (some of the way after launch).

Game was $60 of the cost (I did not sell this until way after and got $30 for it with no case)

Steelbook: $20

PSASBR DLC: $8

Season Pass: $20

Kratos Statue: $20 (and I sold this after I sold the game)

So lets review... the game was $60 of the original cost, so the other items sold separately sold for a total of $68.

$60 + $68= $120 compared to the $80 original cost. Even if you take out what I lost on the cost of the game when i sold it I was still ahead after all of it.

so 98 dollars total and you got to play the game and made 18 dollars? is that minus ebay fees

no worries mate, i do me working out based on how the teired edition fit into the main edition gta v

game 40
steel 20
map 10
equates to what the special edition costs in the uk

i dont encourage it but realistically speaking the most lucrative item in a collectors edition is dlc that is only available in a collectors edition as there are so many that do not want to buy the ce but want the dlc

it cost nothing to ship as it has no real tangible form, and usually gets a good bit if it add a lot to the game or is a popular game

Hmmm... might not include all of the fees. Not sure.

I would say I was at least $15 ahead when it was over with. I did not go in intending to make money on it.

But when I find I don't want something anymore i just list it. Or if I don;t want DLC I just list it.

Funny thing is most of those items I listed a couple dollars less then everyone else to sell them fast and fairer.

You are right about the DLC... people are nuts for DLC.

I sold the DLC you get from the Ascension mini game from the website for $18 and that was almost half what others were trying to get for it. It sold instantly at that price, people are insane.

Alright guys, now that the TLoU frenzy is on, anyone care to take a stab at assessing value for my TLoU giclee poster...not that it's for sale or anything like that, 'cause it ain't.

It's an oversize giclee print that's been mounted on artist board (I did not mount it, this is the way that the poster was issued.) It's also a limited edition print of only 40 total pieces worldwide; and it's hand signed as well.

They also released this same image in the form of a promotional mini poster. The mini poster is not nearly as good (in terms of overall quality) as the oversize giclee though. You can see a comparison of the two here:

Thanks guys!

Does the big one have a real sig? If so and the craze goes on over this game then it could be worth a couple hundred I would think.

I see the smaller one is signed as well... where are these originally from (not how you got them)?

MortalMonday · #**2609** 06-06-2013, 08:37 AM

The little ones were handed out at PAX exclusively. They handed them out to pretty much anyone that rolled through the The Last of Us booth, though I believe they only made 3,000 of the little ones. Some of the little ones were signed as well.

The big one is hand signed.

Very nice... congrats on the acquisitions Mortal

I forgot to take into account ah there are only 40 of them... I would say $300-$400 during hype times. Maybe it will settle to $200-$300 after awhile. This is just a guess and not a very educated one.

Also I am only basing this on what happened with the hype with Bioshock... so might not be a proper comparison.
