And yeah, they ship in the worst possible ways at times, I've been lucky everytime so far, so I really hope this is not the one that they fuck for me :/ xx

I think the seller(company) would check their account, so I'm not worried about that.

But Zavvi shipping like that is unacceptable! Don't people atleast complain to their customer service then?

Also Mike1888: I hope they did lol!

Yeah, people complain, but as far as I know, they've gotten a bit better, so just hoping they stay okay for this release!

I've ordered quite a lot from them in the past, and as mentioned previously, have all turned up in perfect condition, so I am pleading with God that my copy turns up okay

has anyone contacted zavvi? although I don't buy much stuff from them when i bought my rapture edition that got sent in a box

I'm sure with all the hype around this release, Zavvi will make sure they send in better packaging. hmmmmmmmmmmmm wouldn't they. It's good idea to ask, so will enquire via twitter, lets see if they reply.

In terms of profit, I'm not sure. I see for some reason the huge price the mirror edge steel book is going for and could sell my copy for a huge profit. But I got it to collect and not to sell on. It would be one of the last items to sell on. The last item of course would be my Dead space ultra VGA, lol.

the mirrors edge auction is that abit of a freak auction, or is that its actual value?

Mike1888 · #**228** 10-12-2011, 11:10 PM

Actual value I'd say. Saddening though, with this auction goes my hope of ever completing my PS steelbook collection.

To be honest I have no idea, it's the first ever time I have seen it for sale anywhere. It's that rare. At least outside Spain.

I though I paid the going rate, just purchased it because I really wanted it.

If the price is right and the buyer pays then we have something truly remarkable, that is an Edition that will pop up very rarely and go for a huge amounts with many bidders . But if this sale sparks other sellers to start listing and flood the market, the price will drop so fast. It's really is an unknown, one of those items that will not likely show up often but cause news stories on many forums and video game blogs and sites.

vhal_x- Haha I guess I will be pleading with God with you.

fattyuk- The Mafia lamp looks like it would be worth atleast $200 and if someone wants it really bad maybe $400.

I have seen replica MGS guns such as the lamp go for around that price so thats what I'm basing it on.

gurpswoo1- What did your dead space ultra get from VGA? Aren't you selling another one?

Mike1888- You will get definitely get another chance to complete your collection, trust me there will be a person that doesn't know the value of that steelbook and probably put it on buy it now.

I am going to like to looking at the final moments of the mirrors edge steelbook, it will probably be pretty crazy.
