Holy Grails of Collecting

[Redmagster]

Got offered AC2 - lowest I've ever seen and mint - I broke!! LOL

Normally Ill wait and wait for right price
Explorer for £100???

[NaughtyDogJames]

I got mine when game had a couple for preorder at £99.99. Decent price for content. I refuse to pay eBay prices for anything. That's a nice price for that in mint condition. I'd love one but it's G1 right, besides I'm trying not to stray from ND too much.

It was a direct contact - sometimes you get lucky at auction but lot of time and effort for a good deal then they wrap them in a paper envelope and wonder why it gets knocked...

'But the disc is ok - isn't that the most important bit?' errrr... noo....

[NaughtyDogJames]

I know right, I just spent £100 on a Steelbook with the game that you can pick up for a fiver, of course the disc is what I wanted, that's why I spent the extra £95. Morons. Direct contact is a great way of finding bargains.

[Redmagster]

LOL!! Least someone gets it!! There was a great thread on here - all the 'like new' listings - steelbook has a large dent on the back and rust all over iand the dog chewed up the manual and spat it out but otherwise great condition

Then you wonder how these people have 100% feedback whereas if you're selling something and there's the slightest thing wrong with it you get a negative.

[Redmagster]

It's just down to the buyer sometimes... you'd have to push me really hard to get a neg - even when sellers have been shit I tend to leave it. Keep it honest but only neg if really really bad...

[NaughtyDogJames]

Yeah, the last negative I left was for one guy a few months back when his like Resistance Retribution had about 1.5 cm of te back cover missing, no dlc slip (I'd specifically asked about this) and the whole cover and box was water damaged, he shipped late and then refused to help solve it so I claimed my money back and traded it in. Sometimes it's easier not to leave any at all than to argue over it.

[Redmagster]

Nooo!! I just had a Soul Calibur V CE sent without the game and no outer case - described as 'V. Good and with all original packaging'.... still sorting...

[NaughtyDogJames]

This is one reason I like my local stores, I can inspect them before I buy them. When I bought my Infamous Digipak I wanted one with the art book and DLC slip with a decent condition box with eBay sellers it's a pain trying find out all that.
