WTB: Silver Phantom Hourglass DS Lite

[tcon7]

After reading this thread, I was a little reluctant to post (especially as my 1st post).

I'm the guy that won that auction in your link a few posts back. First, let me say I now feel real bad about taking the item from Iwatasan. All I wanted to do was buy myself something nice for the holidays. For what it's worth, I will be on the look out from now on for another Silver Phantom DS Lite.

But, don't lose hope Iwatasan. I am seeing more and more rare Zelda items on Ebay. For example, I was recently able to acquire the Zelda Oracle of Ages / Oracle of Seasons Limited Edition. It was a little damaged (picture makes it look much worse), but still sealed (possibly resealed?). I was able to get it with shipping for 480 GBP, so it was kind of a compromise for me.

Also, here is another one that just sold from the same seller. This buyer may have gotten a better deal.

Now, here are two other limited editions that sold earlier this year. These were not damaged and went for $1200 and $1500.

Anyway, my point is that only 500 of this limited edition were produced and it has appeared 4 times on Ebay this year alone. I think you would only see this bundle about twice a year in the past. Another Silver Phantom DS Lite WILL pop up again sooner than you may think, Iwatasan (and I hope one does).

I didn't mean to go off topic, but I had to get this out of my system. Btw, I would be happy to provide pictures of the DS itself for anyone looking to buy one without the box. I know how hard it is to find any info about this Phantom DS bundle.
