Default Re: What would an MK Press Kit be worth?

What I've noticed is that because of the really low quality box (the cardboard is sooo thin), its very hard to find one in decent condition. Yours however looks very good so I think it'd be worth more than normal because of that.

Mine is in near mint condition. There's only one little ditch on the top-left of the box. Other then that, it's clean as it can get.




Noticed one on the internet that went for a mere 160 GBP (around 200 euro's ?)... but not sure in what condition that one was, because there was no picture at all (since it was sold a while ago).

Nice, mine is completely bent all over, pushed in, just an overall wreck lol. Yeah I'd value a mint one like that at like $200 +?

Good to hear.
The one I had found, without pictures or something, went for 160 GBP. But, unknown in what condition it went at.

160 GBP >> € 200ish >> $250ish

Think I'll make some more pictures soon, and see what I can get for it.
In this condition, I guess there will be some people interested.

Yours looks in immacualte condition considering the flimsy nature of the box. It should easily sell for over Eur 200.

Mine doesn't have the outer box and the t-shirt but went for £20-something - oh and it includes a few press papers as well. I also lost a complete one that ended for a little over £50 because I didn't place a bid on time and another one for about £60 because the seller wouldn't send to me. Then I've seen it go for over £100 a couple of times and I thought it was excessive. I didn't follow the rest of the auctions but damn this press kit is pretty weak and fragile to be worth such prices.

Edit: That press kit is also missing the fact sheet and the 3d glasses.

Which is the very reason the MK preskit on this thread would go for higher price. Despite the fragile nature its still in near mint condition. I would recommend trellgoth to store it inside an additional corton to avoid any further dengs/dents. Just my 2 cents there

Sure, I understand your opinion, but even still I find it hard to believe it is worth so much: content-wise, material-wise, etc etc. There are so many press kits so much better than this and going for much less or equal that price, not to mention this appeared quite a few times on ebay, belongs to a popular franchise and it was available for both ps3 and xbox (meaning that there are probably quite a few out there compared to other press kits). It doesn't even include a promotional copy of the game as the promo copy was bundled separately...

Just my 2 cents as well, which makes 4 cents already. How much is a gum in your country?

My press kit had XBox 360 promo copy, I bought it directly from a game reviewer at IGN (a close friend)

Well, I dont know about gum, but I can add rest if you want to have a pint

Lol here have some on me

I never liked this press kit, i think its because of the overall poor presentation. Those high price quotes are no doubt way back when the game first came out, prices are always high in the early days. I think 100-120 EUR is closer the mark for a mint one.
