As time passes, will people still be as jazzed and ready to drop $2500 for an Extra Exclusive Edition? I'm not so sure. I mean, I'm sure there will still be interest in it; but $2500 worth of interest? Good luck though. Please make sure and let us know just as soon as you decide to sell it.
I'm not selling it for less, there is no way I"m gonna let myself not break even on this. I wasn't going to buy it originally, I asked this forum for advice, and got like 10 posts that said due to how limited it was, and that it appeals to fans of Todd Macfarlane more than just VG fans, it can only go up. So many people told me if you have the money, buy it now, so I did. I guess I should make my own decisions and not listen to this site sometimes XD. I didn't even have the money, I had to beg my parents and assure them it was a good investment. If it's not heads will roll.....I've made plenty of good investments in games (bought ME 1 CE for like $120 back in the day etc.) but my parents don't trust that I"ve made a single good investment. They said if you are so confident in your game hobby investments then we'll help you with this big one and see if it pays off. It better.

Err, just about all those estimates are too high (some way too high). Just saying.

just going off what I see actually sell on ebay. Which ones are way too high? I swear I've seen all of those sell for those prices. I notice that people here though don't buy for those prices and wait for the low buys on ebay, but most of the prices I've seen people tell me some games are worth I never see sell for that cheap. Idk maybe I miss them. But I'm curious which are too high, because I've seen bids from tons of people reach those points on those games multiple times. Tell me where you find them for lower, I need to buy some of them still and I don't want to pay like $400 for Assassins Creed II

Those prices are pretty much standard. Some might be a bit overpriced but I dont see many way too overpriced.

Well, bar perhaps ME2 and the Ninja Gaiden games, I've seen most of those consistently go for a great deal less. Just off the top of my head, the last 2 or 3 Survival Editions I've seen have gone for around $400-$450. You can see the one that just ended posted on the rare finds topic ($355 WITH extras): http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221043270...84.m1423.l2649

Also, every time I've seen a Fortune Hunter's Edition up it's been anywhere from $2500 to $4000. Realize that searching eBay you may FIND a lot of extremely high prices, but that doesn't mean that's what they're worth or what people pay for them. As a general rule of thumb, don't look at current listings to see what things are worth; look at completed listings.

And what Assassin's Creed 2 edition are you talking about? Master Assassin? White Edition? I haven't seen either of those sell for $400.

Sellers who usually dont ship internationally basically limit themselves from better offers. Had the seller agreed to sell internationally, it would have easily fetched him $700+

Wow! Let me know if you find one for around $2500 mate and if the seller ships internationally, I would be really interested!

Doesnt anyone know that dont ship internationally means write to
the seller any & ask him politely if he will?? I was the one who put
the Fallout Survival Edition in found deals,i didnt put it in sooner
for the simple reason that he was willing to send to me in Australia
so i was going to bid. I just didnt want to much competition so i didnt
post it any sooner,lol. Unfortunately for me he changed his mind in
the last half hour so,i put in here for all to see & bid if they choose.
Point is the price it sold for was damn cheap,it was worth lot more,
at least double what it sold for considering it came with a new/sealed
collectors guide as well. The Survival Edition doesnt come up often
& doesnt often come up new/sealed,let alone in excellent condition.
The Pipboy 3000 still sell consistantly for $200+,i saw a damaged one
with crappy packaging sell for $150+

The Scarborough Fair Gun in a fancy box is the valuable bit,in a plain white box not so valuable.
For just the climax edition game,between $40-$50 used,about $80-$100new/sealed.
If the gun was included,it had fancy box i would expect $150+ for a good one,if alls new/sealed,maybe $200+
