I wonder if it's getting payed for. Hope the highest bidder has a big bank account.
Well, It's alot of money but I don't think I would sell my copy for 3k right now. I'm not in the need of money, and they are getting more rare every day, especially the sealed version.
Wonder how many copies are still sealed.

A few months ago my girlfriend and a few buddies said I was stupid to pay $600 for a sealed copy. I just found this this morning and forwarded them the link. Who's the stupid one now???

But I'm definitely not selling mine anytime soon either. The funny thing is I had never heard of this edition until I found this site. Saw a thread with two members discussing it and that's when I started looking for one.

Did you get your copy from Ebay?

[Nlkuysdf]

No, I got it through a seller off Amazon.

Sorry to tell you guys this is artifically being inflated with fake bids.

You can tell with all the 0 and low feedback bidders.

The seller will simply use a second chance offer for the offical one who bid was completely maxed out.

Complete waste of time, it's a common thing with these sort of items.

The max real bid is $900 and that his max bid that would have likely won.

The real value is $500-750 max depending on the condition.

But why would someone do that? Very few people will pay an amount like this for a videogame. He has to pay for Ebay fees also, bet those will be high also with a max bid of 3k.

They will do either of two things: -

1) retrack the fake bids just prior to the auction ending and thus only pay fees for the highest offical bid.

2) Second chance offers price will be what fees he will pay and not the max fake bid. Also the maximum fee eBay will charge I think for a game is £45 ($80) which equate to about a final max bid of £500. it gone way pass that and they are quids in.

That makes sense. I hadn't looked at the bidders but they all are new eBay members. What a scam. That's what pisses me off about eBay sellers. Wonder how many times they've gotten me for my max bid or close to. I've never bought anything that has been offered to me as second chance just cause I dont trust it.

I've had plenty of these scan type from ebay, I report them to eBay and they don't give crap. As long as they get money.

It's a complete waste of time asking ebay to sort them out, The worst thing is that other sellers see that the item going for $3000 and do the same thing inflating the price.
