Don't Get Ripped Off + Stupid Auction Page!
Hey guys
I know we're all collectors here, and of course, we'd like to buy at the cheapest for our collection. This page is just dedicated to those items that are simply overpriced so that people would know what to stay clear of.
For some collectors, they may think that even at a very high price, it is probably reasonable, so if you are the one selling the item, please private msg the person to "take it off" the thread.
I'll just start this off:
Medicom Kubrick Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Tiger Stripe - $179 USD?
The whole package (MGS3 Extreme) only sells at about 100$ now (and people are hesitant to bid on it).

This doesn't fit under "don't get ripped off" but I didn't want to start a "stupid auctions" thread.

An xbox 360 MGS4 skin? First - skins are retarded. Second, you're covering your system with a skin of a game that'll never be on it. Third - the xbox 360 is also retarded.
And yes, I've owned a 360 since launch day and have owned alot of games on it. I haven't played it in months though. I fear it'll break down yet again.

Re: Don't get ripped off page!

You are still alowed to like the game?violentsnake wrote:This doesn't fit under "don't get ripped off" but I didn't want to start a "stupid auctions" thread.

Re: Don't Get Ripped Off + Stupid Auction Page!
of course you're allowed to liek the game... but i mean, if you are going to like it... put the skin on a ps3 or something. I mean, unless you want a whole MGS theme and you have all the consoles, but then that'll just make u look like a big blind fanboy.

They could have picked a better picture than that. Haha, a shot up Raiden with a pink background. It just gives me the best dreams when I sleep on it at night.

Re: Don't Get Ripped Off + Stupid Auction Page!
i could think of nothing worse then a heavy night out on the jd and waking up in the morning with my head next to solid snake. i would think that 1. either i was tripping out badly or 2.solid snake used some of his sneaking skills to stick something in me (and i dont mean his knife).

Basically he's selling the FMV videos of the games burned on DVDs, 99 euros for the videos from each game or 300 euros for videos from MGS 1+2+3+TTS all together O.O

Re: Don't Get Ripped Off + Stupid Auction Page!
Heh indeed.. but fact is, 80-85% of italian Ebay users can't/do not trust/don't know how to buy from foreign countries or they do not have a Paypal account, and about MGS there isn't really a lot of stuff on local Ebay for this reason, few people buying from other countries so the market is quite much 'enclosed' to itself and there isn't even a clear idea of which prices are supposed to be right, or cheap or overpriced... also no competition + really few MGS collectible sellers + more interest in MGS saga lately = high prices ;/jonthomas83 wrote: That is dire isn't it, makes you feel sick that people got ripped off like that.

ZZZ double post, sh*t i'm sleeping already.
Well anyway, i agree on the fact those prices are quite much insane... he's also selling the two paperbacks of MGS comic for 150 euros, when book shops sell them for 13 euros each.
