Gold Shareholder Package blows past $1000 mark!

131,000Y - according to xe.com that's $1231.75 !!!

I've never seen one close so high. Although I wouldn't consider this the new value, I'd definately say if you see one under $600 it's a for sure buy.

I still value it $600-$800, but now maybe on the high end.

Why did this close so high? It helped it came with the memo card to shareholders and original mailing box. I don't have either, but I'd hardly pay more than $50 extra to get those. The card I could get reprinted by taking a scan to a copy center and the box...well ok that's a bit tougher. It does make it more valuable, but I'd only say by 5-10%.

Did you know early this year someone posted 2 sealed ones (sealed in original mailing box), brand new never taken out at 45,000Y buy-out? Only 1 closed, the other never did. I already had mine I paid 41,600Y for I think so I was not interested. Now I think I could've resold it.

For those curious, bidder 2 was 130,000Y and bidder 3 was 60,500Y.

I actually have a hunch this price was a "one time" hit-up.

Im beginning to think by the beginning of Q1 next year, this will start to drop again (Hopefully)

These are always a hot item, but I think after xmas things will cool off a bit again and you'll see the at 50,000Y on YJPN. Or maybe not.

I still can't wait to see a shareholder MGS2 sealed on the auction sites. I think now it may be safe to say it'll hit $500.

Damn, if I knew it'd close THAT low I would've bought it myself.

I thought you were...and Lady_Serpente...

I mean, that's 6,000Y cheaper than the one I bought and I'm the cheapest fuck on the planet.

I would've bid on it but I don't want to screw you guys over or end up bumping up your bids.

On the other hand aha**** probably bid over 40,000Y but still, he'll be laughing if he resold it on ebay.

I've actually read reviews that the chainsaw controller actually isn't bad to use. It looks so awkward!
