I'm sure most people know by now and have seen this, but I recommend not to buy this unless you ask the seller a few questions.

Item: MGS3 Shareholder Version
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/PS2-METAL-GEAR-SOLI ... 18Q2el1247
Price: $89.99
Comments: My reason being is because the booklet and game cd does not match up to the actual Shareholder Version contents.
Here are the auction's pictures:

Here are the real contents via deadcellhq.net:

Obviously the one on eBay doesn't have the signed Shareholder card because the seller mentions it. But he doesn't mention that the insides aren't genuine to the overall game. Just to back up my case, I have an opened MGS3 Shareholder Version myself and can verify that those aren't the correct contents. Just a heads up to anyone who might be eying that. Thanks.

Hey guys, I've just asked the seller, he said its exactly like the picture.
So if shareholder does have different manual and whatnot, this guys trying to pull something that a normal avg user don't know.

As for the 100$ preorder artbook, If he sells that one, I'll start selling mine... and after I get rid of a few books, I'd be able to buy MORE MGS stuff again.

Metal Gear Collection? You mean the books? or what?
and johnny-raiden's price is WAYY too high, for me personally anyways. He tries to rip you a new hole and MORE with those prices.

oh that one. Unless you want it sealed, I'd say look around on ebay, sometimes they have used for pretty cheap. If its brand new, then johnny's price is still a little higher than avg.

Mine were 99EUR from the same seller, so that's a good price. Fuck!

One thing - the seller didn't ship mine very well. There's no major damage on them (I'd almost have to point out any damage) but the box was torn up badly when I received it. I'm really lucky they arrived ok. So confirm they can do a better packing job on it, maybe even double box it.

30EUR I think. It took forever too but that was through France's post office.

He can ship UPS too but it was retardedly expensive. I don't want to misquote what it was, but it was double to triple the cost.

With original mailing box and gift notification card. On the front it looks like the box is dented, but nothing major. May just be the lighting.

Closes tmr. Now it's already creeping up in price at $80, but these are getting quite rare. These don't even get posted in sealed condition monthly anymore it seems.

So, if you want to score one before one is listed during the holiday buying season, this could be your last shot. I say it's a "hot buy" if under $100.

I recall that I even had troubles finding an unsealed version because most sellers were selling reedited versions.

The UK version of MGS2 with the bonus disc is getting very difficult to find sealed too, gotta find it with a pristine tin mgs2 box and the cards sealed.


Edit: concerning the promos standees, they're really not that hard to find in France, almost every video game store has them , I recently saw a Meryl one in a food market :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I wonder what it's like in others countries of the european union. And here if you get a bit friendly with sellers they give it away for free or almost nothing. Sadly i don't have room for such thing as posters and standees :(

this forum is becoming horrible. I'm gonna be like selling everything to get more MGS stuff!

- MGS premium shareholder: If I don't win mattbellamy's under my hopeful price, I will most likely try and grab this one. But once I do, I'm on a MGS buying break for a while.

- MGS2: I've tried asking to BIN it for 100$, but the seller said no BIN, so we'll see what happens with this one... the last few I saw were actually over 100$ closing.

-mattbellamy: GREAT! then you can help us all grab some promo standees for cheap! ahahah, 100GBP for 2 standees are actually quite expensive (to me)! ahaha.
