Item: MGS4 Medicom Old Snake Olive Drab RAH
Link: EBAY
Price: $159.99 USD + 10$ Shipping
Condition: Brand New

Comments: This auction has cheap BIN price and cheap shipping... 10$ SHIPPING!!! This probably makes it the cheapest TOTAL $$$ auction for the Olive Drab.
I think he only ships UPS though, so for guys like us in Canada we would've gotten nailed with brokerage fees. Still though for someone in the US that's a steal!

Wow MGS2 has been breaking $100? You should check out how cheap I got mine for heh. It wasn't even buy-it-now it was regular auction.

I know... unfortunately, I was actually quite small when those came out... so I've played it, but of course I didn't have money to collect or anything.

I mean, seriously, the MG Series is older than I am.

Yup, ive played them all at least 1-2 times (all over at my friends), I personally have most of the games now (except for the 2 MGS2) sealed. I am probably going to get another essentials pack and open them up to do the MGS marathon.

BTW: vs, theres 2 types of boxes for the essentials in North America. The Canadian version which has a lid and opens up at the top. The US version which has no lid, and slides out at the side.

depends, if you are bidding against me, then its gonna be very very high. =P

of course, just take the prices lightheartedly, aug-sept is "relatively cheaper" than other months.

Heh, I've seen it close twice with no takers. It's his third posting of it.

First listing 10,000 (no buy out price I believe). The it was 7,000Y (9,500 buy-out) now it's 6,000Y (7,500 buy-out).

I *REALLY* want it, but I have absolutely no skill painting whatsoever. I'd end up wrecking it. Plus who knows how much it'd cost me for all the paints and brushes (probably more than the item).

If it was painted I'd pay quite a bit for it. ALOT more than his asking price.

That's how mine is. Don't overpay for it! I know johnny-raiden's prices are quite high. If it's more than $120 US it's too much. I got mine for $100 recently off ebay, I was the only bidder on it. On Yahoo Japan they're about $100 as well, so $120 or so after fees.

158 isn't horrible, but it is on the high end. But his shipping is high too. I thought he'd list it at $200.

The guy sold alot of items though. It's made me consider doing the same thing. Starting Sep16 ebay fixed price auctions for video games is 15cents, so there's no reason why I couldn't list items at high prices all the time. Not insane like I usually do, but avg closing price +50%. The final value ebay fee is 10% but if it sells high what does it matter.

Think of the Resident Evil collection I could start if I sold everything....oh man...

(note: I won't be selling anything outside my "for sale" threads here so please don't ask heh - all my auctions will be retardedly high price)

I just took a look, its 159$ BIN, 122$ starting... but then the rest of his stuff is humiliating in terms of pricing... 1.4k$ for MGS shareholder premium unsealed (i think)

If you sell your MGS collection for RE collection, I'd personally fly over there and rob you.

It's so tempting heh.

I almost made a thread "Top 10 reasons to give up collecting Metal Gear" and listed 10 awesome RE auctions I found.

And then I started to grab links and realised how awesome some of these items where. It was starting to convince me, so I stopped.

Here's few (alot ended and I don't have the links anymore)

RE watch (one of many that exist) http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=htt ... /e75927206
Replica airsoft gun (again, one of many) http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=htt ... /u19535748
RE iPOD + badge + notebook (I may actually buy this) http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=htt ... /u28047568
RPD jackets http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=htt ... /r48904978
RE attache case http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=htt ... /g64842906
Umbrella gun (I may buy this too) http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=htt ... /110575452
RE PS2 http://cgi.ebay.com/5th-Anniversary-BIO ... dZViewItem
RE gift set http://cgi.ebay.com/resident-evil-Bioha ... dZViewItem

Ok in almost all these cases it's bio-hazard not RE but cut me some slack.

some of those items are crazy expensive... and they are pretty cool indeed.

All i gotta say is, if you start early and sell the RE collection, you will make big bucks. Also, I went and checked out more items... other than guns, its not really that impressive. (well, it is, but then that's like collecting airsoft guns)

There's alot you just won't even find because they're so rare. Even movie items as well is a pretty big deal in RE collecting. Plus all the games, figures...even thing like zippo lighters exist in RE as well. One really cool item I saw was a licensed Umbrella corp umbrella but I think it closed.

BAH, no more RE talk. I'd have to stop either MG collecting, comic collecting or sports memorablia collecting to afford it heh.

I'm so pumped for RE5...maybe even more than I was for MGS4.

The only reason why RE has so much items is... because the gear isn't futuristic and we actually have stuff now that can "compliment' it. I mean... if we actually had guns or something from MGS, they would be way too expensive as replicas.

I'd love a foxhound branded replica gun. Or maybe a Shalashaska inscribed 6-shooter replica.

How about a Tokugawa Heavy Industries branded cyborg ninja sword? I've seen Final Fantasy swords so why not MG? Throwing knife set (vamp)?

There's alot of replica weapons they could produce at a 1:1 scale that would be completely reasonable to offer for sale.

No.1 for me would be a survival knife, real (not replica), in deluxe camo MGS3 designed cased with harness. Man that'd be sweet.

+1 to the survival knife, its actually not that hard to get camo on a blade (there's actually a lot of them around). So If Konami wanted to, they could basically just buy them and rebrand them....

But other swords... like FF swords... they look REALLY REALLY fake... and ugly. lol

I don't know if a licensed FF sword actually even exists or if they're all knockoffs.

But a really well done sword would kick ass.
