Holy crap only $11.51

Seller probably should've had "Kubrick" in the title.

You should just ask the seller if they have more and you'll pay the price I won it for. Also say you'll buy outside of ebay so they save fees (not a big risk on a low price item) and I'm sure they'd go for it if they have more.

yeah, i asked him already b4... hes like "i have one left" and i won the one for 16$.
then i see another one posted by him (which is just won by u)... hopefully he shipped mine, cause im still waiting (its been about 1-2 week) using first class (with a box)

Yeah, I talked to the guy about that kubrick. I feel he's sketchy. I asked for actual pics, and he said the one he has is what it looks like (so he didn't send an actual pic). And if you read his feedback........

For $11 I'll take the risk. I figure worse case is the packaging is damaged and I'm likely to open this one anyways. I'm like 4/4 (or higher) in paypal claims so no worries. For buyers Paypal rules.

+1 to that

id take a risk for that, and im 4/4 too in paypal claims.
if what the buyer said was true, i will have no guilt in filing a claim. but if what the seller said was true, i will have a good item and leave positive feedbacks

It's hard to lose a paypal claim (if you're a buyer). That's why my shipping fees are so much for my auctions as everything gets insured with delivery signature confirmation. Gotta cover my ass.

They appear now and then. I think that's the second that sold this month. All you gotta do is buy a used one then put 2 sealed games inside it and claim it's sealed, but even still it's only a 100-120EUR item. The other box was never wrapped.

I recommend the same thing for those that want the mgs2 sealed in the metal tin case. Just buy a used one in the case and swap with a sealed game. Cheaper+easier and nobody would ever know.

I hoped for someone to put up cards on ebay (not sealed at insane prices ;)) and someone did, so i had to buy em ^^ Did i get ripped off at the price? I think it was pretty cheap, i'm looking forward for the clear ones

Yeah, I got a piece of that last auction (the clear ones). I'm still a little confused though on what it is exactly we are all getting, do we each get a set of the 6-7 cards, or out of the 6-7, is he going to give us only the number we bid on?

Re: You're latest auction win!

Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 12:28 pm

Yeah i thought of that too. Bit the auction says "7 pieces of this SET"

how is it possible for 3 guys to get in 3 sets if mantis grabbed 2?

or is there 7 sets total and now there remains 3 sets LEFT. ahaha... im confused. but nevertheless, id want to see him rehost the rest of them, id grab them to do a frame thingy.

i contacted the guy and he said each set comes with the main characters ( 9 cards in total) and he had 7 sets. so that means that he has: "Dear freechris01,

Hello.
This action is a complete collection!
The character is:
Solid Snake
Meryl Silverburgh
Ninja
Liquid Snake
Vulcan Raven
Psycho Mantis
Sniper Wolf
Decoy Octopus
Revolver Ocelot"
