I thought you already had an open one?
Well, if not that one looks pretty sharp. Definately my fav MGS2 cover, and MGS2 had the best covers in general IMO.

I probably won't win it though, but I'm sure as hell going to try.

The fees do suck. And then shipping from Japan isn't cheap either. EMS isn't anyways.
For the most part though even after fees it's cheaper than ebay.

Re: Spotted! Kojima items for sale (rare or low buy-it-now)
this is where using SMJs batch shipping can pay off. unless you ask for it explicitly, they will ship your stuff in a batch to the USA, where every item in the batch is then part of the total cost. this usually saves you money overall, but sometimes with larger and or heavier items, they'll hold it in japan and send directly to you in the USA via EMS (which is usually cheaper and more efficient) for you.violentsnake wrote:The fees do suck.

Re: Spotted! Kojima items for sale (rare or low buy-it-now)
Heh, gotta keep a close eye on this thread. You snooze you lose heh.
Now that I think about it, maybe this should eventually turn into a thread where only posts are allowed where items low price buy-it-now/extremely rare items are spotted (no chatting in thread) and people can subscribe to it and receive an email if a new reply has been made. I don't even know if that's possible on this board though...?

That's a quality idea! It is possible to subscribe to the topic, it can be bookmarked too. See top of the page - under the topic title.
It'd be even more awesome to have an RSS feed of threads. How cool would that be!

Rare and nice promotional item: mgs metal notepad (99cents atm)
Also, beware of this auction: Kojima signature?
I remember this guy had this same auction with exactly same words 1year+ ago (and i am sure he sold the signature he had that time...). The signature also doesn't look like a genuine one... ;s

Re: Spotted! Kojima items for sale (rare or low buy-it-now)
Could be a fraud. People that can make trips to Japan (where he "met" Kojima) usually aren't so broke they need to sell the items they got on their trip.
Autographs on paper as well are suspect because you can try forging it yourself like 300 times until you get it right, it'd be hard to do it in one shot on a game.
I guess all you can do is buy from a reputable seller, or have some sort of proof from the event showing they attended.
He also sold this: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 0246303304 but it's dated 2004 (Kojima's 4's look like 9's) but in the auction it says "I just came from Japan and managed to get Autograph of the Great Man and Creator of MGS Classics.". Either it's legit and he listed it wrong or he's got multiple autographs on plain paper. The same plain white paper and 4 years apart. That's really odd.

Just look up johnny-raiden on eBay for rare items. He just uploaded a bunch. I have an original list he sent me of everything he had/has for sell if anyone wants me to post that, I will. Maybe he still has some if you contact him about it.

Re: Spotted! Kojima items for sale (rare or low buy-it-now)
Heh, I got the list too and all the pictures, but his prices are out of my league.
In the value sense that is.
I mean, I'll pay $500 for an item worth $500, but I won't pay $60 for an item worth $30. *AND* his shipping is high. You got a fair price for the MGS3 though. Keeping in mind another might not be listed again this year on ebay.

I've done the same thing, but it's just to promote my website. Quite a few people found me through there that have privately sold me things (most recently the Fossil MGS watch).
My prices are so insane though nobody could take them seriously heh.

Re: Spotted! Kojima items for sale (rare or low buy-it-now)
Agreed about johhny-raiden as well. When i bought 2 small items from him he charged me 13 euros shipping fees when they were actually 1,50 (let's count 1-1,50 more euro for ebay/paypal fees and bubble envelope... but even like this they're still 400% more )
And about that signature(s) seller, he recycled those exactly words already 3 times then, heh! I got some signed items too (one bought from solidsnake1mgs back in the times :p) and if you look carefully to that signature i linked above, you can notice it's not as 'swirly' as Kojima's one usually is - and made in one only clean, firm stroke - but it got some 'interruptions' and it seems like the hand was shaking and the letters look 'broken' in some points... also pen's pressure is not homogeneous - well just look how much awful that A has been made.
Sorry i know my English sux but i hope you guys got the idea... x.x *fixing typos* ><

Re: Spotted! Kojima items for sale (rare or low buy-it-now)
ur english isnt that bad! i mean, i can understand it.
btw lady, u can tell the seller and ask for shipping back. It is part of ebay's policy to enforce correct shipping and handling, if it is about 400% more, u can let the shipper know that they can get banned from it.
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/lis ... pping.html
if it saids 1$ on the package, and he charges 10$, then he's just going to get the ride of his life. if he completely disagrees and everything, report him.
