Spotted! Kojima items for sale (rare or low buy-it-now)

Ok, there's a ton of Kojima items out there. Mostly Metal Gear. Some are quite rare and really hard to find, some sometimes have a really low buy-it-now (ebay or yahoo japan). As my interest for buying items has been rapidly fading as I've aquired alot of the items I've been hunting for, I'd like to help others fill their collections.

If you spot something especially rare or cheap for sale, post it here! I see alot of deals pass by that I don't act on because I already have them, so I may as well try to help you guys. I would not post an item you plan on bidding on for yourself obviously as you'd just attract competition for it.

Let me kick things off in style with my next post...

SPOTTED:

Item: MGS2 McFarlane figures, complete set sealed on cards
Condition: Sealed
Where: http://cgi.ebay.com/6-Metal-Gear-Solid- ... dZViewItem
Current price: 0.99 with $100 buy-it-now!
Closing: Aug 16th

These figures are buy-it-now almost less than retail price. I'm surprised the buy-it-now is so cheap as I've seen people blow $30-$50 on just the Snake, Solidus or Raiden! The Rex sells for $60-$80 as well. Each figure has a piece to complete it.

Good idea violent, very helpful indeed.

Do I bite the bullet and set up a Rinkya account now or not!!!

Violent, do you think it's possible for you to set up a new "Middleman Help Thread" (or another more helpful name perhaps?), explaining the ins and outs of Rinkya, and Matt maybe you could throw in some advice on Japanauctioncentre?

In my opinion it would be a great contender for a sticky thread and would be very helpful. That's all you guys would have to do is copy and paste what you've already written elsewhere across the net, save time on rewriting your already good advice. I'd do it for you but I thought it would be a little bit cheeky to cut and paste what you guys have already written.

Sure thing, I'll make a post later tonight when I have more time. Rinkya has been very good to me and I'm more than willing to praise them even though I don't even use a referral link for the $10/head if I send people over heh.

Maybe I'll post my Rinkya knowledge and anyone else that frequents another service can talk about theirs.

But, SPOTTED!:

Item: MGS4 keychain
Condition: new
Current Price: 1EUR
Where: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=015
Ending: Aug 15th

It's at 1 euro, it'll be worth like $50 in a few years and the guy charged me 3EUR to ship one to Canada. Right now it's a STEAL! I'd almost buy another but would rather help someone else get one.

SPOTTED!:

Item: Signed MGS3
Condition: sealed (should've been opened for signatures IMO)
Current Price: 250 OBO
Where: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=006
Ending: Aug 15th

I've seen him post this before with no takers, so each time he lists it costs him a few bucks. Send a low offer and you never know man.


Anyways, hopefully people find this helpful.

I won this mate, did you have it off the same guy? He charged me very little to post it which is good but did it arrive with you? If so how long did it take and did he communicate with you cos he certainly hasn't with me. But I'm guessing it may be a language thing because most of his stuff is posted in German.

Yup, same guy. You got yours a couple euros cheaper!

Still hasn't arrived, but he did say he shipped it. I won it about a week and a half ago.

Ok that's cool mate, he hasn't got back to me yet to say he's shipped it or anything, but it'd be cool if you could update this thread or PM me when you get yours, at least I know he's legit then.

I managed to score the MGS4 pen too, I found the lot you suggested I looked for on eBay France, I asked the guy if I could buy it seperately and he agreed! Awesome stuff, cos i couldn't afford the lot really! Thanks (AGAIN!) for the heads up mate!

Item: MGS Card Collection

TSi, I was gonna get those cards, but to complete the whole set with all variant I think there's like 674 cards so it wasn't even close!

Anyways, SPOTTED!:

Item: Signed MGS4 frm NYC launch
Condition: open/signed
Buy-it-now: 109.99
Where: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... SS:CA:1123
Ending: Will likely end buy-it-now I bet

Mine cost me $150, but he doesn't have the receipt or dog tags. Still it's a good price for a signed game.

If you wanted the dog tags with it, I bought a set for $8 buy-it-now so I don't think they're that expensive to get.

the movie poster is indeed the best, and the most limited. i still laugh at how that plus the standard old snake poster fetched 512$ on ebay usa. i saw the movie poster go for around 75$ (can't recall exact numbers) on ebay uk about a week later.

since i've been looking to get a MGO poster as well, this just kinda fits into my bidding area. i would appreciate knowing who else intends to bid on this item so we can avoid bidding up things since we can share with eachother what are upper bids are.

im sure that the bidders are joking around.

check out the bidders, theres a new guy on it (0 feedbacks)... it jumped from 2000yen to 20k yen... somethings up.

usually the majority of bidding will be done in the last 6 hours of the auction, so i won't even be looking at it for days. :)

2 Q's...How much do you think it'll close at? Is it a lot including everything on the pictures in the auction?
