What did you get in the mail today?

I think the "collection display" thread should be for displays of people's items only, and the "latest auction win" thread should be for items you just purchased online, regardless of auction or not.

Both those threads have been used by people (me included!) for posting packages they just received in the mail when it should probably have it's own thread.

So, let me kick the new thread off.

Here's todays mail:

Sealed JPN MGS2 Substance

Image
Sealed JPN MGS3

Image
E3 MGS3 Promo CD. This sucker is REALLY big and looks awesome. Can't believe I got it for $25 buy-it-now.

Image
Signed picture from the 2008 Game Convention in Leipzig, Germany (actual autograph, not a print) + Konami upcoming games promo magazine (not for sale)

This is the first time in 28 months (since May 06) I have not been waiting for a Metal Gear related item in the mail!! A pretty long streak has finally come to an end. However, there's alot of items I'm watching that close between now and Sunday night and I plan to be quite aggressive in my bidding so I'm sure a new streak is about to start. I highly doubt I'll reach 28 months again as really there isn't much left I'm looking for.

What can I say, I love talkin' Metal Gear.

It's the only forum other than maybe MGS:TUS (which I've stopped visiting because everyone has a stick up their ass there) where I've made over 100 posts.

Yeah, I'll take a pic when I get back to my room. I thought they were the size of a regular business card, but they are much bigger, I was really pleased with them.

The DVD is nicely sealed and placed in the middle of the magazine. I'm tempted to open the outer seal to the magazine. Just a piece of tape holds the plastic around it. But I plan on leaving the DVD sealed. I have another one coming in, it kinda matches the Promo cards that I have show above.

Why is it so hard to ship to Canada?
I had seen these about a week ago as well, and didn't really know what they were.
I've just sent an email to all of the seller's inquiring that they indeed have the promo DVD bundled with the game.
If you want I can purchase one for you, receive it, and then ship it up to you?
Just let me know.

A lot of sellers are asses about doing it because they have to fill in customs form, where if you send it nationally, you dont have have to do so.

i'll just comment on this whole "sellers being asses" cause they won't ship somewhere.

it's not your place to criticize what a seller does or doesn't do. whether they aren't comfortable dealing with people from out of the country, having to fill out customs forms, don't have time to goto the post office to do this etc. whatever the case is, it's not your business since you aren't in their shoes.

i say this because i've sold plenty of things on the internet, all over the world. i'm currently in a part of my life where i am working 30 miles from my home, i have no time during the day to goto the post office, and i need to get into work prior to the post office opening and after it closes. what does make it possible for me to sell to people is USPS allowing online postage printing and even pick up from where i work, etc.

i've had people act like total idiots writing me messages about not sending out of the country etc, people bidding on my auctions that are out of the country when i provide no statements saying i will ship out, or even stating that i won't. i of course will make exceptions to this, but again it's best for you to understand the situation and put yourself in others shoes before making blanket statements that generalize things.

with that said, i'll happily work with people who work with me on these sorts of issues.

and again, if anyone out of the country needs something from the US but due to seller's shipping restrictions needs assistance, please don't hesitate to PM me.

i agree completely with you bay, and like you, many other people probably have their personal reasons that are similar to yours.

just remember: this is a forum, im sure a lot of things are greatly exaggerated and of course, sometimes i dont mean what i say. (like sellers being asses, i guess internet isnt the best place to express sarcasm).

if i ever do offend anyone, just let me know, i'll take back what i say.

Arrived today.

Kinda felt sorry for the ebay seller. I paid for this for only $1.78 (not adding ebay and paypal fees). And he mailed it to me for $2.77... :cry:
