I'm in a bidding war over MGS Saga Vol 1 DVD. How high should I go?

Haha okay so let's get real, who all is bidding on it (the SEALED GOLD MGS PKG.)? No use in hiding it. I thought about it. I was thinking about a maximum bid of $2000.

$40 - shipping included
that's for sealed
open - $25
hope you got this in time

if you can't get it for those prices just wait, it's not that rare

Ok, yeah I still have an hour left. She's sealed, but we are already at 35 with shipping. I might do 40, but no higher

hehe yes it is I. I don't have a copy of this yet so I'm trying to snag one. Got a feeling in a couple years it'll be hard to find

yeah, dont worry, take it off my hands, I was actually just trying to find another one thats LOW LOW price.
and I actually found a way to recognize our own bidders.
like me and drizzle, I bidded like 10 times in a row (increasing in 1 cents increment).

WOAH
Shit I've give you mine for 2 G's heh - seriously though, don't bid more than $600 for a completely sealed one. They pop up more often than you think. I've seriously seen about 6 or 7 since Spring (I won 1 of them, jt83 another, all closed between 40,000 and 60,000 yen).
Patience is key to collecting. Don't break the bank on something. If you've sifted through my item pages I listed alot of the prices I was able to score things for because I waited. And if no price is listed it means I got it so low I don't wish to mention the price if I ever resold it heh. I got a $250 item for $5 a few months ago in a private sale, and because he undercharged me for shipping he ended up getting a dollar and change for it
In case anyone is wondering, the guy listed the item with a starting bid of $5. It was up for a few days with no bids and I thought "what the hell" and told him I'd buy it at his initial bid price if he closed the auction for me. Minutes later I noticed the auction was ended and he sent me his paypal address.
But anyways, no more than $600! with fees and shipping it'll be over $725 probably which is definately on the high end for that item off YJPN.

Comments: I just purchased one of these a few hours ago on eBay, and what do you know? I see another one, a fresh auction with no bids. So I shoot the owner an email if he will let it go now, he agrees. And for less than what I paid for the first one, so hey, I had a pretty good night. Enjoy!

I spotted that one too, but look at the shrink wrap. I can spot 3 major defect on the front left side (about an inch above the guys thumb), upper left corner, and on the top near the left above the "st" in "playstation".
I just hope you took that into account when you made your offer and hopefully nothing else is wrong!

That's a great price. Sometimes shipping alone is close to $20 on items!

I have another one I acquired a few weeks ago, on this very thread you can check out. It's a few pages back, or I think I made a post about it. Just look around, you'll find it.
