Two items in the mail today:

MGS4 bag that came with the LE PS3

Signed Metal Gear for MSX
My current display case:

Pretty much at max capacity.
I'm most likely buying another display case soon to help with the overload. I'm just really picky and haven't found anything I like yet. The signed Metal Gear is just awesome. The condition is amazing. Better than some used PS3 games I bet! Castlevania4ever is an awesome seller. It's definately an item I'd put in my top 10 if I ever made a list heh.
I also recommend the bag. It's pretty cool and I got it for $10.

Middle shelf, left of the sealed MGS2 shareholder. You'll see two copies of the same game standing up (the spines), one is a sealed MGS2 Substance, the other is the signed one. Yeah it's not with the others but with my MGS2 games. When I clear things up I'd like to have a "signed item" shelf heh.
I don't have much left for sale heh. 2 people have about 12 items reserved and will likely go this month.

OOOPS, my new item post should've been in the collection display thread, not the latest auction win thread heh.
BUT, I did win something today.
http://cgi.ebay.com/RAH-Metal-Gear-Soli ... dZViewItem
$164.99 + actual shipping!!
Yes, I finally got one. AND I got it for under $200 shipped which is actually what I waited for heh. Yes, I can be quite a cheapskate sometimes. I almost cracked when I could get one for $217 shipped but I just couldn't pull the trigger heh.

Yeah it's awesome. Castlevania4ever also has the NES and famicom versions signed on ebay as well. If anyone is interested, submit a low best offer and see what happens. I offered 50% his asking price for the MSX MG and he took it. I might've been able to get it cheaper!

I just bought METAL GEAR SOLID DGN FOR $29.00. Comes with manual and orginal case. I am happy about the price cuz usually they are running more than that recently.

Good call, I've seen it open go for $60-$70 in June/July but it has indeed cooled off. Prices for everything will generally start to rise again during the holiday buying season.
I remember last year almost all I did was sell during Oct/Nov and I cleaned house. I sold an open FF7 fr $172.50 and a seam seal FF7 for $500 even both of which were about triple what I paid earlier that year.

$439.99 new from a retail website.
This just closed on Yahoo Japan at 65,000Y and another one is at 45,400Y with time to go.
The most coveted item on my want list is now gone. How did I find this? A member here sent me the link. I didn't even know this website existed. I'm not going to mention who it was because I try and keep all my correspondence private (I'm cool if they want to step forward) - but if everything checks out ok with this transaction I'll be sending them a free Metal Gear related gift - I'll even pay the shipping. It'll be about a $50+ value.
So in case anyone else thinks they can take advantage of my generosity, keep your eyes peeled on my
want list. Please refrain from sending auction links though as I've most likely already seen them. Retail sites, private sales, forum marketplace links etc are all welcome though. Even if you see something not on the list you think would make a standout addition to my collection I'd be more than happy to check it out.
The timing of this was impeccable as I was pretty bummed when they finally got listed (3) on Yahoo Japan and it looks like one guy will be buying them all.

Damn sweet violent =D That is the more rare of the two MGSPO-packs right? The one with the snake skin sleeve. When you got it you need to take pics and add it to the wiki.

Yeah there's 2500 of these (18 were actually signed by Kojima) whereas there's no known print run of the other.
Only differences are the massive box, and the case/strap (snakeskin as you said), and a #'d certificate. You can actually still buy the case/strap seperately but I think it's like $200US on the konamistyle europe sites.
