Ever wanted to spend $150 on an EGM magazine?

The auction ended last month but thought I would go ahead and share it with everyone:

And just for comparision here's what one goes for in when it's still in the sealed bag:

it bec0mes clear that the first seller is a thief

[tholly]

yea, the first one he just tried to talk his item up and hoped someone would be dumb enough to believe him that it was rare

[Oobgarm]

What's with the expensive one not having any cover text on the left side? Is that printed on the actual plastic bag in the cheap auction?

EDIT:

Nevermind, I see that the text is in fact printed on the bag. :smash:

I was lucky enough to receive that very same limited issue from my EGM subscription and it's the only EGM that I've bothered to keep in mint condition.

Glad to see it's selling at the very high price of a buck twenty-five! LOL

A person can ask whatever they want for an item. I'd call him overly optimistic but not a thief.

I also have that issue still in its original polybag, too. And for a second there I was gonna put it up on ebay, too x_x I think they mentioned what the ratio of LE covers to regular covers was, but I can't find my subscription regular edition to find out (and even though it probably doesn't matter, I don't wanna open my LE and see if they say what the comparison is.)

It was between 12% and 15% of the total production run that month.

Before I view this I shall guess that it is the Final Fantasy X cover.

Well what do ya know! Can't believe people actually pay that much for that magazine cover. Although the guy in the second auction got a great deal!

[LAGO]

Well the guy did offer free shipping world wide ... that'll save you $3 - $5 right there ... bet the guy that won it for a buck and a quarter didn't think of that ... haha

[Lone_Monster]

Please. 150 bucks? I wouldn't take that crap if they gave it to me for free.

[LiquidX01]

Yup, I also have that issue. Though mine is no longer in the polybag, Hey I wanted to read it. LOL

[Brisco]

I have that one too. It's still in the plastic cover. It had sold for half of what that auction wanted it would have been on eBay tonight.
