    Default Store Displays: Metroid Zero Mission

    How much do they generally go for? I have a Metroid Zero Mission one and a Golden Sun one. Thinking about getting rid of them, but would keep them if I could only get $5 for them.

    here's a picture of the Metroid one as an example:

    I wouldn't expect to get any more than $15-20 before shipping, if that. I've bought a lot of similar displays for around $10 + shipping.

    I have that same Store Display in the link..Minus the Character. in front...Somehow that part got left in my uncles van during a move..
    .I actually made a scan of it and remade it...It came out the same..
    Nonetheless just trying to rid of the thing I put it up for FREE and got no takers...

    On ebay 0.1 ....Nothing,not even a watcher
    It sits in storage..until I chuck it..


    Nonetheless I always thought it was pretty cool and had it on display until I ran out of room for it.

    Cool Looking Display. Smaller makes it more attractive to me. I recently let go of all of my Floor Displays. Managed to get $5 for 2 of them and had to trash the other 3. How tall is that one?
    They call me Ha-do-ken, cause I'm down, right, fierce.

    Does anyone know if it possible to get them from Ebgames? Do you think they will let go of them if there are past date (Un-wanted or released games)? Do they dump them in the Garbage by any chance?

    If I see one in a Gamestop that I want I just ask if it has been claimed. If not sometimes you can barter a bit. You would be surprised what you can walk away with for the price of a preorder.

    Mine actually came out of a Dumpster Dive,EBgames or Software etc... ..It was with a bunch of other store displays,some of which I still have(Pokemon)
    I however did not do the diving,My uncle did the diving and would search the gamestore dumpsters fiinding all kinds of things,Games and PS1 kiosh,TVs etc...boxes and boxes of promo items.
    I think the dumpster diving got tobe too knows as they startted to lock them up or fence them off..Sadly it's just junk,they'd rather it go to the dump..
    Years ago I knew a EB managr and he;d give me all kinds of stuff thet was to be trashed.....

    After my uncle could not get into the dumpsters.
    He/I started to go myself into the stores and ask for displays,stuff piled to the side to be trashed.
    This worked out a few times and my uncle had a lot of luck with it..He bought and preordered games so he'd get a lot of free stuff meant for the trash..
    Myself,the last time I tried the store clerk agreed to give me a pile of stuff,junk that was to be thrown out..,,(I had bought a few games)..
    ..I piled it all up to go and he changed his mind..
    He told me to come back later when the manager came in..or to call...So I called later and the manager said I could take it all as it just saved him a trip to the dumpster way outback..
    I drove all the way back there and he changed his mind..He only let me take one small poster...all the stuff jusrt sitting there in a trash can..I was pissed,he just wasted my time,messed with me..I left,the heck with it..The guy wan an .....He just had a bad attitude..I think they had got tired of people asking for stuff and just took it out on me..
    They lost my business as I was buying lots of games at the time..I went to another EB

    From then on I never tried again at any store but I think if you find a nice manager and staff as I did the other day you can still get things..

    I'd take it off your hands if you still have it.

    I know this is late but if you still had it I'd take it from you. Correction, very, very late.
