Ah, Ebay… ’The World’s Online Marketplace’. A place where you can find the strangest stuff. One of my favorite terms to search for on Ebay is “Rare PS3” to see all of the hard to find items relating to my favorite console. Normally the query turns up a few sealed 60GB PS3’s, but every once and a while you find a real gem like this custom Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3. Today, while doing my usual search for “Rare PS3” two unique items caught my eye.
We’ve already reported on the stunning inFamous Press Kit Booklet. But along with that item, we came across a Resident Evil 5 Press Kit Booklet. The bidding is starting at $9.99 so you can own it for around the same cost as a ink ribbon (Resident Evil reference, and yes we found an ink ribbon on Ebay).
According to the Ebay listing:
The press exclusive booklet features 40 beautiful, highly detailed full-color pages of information about the game. The booklet is filled with artwork, character bios, a Resident Evil timeline, and exclusive interviews with Resident Evil 5 developers.
All I have to say is… Capcom, why didn’t I get one of these? As a huge fan of the series, it looks as though the only way i’ll get to own this rare collectable is by placing a bid.

Don’t want to say how much, otherwise people may bid higher, best for them to think that it is a lot (which it is) so that they dont bid

Haha! I don’t blame ya.
That’s the tell tale sign of a good ebayer.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:20 PM
hehe, but what isn’t the sign of a good ebayer is already regretting the amount I’ve bid…

@Doctorstrange
Lol but…people can just as easily go to Ebay and see what the highest bid is, right?
August 1st, 2009 at 11:32 PM
nope, ebay works differently, say the item is $9.99, i can bid $100 but it will only show that I’ve bid just above the current price, so it would show $10.00

whatever you bid shows up in the price, not “just above”.
ebay shows the highest bid so far, wtf are you talking about?

why dident we get that in the uber edition?
that was 200 bucks and all it came with was a crappy bag a LE steelbook and a crappy miniture Chris figurine.
LEs are getting more and more expensive and more and more crappier.
