In Response To: Re: Art of Halo 3 Signed by entire bungie art team (Ibeechu) : Again, you can stop being defensive. I know that you're sincere. : If you want my pricing advice (and you probably don't), here's what I'd price : them for if I were selling them. Disclaimer: I'm not a professional, but : I've been an avid eBayer for many years and have experience pricing and : selling a wide range of thousands of items. : ONI Patch/UNSC Hat/Tote - I'm combining these because, on their own, : they're not really much. Combined, the patch and the tote represent a part : of a swag bag from SDCC, so there's a little bit of value for a die hard : Halo/con fan. However, that's a limited market. : $20 : Halo 3/ODST/Halo Wars/CEA - All of these are retail, even the Halo Wars : copy which is apparently a first edition. A first pressing of a game : doesn't necessarily make it worth more, especially not a common game. : $85 : Reach LE - Again, retail. You might be surprised, but this is still selling : for $35 new on Amazon. : $35 : Art of Building Worlds LE - This one's still available from Tor for roughly : 100 USD. : $100 : Art of Halo 3, Signed - Finally we get to the meat and potatoes. As said : before, on Amazon these range from $120 to about $800 new on Amazon. The : question is how much more they're worth when signed. The thing about : Nathan Fillion owning it is a neat story, but unless you have some sort of : really solid proof, it's irrelevant. This one's kind of subjective because : it's very hard to price a one-of-a-kind item. However, don't fall into the : thinking that one-of-a-kind automatically makes it worth a lot. But, going : on instinct, I'd probably list this one for about $900 and, if I : advertised it well, expect to get $1500 out of it. : $1500 : Total: $1740 : The good news is that it's a neat collection and if you're willing to lower : your expectations a lot, I'm sure you'll make a decent amount. The bad : news is that, as popular as Halo is, collector stuff for Halo is a very : limited market. Not only that, but collector stuff in general tends to not : be what collectors want. Collectors usually want a piece that was made : widely available but, for some reason or another, is now rare. For : example, a collector would tend to rather have a sealed copy of an : original game than a sealed "Collector's Edition" of the same : game. One of the reasons is that most of the Collector's Editions will : stay sealed because people don't want to devalue it, while a sealed : mainstream (but out-of-press) copy will be much rarer because the people : who bought them presumably wanted to use them. : Hope this helps and I hope it wasn't too much sticker shock. I actually appreciate that advice. :) I wasn't sure how much some of the games retailed outside what was in stores. I really felt offering the full halo experience (sans 2) would be a nice addition. I am surprised to see the art of building words limited edition was still posted? I was under the impression it was from titan books, and last I checked it was off their site. I took that into consideration on such a high starting price (if art of halo new is valued at such a high price unsigned, that the building worlds halo book being only imited to 1000 copies, would value much higher than the art of halo 3 book for its rarity.) are there other places that sell it?
