Pretty cool. National Console Support is sitting on a bunch of old Japanese Game Mags, some are even in new shape. They will offer a different one daily, from what I understand. I hope they find some old PC Engine Fan mags, that would be cool. Just to look at the old ads.
Today is something different, they found new copies of the
Final Fantsay 7 Versus guide and are selling them for $75.
Wow a whole company sat on some magazines with no creases or folds on the magazine?!Quote:

That was quick, but no srat guide is worth that much IMO.
A unique idea to get rid of old shit that (mostly) nobody wants.
To keep a box of FF VII guides, retail $9.99, and then to wait about 7 years and sell them back at $75 a pop...I guess nobody thought of that ! (that's why it worked so well)
750% profit margin (assuming they bought the guides at 9.99) over 7 years. This is a rough estimate since they included Shipping in the $75, but they probably got the guides for less than 9.99. I realize the two don't cancel out, but thats's pretty impressive nonetheless.
i have a ff7 versus guide somewhere. the poster is no longer in it but what would somebody......say on this board pay for it?
I have one too. I had no idea they were worth anything... people are strange. It's in crummy condition though, since, you know, it's just a strategy guide and I saw no reason to take care of it. The poster is on my wall.
I eBayed my old, beat up, missing poster and pages ripped out copy of the Versus FF7 guide a year ago or so for $50. $75 isn't that bad for a new minty one. Of course, I think that's WAY too much for a guide but eh, who am I to judged what people like to waste their money on? Heaven knows I waste a lot of my money.
It's an awesome guide...
Just not that awesome.
I need to sell my good copy to some unsuspecting person. :D
Did you see the Import DC mag they had? I think it's sold out now.Quote:
