I do believe we've seen this picture before. On top of that he desn't know exactly what he's selling.

If I had my own Ebay account, I'd raise it to like 10,000 and then not pay.

I usually stray away from new sellers with no feedback selling a huge auction, I don't want to take a chance with all the jerks trying to rip you off these days.

This guy's had good feedback, he's got no negatives.

DO NOT EMAIL ME ASKING ME IF A CERTAIN GAME IS INCLUDED.

That comment makes me wary, however.

What's that big ol' FFVIII box? An LE or soemthing?

Whoever bids and wins it needs to say they don't want it delivered but are going to come and pick it up in person. :evil:

That pic does look familiar. Might've been posted on one of the many TNL "let's see your setup" threads.

That seller has never sold a thing to anyone.

All his feedback is from winning auctions.

And 12 feedback is hardly a lot of assurance that this guy will ship everything.

It's simple. If you win this auction, you pay to put the money in escrow. If he doesn't agree, he's a scammer.

I want the radiator, and the curtain looks nice, too. Actually, I'd say that the guy is selling me his livingroom.

That is indeed a Final Fantasy VIII Limited Edition that was only released in Europe, it includes the game, t-shirt, white memory card and poster in the special box set... and yes I have it ;)

Of course you do... :)

Are there any FFVII LE packages? I would be all over that.

OK, that guy is total full of shit. That picture came from a moderator on gamefaqs (Mr. Bump, I belive). I remember it because it was so damn impressive. I seriously doubt he would post his entire gaming collection, then not list the games that were included in it.

Also, to my knowledge, Mr. Bump lives in England, not Dallas Texas.:wtf:

Sadly no, they really should have done a Final Fantasy VII Millennium Package instead of Ehrgeiz or 2 versions of Xenogears but they never did :(

Here is every release for Final Fantasy VII though:

Final Fantasy VII - Japanese PSX
Final Fanatsy VII - USA PSX
Final Fantasy VII International - Japanese PSX
Final Fantasy VII - PAL PSX
Final Fantasy VII first release - USA PC
Final Fantasy VII second release - USA PC
Final Fantasy VII "Greatest Hits" - USA PSX
Final Fantasy VII Platnium Collection - USA PC
Final Fantasy VII Platnium - PAL PSX
Final Fantasy VII International "PSone Books" - Japanese PSX

I have them all except Final Fantasy VII - PAL PSX, I am trying to get ahold of a new one otherwise there not that hard to find :) In fact other then that I only need Final Fantasy XI beta PC and I own every single Final Fantasy ever released in every version in every region... I'm one crazy Final Fantasy Fan ;) :D

Very impressive.

Ive got the US PSX, PC, and International versions. Once more money presents itself I shall go on a hunt again.

A big fuck you to sellers everywhere that refuse to give you any information about what they're selling. Matt from Wolfgames, I'm looking in your direction...
