Finally got this through ebay, after MANY a failed attempts and much hesitation on my part!This was the 2nd of 3 boxes this guy from Canada was offering... goodness knows what he was doing with so many! This was a New in sealed box case, seriously rare, and getting rarer!
I missed out previously on 2 MIB sets from another seller, ie. opened and used but very good condition. The first was when i offered too low a price.... someone snatched it from right under my nose by buying it out right away. Ditto for the 2nd one.. man, felt darn pissed man. :p
Then came along this guy i bought from, i had it on watch, but when it hit US$300+ 2 hours before the auction ended, i kinda gave up liao.. That was WAY too ex. :p
Who knows he listed ANOTHER set! I thought, nothing to lose, and was expecting it to hit the same pricing again. Surprisingly, after a few days, there was still not much movement on the pricing. So there i was, in the middle of the afternoon, staring at my monitor and doing some eBay sniping.... AND i managed to snag it at $122! :D Happiness.
The set came just this week on Monday... nice surprise after CNY too. :) So a few things i learnt about Ebay :1) Keep looking for the item you want, they always pop up at weird hours.
2) Don't hesitate if you know that you want the item.
3) Set a max limit for yourself on the item pricing.
4) There are people out there more desperate than you for the item, and who will pay crazy amounts for it! :p
