Looking at selling Monkey Island Collectors (All 4 games)

edited July 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
Its pretty much a giant box with all four games in it

I need the cash to get the new ones :(

So any collector, or someone wanting to get into the greatest game series on earth, hit me up an offer

    Your best chance for sales is to bung it up on eBay with some pictures.

    I kind of want to buy it simply because it's a collector's edition.

    What condition is it in? What's it come with in terms of extras?

    I got one and it was collectors edition. It had a big picture on the front with a collage of all the game boxes, and had screenshots of monkey island 3 and 4 on the back.

    It was only $30 when I got it, and that was in Australia where games are expensive and normally $100.

    Perfect condition

    The only thing that came in the box was
    a CD with MI 1 and 2 on it
    Both CD's for Curse
    Both CD's and manual for Escape

    Hm. Well, tell you what - put it up on Ebay and I'll probably bid, but I don't think I'd give you a fair price for it straight up and I'm not about to rip off a fellow Monkey Islander. I was hoping for more extra features and bits in a collectors edition. My apologies for wasting your time.
  • ShiversulShiversul

    I have no idea what a fair price for this would be, its hard to find just about anywhere

    I bought it for 70 brand new

    Well, it's I've already got the 4 games. I kind of was hoping it'd have like lots of concept art, commentaries, posters. That kind of thing. Didn't mean to jerk you around, although the OCD in me would probably still like the set I don't think I'd be willing to give you anything near what you paid for it.

    Haha, thats fine :P

    I still have no idea why they made the box SO massive....

    Sale the games individually on ebay, no one has the monkey to buy all those at once , lol. One at a time is a sure bet. I mean , look at that link the first game is going for 40 bucks. I wish I had the original box to mi -one and two ...I might have the box to game three somewhere if there was one.

    You're waaaay more likely to get sales through eBay due to the protection it offers to buyers, and of course people are going to look there rather than here if they are interested in buying it.

    I'm suspicious as to why you don't want to put this on ebay... if you put it on ebay and post the link here you will get much more intrest.

    These are rare, and I used to own my own copy... but I sold it on ebay. If you don't want to go with eBay I'll buy it, just send me a PM with what you're asking and we'll go from there.

    also, 1.1 features young Dominic Armato doing voice of Guybrush before he even knew he would come to do the voice of Guybrush in the Curse of Monkey Island. Actually, no one knew there would be Monkey 3 at the time. Only George, yes. Thats what he will tell us any moment now.

    while were on the subject of different mi versions lol...

    what was the best music you could get out of the pc floppy versions of somi? i heard it was still no where near the amiga right up until the enhanced pccd audio version. and did the 5.25 inch disk version have the same music and was there a vga 5.25inch version? lol random questions but i've never known the answer having only played the amiga and cd version lol.
