Made by bioware who are owed by EA games

And the game has also went free to play as it was a bit of a flop as a MMO

Chanced my arm with that for the price. Is it a misprice or something? Seems extremely cheap considering its almost 90pounds on Amazon.

johnf26

naa not a miss price they tend to sell there collectors editions really cheap when they want to get rid of them, i picked up warcraft Cataclysm for 9.99 just before panda came out

johnf26

Let us know if you get them will you?
Ordered a collector's edition of a game from them before for a low price and they sent me out just the game. Hassle returning it, they just said it was a pricing error by them. Won't use them again.

wouldnt really call it spoiling in fairness your going to keep a bargin quiet first till you a least sort yourself out(if you were interested in it yourself)then tell people about it,hardly going to tell to world about something you want before actually getting it yourself that would be pretty silly do you not think?

In fairness, John has a point and we all would do the same.
But I reckon he is not the only one who bought more than one. This thread only has 22 replies but 1200+ views since late last night.

Yeah for some reason these ar ereally common in Ireland! I saw 2 in CeX in Dublin alone!

kendragon

That arrived today. Statue is well worth the price alone. I'll probably never play the game but i'm not bothered. Thanks a mill OP.

Dcully

Pity there is nothing to do once you hit max level,otherwise a half decent bargain.

Clareman

I picked up 1 of these, I will admit to being very excited when I saw the size of the box, was even more excited when I thought it came with a USB key, was annoyed when the leg and arm of the model was broken bit of super glue and it's in my office now next to my light sabre

Thanks op

johnf26

Well done John nice profit you're looking for there...
http://www.adverts.ie/other-consoles-games/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-collectors/2912440 :rolleyes:

Are there any bonuses in this set that are worth picking it up for if you own the original ? (Can't access the website here at work)

Damnable, was looking for one for ages and they show up in Galway when I'm back home. Imagine they'll be sold out by the time I get back tomorrow.

I could understand charging €20 for one but not €80, more than 7 times the cost is out of order.

Want to swap user names seems mine may be more suited to you.

Haha you caught John out there didnt you :pac:

But I think people need to be honest on this thread. Anyone who saw this deal naturally googled it and saw the current going rate was €100. There was money to be made and everyone had the same idea on here. Sure you might keep one for yourself but there was €€€ signs all over these collectors editions.

Johnf26 can't be only one who bought more than one. But Johnf26 was the one who posted this thread. Naturally he was going to place his order before sharing (we all would) But he did share with others.
In the last 6 days, besides John's advert, there has been two ads going on adverts.ie - one asking a fair €40 and another guy giving a cock and bull story about how he wants to part with his edition for €100. Such is life.

On a personal level I think asking 80 - 100 is 'risky' for these. Not only did gamestop.ie have these but so did game.co.uk for the same price. The game is going free to play so I reckon Bioware might be flooding the market with collectors editions.

I rang the shop in Ennis and asked them to keep it for me, they did with no problem, why not try that in Galway as well?

You know John, i've been on your side of making profit this whole time. But what you just said contradicts post #15 on here: :pac:

Fair enough if you bought one originally on release, but now you're saying you didnt get 5 lol.
in any case i'd sell on ebay. You are just going to get such low-ballers on your adverts.ie ad now. Such as it already stands "€10 offered. Seller pays postage" - get the hell outta that!!!!

johnf26

lol i no mate...oh im not saying i didnt get 5..i did still all in the brown boxes but havent been up in kildare to give them to family,if i was going to sell them i would have put them all up for sale ha but only put up the original with receipt to recoup which was bought one month before game closed its doors in the ilac in dublin,and ye i no what you mean about me ad but feck them..i do think it is partly been jealous they missed an offer that wont be back again.
