ConsoleCollector88 | 8 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 There are like 20 copies on eBay ranging from $45-$150. Some have watchers while others just aren’t selling. Is there something I’m missing? I am looking to purchase, and other than condition they all appear the same. I just don’t want to spend $150 if I can get same for $50-$70. Any and all input appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 5,212 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Looking at PriceCharting.com history, it looks like the frequent, high-end value is about $40. I did not check condition. Prices are all over the place, but I recommend adding an watched search for this game, and filter out non-auctions. When someone posts one for auction starting at $10 or less, snipe it at the end. You might get it for less than $20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch for auctions, ignore BIN's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so though, doing exactly that (here in Canada) and going down until I saw one in reasonable condition and not missing the manual, here's a decent enough find: Not a perfect copy obvs, but $16 with free shipping is fine.

Gloves | 12,265 Administrator · Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 @ConsoleCollector88 any further info regarding quality etc. you're looking for would help us help you. But in general know that this is not an uncommon title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,903 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Don't forget there were multiple releases of that game. The Subsistence version typically sells for a little more, but if you are just searching on MGS3, you are probably getting all versions in your search results. There were a few other versions as well including a 3 pack of MGS1, 2 and 3, and sometimes those games get separated and sold individually. The original release is extremely common and shouldn't be very expensive. Edited September 23, 2020 by TDIRunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that factors in price I was just curious as I found sealed ranging from $40-$150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a key piece of information that was left out of the initial post. I don't follow those prices, so I can't tell you what the norm is.

Magus | 169 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I assume you mean sealed? Because this is a very cheap and common games CIB. I am in the market for this game as well, and the issue is condition. Most of the games on ebay are not grade worthy, thus they are sitting there at the $40-$60 price range. For an excellent near mint/mint copy that could grade high is likely to be $100+, maybe less if the person doesn't know what they have. This game has hovered around the $40-50 range for a year now, in that time i have yet to find a mint copy i deemed worthy of forking the money over for. Every one on ebay tends to have some form of scratching to varying degrees. Someone has a VGA 90 for sale for $2,000 in the sealed circle, overpriced IMO. Makes me wonder what my 85+ MGS2 is worth. This is my take on it though. Edited September 23, 2020 by Magus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
