The shrink wrap makes it look far worse than it actually is. They are actually two small knicks.

I'm not quite sure how you can call that "two small knicks." I guess it depends on your definition of the word though.

Well, regardless of what Android 50 thinks it's worth, bottom line is if you put Vol.2 on eBay brand new in perfect condition, you can get over $200 for it.

Hmm, I need every penny... I've sold about 3 this past week, and that one sold in a day or so.
I have one on Ebay, one already sent out, and I'm getting another today and sending it out.
Plus I'm hunting for more today and tomorrow, hopefully I find at least 1-3 more on my hunt.

me running around getting them:

Tip for everyone in Ontario who wants DBox 2 for a reasonable price: get down to Best Buy before Raithos.

I'm sorry, but I think that what you're doing is pretty shitty. It's quite possible that someone who could have actually bought it for 50 bucks might end up getting it from you for 200. If you happened to have one or two laying around that you wanted to sell in the region of the triple-digits, then fair enough, but actually going around stores and hoarding any boxes that you find in order to sell them on here, depriving anyone of potentially getting them for a fair price... I get the allure of the easy money, but seriously? This thread doesn't exactly scream "goodwill".
New to the forum? Just want to know when you'll hit your next posting rank? Ever wondered why some users have special titles, and what they mean? The answers to all these questions and more are waiting for you in the Kanzenshuu Member Hierarchy Guide!!

I've hunted down and sold 4, I then called and drove around in my region and found another 3!

I've been upfront with my methodologies and intent-to-sell from the get go. People are buying it at the prices I state or negotiate within the designated price range. Why would I offer it at srp, when I could make 3 times the return on it? That'd be stupid on my part. Your opinion is all good and well, but don't think trying to flame me with an added attempt at a guilt trip, is going to hinder me in any way. I'll continue to sell them if I can find them and if people buy, they'll continue to buy until demand is satiated. You will have no effect on this. Seriously? Why come here and flame me in the first place? You got rubbed the wrong way becuase I decided to take it upon myself to do something that was beneficial to me? I'm not doing anything wrong, nor am I affecting you in any way, and I really don't need you to butt in as the "moral police" here. Anyone is welcome to go out and buy a box and do the same thing I am as I've already stated. If that's how you see it though, then you should stick to your own standards and go and reiterate your stance to the multitude of other sellers selling this for even higher than myself.

Oh and "lol" to your "everyone in Ontario" bit, yes run to the best buys, run for the hills! It's a panic! The evil Raithos is implementing smart business skills and buying Dragon Box 2's with his own money and selling them for more money. (Which he is ironically perfectly free to do)! Oh the Horror!

So what? F***ing sue me.

Edit: Also you're logic is off. If I had bought 4 extra box 2's last summer when I bought volumes 1-7 all in one go (and also when they were 25$ cheaper than what I'm buying them now btw) then by what you said, you'd be fine with me selling them now. But becuase I'm now buying my box 2's and selling them right when they're a hot item, it's suddenly a horrendous act? How convenient.


Edit 2: to all buyers, also selling the other boxes, PM me!

I notice I'm garnering interest form this. I'm feeling in a nice mood, so I'll be selling the dragon box 4's at retail price plus whatever it is to ship to you. So that's 50$ plus whatever it is to get it to your location. This means you'll be getting the box in the 70-80$ range shipped.

Basically I'll just be running a proxy service for those that can't get the boxes.

Yep I have you noted, check your PM


Edit: That's 3 dox 4's I'm counting off now. I'm going to halt taking orders here until I can verify that I know more are there.

I've been rabidly searching for days, and I had been keeping an eye on this thread ever since they mentioned them going out of print on the podcast... Thank you thank you thank you.
