Look up the prices on eBay. Dragon Box 2 goes for $200 to $300
A bit more accurately, it goes for what people are willing to pay for it which, for some, happens to be in the $300 range. There was a listing on Amazon which had Dragon Box 2 for more than $9000 but I hardly think that is any indication of what anyone could reasonably expect to get for it.

What I always say when people inquire about selling the Dragon Boxes is to not feel entitled to $300+ for any one Dragon Box simply because other auctions have gone that high. Set a reasonable starting price and don't give the potential buyers the feeling that they're being ripped off and you'll have a much better chance at selling them.

Judging from OmegaRockman's email it seems he ordered his copy of vol 2 on April 27th the same day you did.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

That's an odd message, they're basically pointing to "Cancel it yourself or we'll do it".

I ordered it on 26 April 2013 and haven't gotten an update, except for the one that I sent to Amazon.ca myself.

Yeah, really odd. I placed my order later then OmegaRockman and SSJJezter, and I didn't get the message that Amazon is still trying to obtain that Dragon Box - the first and only E-mail about that box was the one informing that my order has been canceled.

Right now I'm waiting for Tyro's offer :)

Ah, oh yeah, didn't bother to read it through since I've already got that email. :wink:

It was sent to me 10 hours ago and I didn't even ask them anything, so it's good to have some kind of update on it.

Can someone tell me why Dragon Box 2 is so highly coveted?

Going off from what I know, it had fewer numbers than the other Dragon Boxes apparently?

It's also the only release which has ever released the Namek portion of the series uncut in it's original aspect ratio.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

I've been away for a while but no news from Amazon and its clearly not going to happen so why haven't the orders been cancelled? Anyone got any updates?

Seeing this thread makes me happy that I bought these as they were released....and made DVD back ups of all of the discs to boot.

Good luck guys!

There's no harm keeping the order active although if they're still unable by the end of the year then I'll cancel it myself.

I'd settle for a Dragon Box 2 in "used - like new" condition.

I think I left my order the way it was. If some magical Dragon Box 2 decides to come to my door step one of these days, then I have no problem about that.

Sorry for always bringing this thread up every once in a while, but I thought I'd just let the rest of you guys know I have sent another email to Amazon.ca basically asking what the heck is going on? I will update you with the response, but I am expecting nothing more than some recycled "We are still trying/would you like to cancel?" rubbish.

After over 5 months waiting, it is clear we are not going to get the products we ordered, but I at least want some feedback and explanation.

Since this was updated, it seemed most appropriate to state that dragon box 7 is no longer in stock at Amazon.
