Hi Michael, I see. I remember I got BJ/DK3/DKH for $3X - $4X way back then and it's now ALMOST impossible to get ANY for under $150.00 other than these more common ones I have 22 now due to ebay auctions/trades and will show them soon as soon as my camera's working again Kevin

Now we're seeing people diversifying their type of collecting, I wonder if we'll see anyone specialise in shippers ;D They take up even less space than the games, eh? Andy

I got my BlackJack shipper for $20 USD from Taki's ebay auction last year. I also recently acquired a DKH and DKIII shipper for $25 USD each. So, while they may not be the most desired shippers, $70 USD for all three, is pretty freakin' cheap! ;D Aris out

It makes sense because they are rarer. Of course they hold no games but hey, people pay for rarity I guess.
Yes, shippers are great but they consume too much space and they're difficult to display (not to mention that there's no wow factor when showing them to your friends!).

Michael I hope it will not end just like the PS....3 people crazy about one thing and as soon they have what they wanted, prices drop dramatically....

I meant only the common BJ/DK3/DKH shipping boxes are probably the only ones that can be obtained for under $150.00 from what I've seen lately...I've put 7 on top of my IKEA glass cabinet, 3 on top of some stuff, and others in boxes I don't think there'll be too much multiple rare shipping boxes around as they're mostly thrown away by shops after they sell the games...

Andy, what good are they if I keep them folded flat ? I want to be able to view them (and anyone that comes into my room as well!) :smile:

How much is a blackjack shipper filled with blackjacks, never opened worth then?

The blackjack shipping box is probably the cheapest one you can find! I don't think the price would be higher than the total for all boxes if sold separately..

I never considered buying ANY full shipping boxes as even the common BJ/DK3/DKH were sold for $400.00/+ way back then while the resale aren't too good to makeup the initial cost! I'll only buy a FULL box if the price is reasonable and I'm REALLY desperate to own the box Kevin P.S. I do have 3 Octopus with very close serial # that came from the same box though! (although I don't have an Octopus shipping box )
