How about a tiered price system? Something like:
[$20] <-- Team Rad -- Forum Regulars -- Noobs -- non-PCEFX -- Flippers -- Gougers -- 'Tards -- Roy Vegas --> [$1,000]
STATUS: Try not to barf in your mouth.

I have no problem with the $60 price whatsoever.

My vote is still a yes!

For me the strong £ makes this quite a bargain

That is a good price considering all Ark said. Not far off from actual retail price of the era.

We still have many lurkers and members who don't post outside the sales sections, who are turned off by the prospect of the game not being factory sealed, as it limits the resale potential.

Then I hope this release has no seal whatsoever besides the shipping method.

Arky should sell two different packages. One is the regular, $60 non-sealed one. The second would be a $150 special sealed package which has one of those silver VOID stickers across all 3 sides of the case that open AND plastic shrinkwrap. That way the sealed game nuts can have their special edition sealed game, and it would be a completely different thing, so nobody would get butt-hurt. And he could make some cash on the side. All he'd need to do is keep some plastic, some VOID stickers, and a hair dryer around. And maybe a special $1000 package that has a trigger mechanism such that if you actually open the case, it wipes the AbCard (maybe there was never a game on there to begin with!).

I'm all for elaborate ploys...

I told him, we should make 5 collectors editions cards, and seal  10 of them.... :)
50/50 chance you actually got one :)
Of course, if you open it and look......

I say shrink wrap all of them, and right before shipping use a butter knife to rip just enough of the shrink wrap on each copy to piss off the collectards. Then we can watch them piss and moan on their retarded Youtube channels.

I've said it once already, shrink wrap only one copy, and put it on ebay for outrageous prices (put it in a VGA graded case for a plus). Halts every flipping attempt, because they can't claim there are no sealed copies of the game, so they can't send their copies to be VGA'd, and they won't be able to find sealed copies anywhere :)
