Any tips from pro collectors?


I'm not a "pro" collector as I just started myself, but you should check eBay everyday for stuff you'd want.


I was reading up on that figure Demonic Tex linked. It said that it is "loose". Does that mean that it was openned or almost openned? Also what does that mean for collectibility? Is it worth a lot less? Any help?...thanks for the tip btw

And more pro tips are accepted.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Loose means that it is not in the original box.

I am a big halo collector myself.

Sweet.
I want these. lol
I'm still confused on HOW to get it? Like i know Bungie gives you THE GOLDEN TICKET.
But how will they do it? Via email or on here?
I haven't been on here in awhile... sorry.


You would have gotten a golden ticket in your swag bag.

How would I have gotten that then? See that's my main question i guess... :)

From my searches, it seems to be worth signficantly more.(like arorund $50ish)

EDIT: Also Ken, what do you recommend to look out for? And what should I put in the search bar, just like halo figure?

There are a ton of different things you could search;

Halo bag o swag (some people have been selling things they got in the bag so you might get something nice there)
Halo poster
Halo models
Halo toys
Halo frame
Halo art
Halo limited edition
Halo special edition
Halo rare

Stuff like that. Just put Halo then any buzzword and you'll get something. I think I've even seen a Halo lightswitch cover before.

Nice guys thanks for the help.


The trick to finding good halo stuff is by finding a seller that doesn't know what they are selling. These sellers usually mislabel the item so it's hard to find and if you find it then these are the best deals. The way to find them is to use as little words as possible and to refine your search to newly listed every single day, so you can be the first to see a buy it now or place a bid or w/e. It's just better to be the first to know about it and not tell anyone.

It's rather simple, I figured that out in 1 day and I'm 14.

Also that golden chief was taken out of the box and put back in its original box. The description clearly states it was put in a display case. Also the figure says new not MIB/ NIB. Also just by looking at the picture I figured out it wasn't new because the wires were undone.

Again I'm 14 it's not that hard to figure these things out.

You would've had to buy a swag bag and been lucky enough to get a gold ticket. That is that.

Go For It!

I'm just hoping that because it is stated that the Gold Master Chief was taken out, that less people bid. I am at least glad that it comes with the original box. But I would rather have it NIB but I would have to fork over some more money. I only saw one other and it was buy it now for about $70 I think. Currently I'm trying to get smaller stuff as I don't have a lot of room.

Also to Sykodelic Ninja, on the lithograph I paid $40 with $8.45 shipping. I apparently paid more for it than I thought I did. Oh well. I guess part of the shipping cost went to all those Styrofoam peanuts it came packaged in.

Ok good we paid about the same price, mine was $7 shipping plus 39.99.

Also there's another one on ebay for like $45
atm it ends in like 3 days for anyone that wants one.


Also spartain ken, stop posting the video of your collection everyone has seen it now.

I guess, I've passed many of those thinking they aren't rare but I guess their value would go up in a year or 2.

Ok I just know some pepole will sell them for a rediculous price but yeah I was hoping I could find some pepole over Bnet willing to sell them for like around 110-120 dollars.

There was some good advice posted earlier about searching things that have been recently posted every day. Every once in a while you'll find someone who doesn't know what they have and you'll be able to buy it for a very low price.

People on Bnet won't be able to offer to sell you anything because it's against the rules to advertise. In fact I have a few things I'm selling but can't tell anyone what they are out of fear of a ban.

Just follow the advice offered a few posts back and I'm sure you'll be able to find some good deals. You could also try Amazon, although you're probably more likely to find a great deal on ebay, at least that's how its been in my experience.
