WTB: certain Gran Turismo titles

First let me start by saying I am a huge Gran Turismo fan and have recently gotten into collecting GT titles and merchandise. My collection right now is rather small, but I have a few pretty rare items that I'm very proud of possessing. But there are still loads of individual games/demo discs etc. that I still am trying to find. Here's a brief list of some of the stuff that I want off the top of my head:

-Gran Turismo 2000
-Gran Turismo Concept 2002 Tokyo-Geneva (PAL or NTSC-J, but only black label versions)
-Gran Turismo Concept 2002 Tokyo-Seoul
-Gran Turismo 100 Million Commemorative Edition (a real long shot)
-Gran Turismo 4 Prologue PAL edition (comes with Making Of DVD)
-Gran Turismo PSP Collector's Edition
-Gran Turismo 5 Collector's Edition (really want this one sealed)
-Gran Turismo 5 Spec II (NTSC-J)
-Gran Turismo 5 2013 Edition
-Gran Turismo HD Install Disc
-Gran Turismo 4 (NTSC-J)
-Gran Turismo 4 Online Test Version
-Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec Replay Theater (any version)
-any of the Gran Turismo 4 special car demos
(also, I prefer each sealed but it isn't a big deal for the most part, as long as they're CIB)

So please, if you have any of the items listed above or have a GT item that you think may interest me, then please reply to this thread of PM me. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing what you guys have!

Gran Turismo 2000, Gran Turismo 2002 Tokyo Seoul and Gran Turismo 4 Online Test Version will be the ones that are bit difficult to find. The first was only available at the PlayStation Festival 2000 event, the second one is a korean release only and the last one has two versions. The japanese version was around 5.000 copies sent to granturismo.com members, while the american version was sent to some playstation underground members.

Don't know much about the PAL releases like 100 million comemorative edition or the 4 prologue one. Also some special car demos are more difficult to find than others. And some of them were released under the Concept name.

The others you can easily find on ebay / yahoo auctions.

PS: lherre is selling a signed version of GT5 signature edition. Maybe you should check it: http://www.assemblergames.com/forum...e-edition-(cover-signed-by-kazunori-yamauchi)

 

Oh trust me I know those will be hard to find, and I've done a lot of searching so far to no avail. Also, how does one use the Yahoo Auctions Japan site when I'm an American who speaks no Japanese?

EDIT: I did see Gran Turismo 2000 on eBay before, but haven't seen it since :\

As for GT4 Online I know only 4,000 copies or so were made, and I know Tokyo-Seoul was a small Korean release. So some of those are a bit optimistic but it can't hurt to try.

 

Use a site like http://www.rinkya.com/

 

I have a sealed Prius Trial, if you're interested.

I've got a couple of gt4 prologue ps2 promo copies if your interested. Pal region ones.

 

I will send you a PM.

 

Bump (not sure if bumping is condoned here, sorry if it isn't). Just a note that while I love all the press kits and such, I can't really justify dropping $200 at once on single items, so I appreciate less expensive stuff.

 

I did get a copy of GT2 on Playstation 1, and it came with this offical sticker sheet. However, the glue had gone and now they are floating around my desk. I could put em all on one sheet and maybe do you a deal, if you wanted them that is.

 

Hi, nice to see you're starting a Gran Turismo collection! I have a few GT items myself. Anyway, have you heard of Rakuten? It's a Japanese website and the good thing is that they ship globally. You can find a few of the items you're looking for here:

You can also find the Online Press Edition here, though it's quite expensive:

That first link is great Matt, thanks. I actually talked to you the other day on Youtube, I showed you the GT5 Hidden car news article.

 

Oh I recognise the username now, small world eh? Also, you might be interested in this sale: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221194999911?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The whole collection is priced up at over £1000, but I actually messaged the seller last week and he is willing to sell any of the items individually. In fact, I have just bought a copy of Gran Turismo 4 BMW Virtual Drive from him.

 

Awesome, I definitely can't do that 1000 price tag, so I'll message him. Thanks! Also how reputable is that global market site?

 

Yeah, in all fairness I'm not sure it's worth that amount. But the seller is a really nice guy and we came to a deal for £30 including postage for the BMW Virtual Drive Disc, so his individual prices are pretty good.

I've used Rakuten a handful of times before and they've always been trustworthy. I think it's pretty well-known in Japan too - one of the major online electronics websites over there.

 

So I ordered a couple of those items several days ago, and it said I would be emailed with shipping info and charges at a later date. Do you have any idea when they will do that? And yeah, that guy has some good stuff, just pretty overpriced. I'll hopefully work something out with him.

 

I have a Australian Release of Prologue if you want it.

 

Well it should be in just a couple/few days since you placed the order. Have you had the email yet? Also, I'd be interested in knowing what you ordered, being a big GT fan like yourself.

 

Sure Matt, I got 2000, GT4 Preview and Replay Theater. I just got an email asking me to send a confirmation email. Do I just literally send an email saying "Yeah, I'd like to confirm" or is there a certain procedure? Thanks.

 

Lol, yep that's pretty much it. I just sent a formal email saying; 'I am sending this email as confirmation of my order', or something along those lines. Nice items you've got there; I have just picked up Gran Turismo Store Demo (PCPX 96096) myself, and I'm quite excited for its' arrival.
