    Case of 12 Mint Dawn of the Dead SPI Games 1978

    This is a case of the original Dawn of the Dead games by SPI originally made in 1978. Games are all in original shrink and are in the original shipping box. If you are interested please send me an offer. I'm offering it here first before I go to resellers and/or Ebay.

    Whoah! I can only assume this would be way too rich for my blood right now.

    That is very cool, though!

    I'd prefer to sell them as a set since I think it's cool that a case has survived, but may resort to selling them one at a time if I don't get a reasonable offer for the case.

    That's amazing.

    Where the hell did you come across this? A forgotten crate stuffed away at the back of a stockroom somewhere, a la Street Trash?

    Looking at it from an economic point of view, collectors like to covet precious rarities. This usually means having some trinket enshrined in lucite or whatever But seriously, I think you'll get a lot more money selling individually than together. Selling them individually would get rid of any undertones of the sale being a "job lot" or a "bulk buy" where people will have the expectation of some kind of discount for taking them off your hands in a oner. Also, by showing a box full of eleven units, while it may surprise us, it also carries the psychological message to the buyer that the items aren't really very rare or precious at all; it devalues them individually. After all, it's not like they are a "set" where each item compliments the others.

    I'll have to do a little research and see what the going rate is for the games individually. I got it from someone that had held on to it many years acquired at the time of SPI's demise.

    Very cool, thank you for sharing such an amazing picture. Let us know if you decide to sell them individually, I would be interested for sure.

    Pretty bad ass, depending on the individual sell. I might be interested. Don't blame you for wanting to sell the whole case.

    I already have a sealed copy of the game, but it's still cool to see a box full of them!

    I'd be willing to buy one if the price is right. I understand wanting to sell them as a group but I have no need for 12 identical games. PM if you want to sell me one!

    I'm seriously considering breaking up the case. My feeling is that it's more than likely that whoever I sold it to would do just that anyways. So, looking around the net I could find none for sale and none sold on Ebay in the last 30 days. On boardgamegeek.com I found a standing offer from Toad and Troll for $85 for nice complete copies (not mint) and their site list none for sale, but a price of $150. Again, that's not for a mint in the shrink copy. So the question is, what's a reasonable price for these?

    If nowhere else is selling them, why not just try to sell 'em for silly money? $250 probably sounds like waay too much even for a mint copy, but if you're the only guy selling them, it's not like you have a lot of price competition! If someone wants it and you're the only guy selling...
