I have been watching an e-bay auction for a "new and unopened" copy of Prophecy Collector's Edition, and it sold yesterday for the utterly astonishing amount of £185 - around $360!
This is by far the highest amount that I have seen one sell for, and is an extreme amount to pay simply to get Divine Aura!
I guess my dreams of ever owning a copy of CE have really disappeared this time. I wish I had bought it when I first started playing just after the game first came out.
Prophecy CE sells for £185 on ebay!

That is crazy. Considering only 5 months ago I paid only £30 for a new and unopened copy of Prophecies Collector's Edition

Dribller they are talking about the Collector Edition Phrophecies.
You probably bought the Game of The Year version of phrophecies.
GWP CE aren't in stores anymore, or it would be in some store in a dessert where they never heard of GW.
silara, doubt it, since peopel know that there are people out there that will pay some nice cash for it.

Actually, they had one in my local HMV store in the UK (Norfolk area) a couple of months ago. I thought about paying the £45 just for the divine aura, but decided it wasn't worth it. It was in there for a while to, sat on the shelves for a good month or so, untill someone finally bought it.
Much as some here my find it hard to believe, not everyone in the world creams themselves over some glowing hands >_>

I must get the Divine Aura! It is one of my Life's goals!

the guy paying 185£ for it is probably not even opening it. that c.e. is a collector piece.
that's just saying is insane buying a rare stamp for 500.000£ thinking the buyer would use it to post a letter to a friend

There was one that went for about 800 dollars recently, as I recall. There's a Candadian eBayer who's been raking it in selling UK versions and getting around £140 - £200 as well. Personally I wouldn't pay more than 10 pounds over retail price, but I don't really care about the DA anyway.
Lol.. as for being in a desert and not hearing about Guild Wars... I live in a decent sized town in the UK and none of the shops here even stocked the CE this time around. Probably got stuck with too many Factions CEs last time

I already had the CE from when it first came out, I just wanted to buy the one I found to resell it
Sir Skullcrasher
I hope the stores around here would have the original chapter's CE.

I've been looking around my area, but I haven't been able to find one yet.. although I don't search for one all the time, but if I did find one I'd sell it for some profit.

For a little clarification, I have all 3 chapters, with Nightfall being the only collector's edition.
My only character is a Factions's Monk, so if I want the fancy 'haze', should I get the Prophecies CE, or the Factions CE?

You need to buy the Prophecies CE.
just to inform people, I ordered Prophecies CE at HMV.co.uk a while ago. Sadly no work about it yet. Just an email every few weeks saying that they are trying their very best to get it and that it is on special order from their supplier.

To get the glowing hands you will have to get the Profecies CE, it is called divine aura. As far as going to E-Bay and getting it I would first ask the seller if it is a new un-opened box. That is the only to be sure to get a good Key-Code. If you do a Yahoo or Google search you might find it at several online stores although at rather high prices now as it is becoming very rare. Just be careful on where you get it from, and always ask questions befoire sending hard earned cash for it. Also E-Bay and Pay-Pal have buyer protection plans that could make it easier to purchase knowing that they would refund your money if you take pictures of the package that the profecies box comes in then the profecies box in that package and if it is sealed or not. Allways CYA.

Lol, why do people like the Divine Aura that much anyways? It's not THAT special, now is it?
Manic Smile
HMV does not have the product...your only bet is Ebay, sadly
I paid about as much as the guy there, willing yes...happy about it no

this is kinda off topic but is it possible to add a prophecies ce cd key to an existing account with all 3 campaigns?

yes.........

I paid $150 USD for my Prophecies CE, and that was over a year ago! I pulled the trigger on the purchase given that the cost would only continue going higher. So far, that prediction has been accurate.

I saw this thread, went off and bought a boxed and sealed CE for ch1 for £35 inc postage.
Plenty still out there.
Edit: Amazon.

The only place that I could find online that said they had them in stock was HMV, and I have had an order open with them for two months that I never expect to be fulfilled.

There are 3 available on Amazon. Prices $379-$399. They were $299 two weeks ago.

I wonder if there is a place to buy it at regular CE price?
Malice Black
Nope...just googled it. Searched 15 pages and nothing.

Would still be nice to see a limited re-print run. If I had to pay that much for it, I'd rather pay Anet that kind of money.
DevilStick
It would alienate the folks who bought it long ago when they were told it was "exclusive" though.
I know that doesn't seem fair to folks who got into Guild Wars later, but...

Can A-Net make more Prophecies CE?
DevilStick
Hey, they probably can, unless they've lost any of the master reproduction materials. They probably won't, unless they think the extra revenue in the short term is worth turning off folks who originally ought the CE. (Many, like me, probably bought the CE for the next two chapters and will probably continue to buy CEs.)

You can pretty much buy any collector edition of a game at a wide variety of stores. The point of the "exclusive" nature of a CE (whether for Guild Wars or any other game) is that the extra content is only available with that CE.
Otherwise, many folks would never pay extra for a CE, on the thinking that they can pick up the extra content later.

The Factions CE (at least in my area, I do not know about others) and certainly the Nightfall CE can still be found at a wide variety of stores, yes, but that's not what I am wanting to purchase. I already have those. I'm after the Prophecies CE.
