Buckshot Posted August 16, 2008 Selling my Complete ID ANTHOLOGY collectors for sale -- $225! ID Fans First before Ebay! Hello all... I'm posting this up on a few different DOOM forums to get the hardcore ID/DOOM fans the oppurtunity to pickup something really friggin cool before I sell it out on ebay. What I've got is sort of the holy grail of ID... The EXTREMELY rare boxed ID Anthology. Released in 1996, it includes every game ever made by id and softdisk up to Quake 1 on a 4-CD set. On top of it, it includes all of the following: The Book of id, a book that details the history of id Software. A poster An id Anthology phone card. Two dog tags with the id logo and the id Anthology logo A pewter Cyberdemon miniature. A black t-shirt with the id Anthology logo. The Doom comic. Games Included: cd 1 'Vintage' Dangerous Dave Soldax Shadow Knights The Catacomb Rescue Rover Rescue Rover 2 Hover Tank 3D Catacombs 3D Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons Commander Keen: Keen Dreams Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy Commander Keen: Aliens ate my Babysitter Wolfenstein 3D Wolfenstein: Spear of Destiny cd 2 'Doom' Ultimate Doom Doom 2 Master Levels for Doom 2 Final Doom cd 3 'Quake' Quake cd 4 'Mac' Wolfenstein 3D Ultimate Doom Doom 2 Final Doom Everything is included (not a thing missing), and it is in excellent condition. This Anthology goes on ebay often for over $400, and I've seen some sell for just under a thousand, as it is EXTREMELY rare, and one of the most wanted collectors items of ID fans. you can read and view at these sites: http://www.doomworld.com/pageofdoom/anthology.html http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Id_Anthology http://www.mobygames.com/game/id-anthology And you can view some high quality pics of it here: http://flickr.com/photos/chorazin/2699541981/in/photostream/ do note, those are not my pics, but my Anthology and the above are the exact same, and I'll add some of my own pics here on this post as soon as i get off my lazy bum to take them. This is pretty much a steal, and I'm selling it to get some funds for my new apartment. I just thought I'd ask the hardcore fans first. If no respopnse from the 3 forums I'm posting it at is given, I'll post it on ebay in a couple of days. I'm asking $225 for it (which is the best deal you'll ever find on this nowadays), and shipping is free. I can do Paypal, Cashiers check, or money order, though I prefer paypal. I ship as soon as I receive payment, and I am verified and confirmed on Paypal. If you need photo proof of me holding the box, with your name or something, just ask. You can verify my identity at: myspace.com/beavermatic You can private message me.... HOWEVER, it'd be best to email me at beavermatic@gmail.com first as I check my email every 2.5 seconds. First come, first serve. Thanks! Justin "Beavermatic" Strunk aka "Buckshot" circa late 90's on DOOMWORLD IRC beavermatic@gmail.com 0 Share this post Link to post

Buckshot Posted August 16, 2008 Scuba: Thats not the actual ID Anthology. It's missing everything but the CD-ROM's and booklet, which means its 90% total loss, so it cant even be considered the Anthology. It appears they tried to accomodate by throwing in stuff that isnt part of the authentic anthology, and unfortunately, I cant say that auction is worth more than $75 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted August 16, 2008 Buckshot said:want proof? Ask Fraggle about the limited edition RTCW pc game i got him for secret santa :P Yes indeed, Buckshot is legit :-) I still have the RTCW box, although I seem to have misplaced the install CD :-( Hopefully it will turn up among my mountains of junk eventually ... 0 Share this post Link to post

YMB Posted August 17, 2008 That's pretty much the coolest box set ever. 0 Share this post Link to post
Buckshot Posted August 18, 2008 ...possibly sold at this point, I've sent pics to a potential buyer who is creating a paypal account to purchase it. If it sells or not, I'll keep you all updated on it 0 Share this post Link to post

scwiba Posted August 19, 2008 This is very tempting. If it isn't sold already, I might be interested. 0 Share this post Link to post

And hello to people that remember me, I was on IRC #doomworld around 1999-2001 nicknamed "lau" and did http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=10766 with some doomers maybe still around (hyena ?) 0 Share this post Link to post
mekka Posted May 14, 2009 Sorry to ressurect this old thread but I'd like to know if anyone is in contact with buckshot... I sent him money, still have not received anything and he doesn't reply to my mails anymore... 0 Share this post Link to post
mekka Posted May 14, 2009 OMFG !! Just googled http://forumplanet.gamespy.com/rants_n_raves/b49983/19882179/p1/?0 Someone replied : "BTW ID Anthology has been sold to me wink . (still awaiting package though)" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 Share this post Link to post
khartael Posted May 14, 2009 Ouch. Sorry to hear that, but it sounds like you (and possibly a few more people) got tricked. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted May 14, 2009 It was also posted on Planet ROME.RO. I wonder how many times he sold it. 0 Share this post Link to post
mekka Posted May 14, 2009 He replied to me on Myspace, apparently it was not sold to anyone else, and if it doesn't arrive on 29th this month he'll refund me. I'll trust him as he seemed to be ok with fraggle ! I'll tell you lol 0 Share this post Link to post
Hellbent Posted May 14, 2009 Hey, the recession won't last forever. Got to stay optimistic! Did he send you photos of it? I'd ask to see photos before buying it. 0 Share this post Link to post
gemini09 Posted May 15, 2009 But at the same time it would be unbeliveably low of a forum regular to pull a trick like that so maybe he didn´t see it necessary. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jodwin Posted May 15, 2009 It really sucks if that was just a trick, but at the same time, it should be suspicious to see someone selling something for a quarter of its potential value (assuming you really could get $1000 for the anthology on ebay). :( 0 Share this post Link to post
mekka Posted May 15, 2009 It seems he had 3 ID anthologies, 1 uncomplete was sold for a lower price, 1 to the other guy on the other forum and one to me. I remember something about it when we talk in the beginning, and yes he sent me pictures (with a post it with my name so it's not google pictures !). I think he didn't tried to trick me but was a little lazy about problems with UPS. Anyway I think it'll be ok, let's see ! 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted May 15, 2009 The way the OP reads suggests that there was only one anthology, but that might have been a deliberate ploy to stop people trying to talk the price down if it became known he had more than one. A package would most likely be considered lost after nine months in UPS limbo so the best you can hope for is a refund. Just hope he's not stringing you along to keep you quiet. 0 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted May 15, 2009 Let's hope he would and not have pulled this shit in case he comes back with some halfassed explanation. I have a strong feeling he posted this to gip people of their money.. 0 Share this post Link to post

I would wanna see pictures out of curiosity of what it all looks like and to see the condition as much as a verification of the person's legitimacy.

It does seem somewhat telling that he hasn't posted here again.... 0 Share this post Link to post
LogicDeLuxe Posted May 15, 2009 mekka said:It seems he had 3 ID anthologies, 1 uncomplete was sold for a lower price, 1 to the other guy on the other forum and one to me.It's not exactly what the thread title's suggesting:Selling my Complete ID ANTHOLOGY collectors box setNotice that it is singular and even suggests that he only had one? If there were more than one, why didn't he wrote "one of my box sets" or "several box sets" or "a box set", then? I'm not implying any intentions. I merely noticed this oddity. 0 Share this post Link to post
