Wanted: Survival Box

[smitty]

Want the survival box in good condition if anyone has one up for grabs?

in case you didnt know this already, and are looking to buy one of these box sets - let me remind you that there are two versions of it.

Both versions are practically the same but one is more sought after. Originally the box was set to contain the unkle sneak preview CD and is therefore listed in the contents on the inside flap of the box. It was later decided that the CD would be better used sent out to record stores seperately and so the cds were sent and its entry was crossed of the box with black marker pen. The boxes (minus the cd) were then sealed up with unkle sticky tape and sent to stores.

You can therfore get either:

1) the version that was sealed, missing a cd and has black marker crossing out the cd on the contents list. these are very rarely left sealed, and are either torn or cut open.

2) the 'mint' version, with cd, with no marker pen and with no tape messing up the box. These are a lot nicer to have, but obviously harder to find. but they do exist if you are willing to wait around and keep your eyes open.

Fortunately, a lot of sellers on ebay, and in the general public are unaware of the differences and therefore sell these mint versions for same prices as the non-mint one, so unless you are buying from someone who knows a lot about unkle stuff - you shouldnt pay too much for them.

i would say the survival kits are worth between £35-£60 depending on the version/condition.

and remember, you can always pick up the sneak preview cds for next to nothing if you are missing one.

hope thats of some use.

-- just uploaded a couple fo pics to show the non mint version.
