CuteLucca Auctions CT Collection

[ZeaLitY]

CuteLucca will be auctioning her entire Chrono Trigger collection starting Sunday on Ebay. She'll be selling it as one big package with 'Buy It Now' only, so if you want a smorgasbord of Chrono Trigger you might start calling in favors and pooling your money with friends. Here's what's in:

Original boxed ROM cartridge
The Shounen Jump boxed game
Sheet music
The 3 Japanese players guides
Keychain set (CT and CC)
Holographic trading card set
Packaged cards
7 soundtrack CDS
Famicom version of the game
Japanese Playstation version of the game
Chrono Cross Square Millennium Collection
Chrono Cross clock with box
Chrono Cross 'Missing Piece' guide
16 Doujinshi
Set of my original fan art for the game
1995-96 Nintendo Power magazines dealing with CT
plus more I've likely forgotten...

She speaks, "I'm going to be asking $1500 for the whole set. This is an unbelievable collection and I still to this day think it's the most complete CT collection out there. I would like to see it move to a good home in a complete set since I worked so hard gathering it all together. Sadly times are tough for me financially and luxuries are the first to go, plus I've stepped out of the fandom for some time now and it would be a shame not to see this all go to someone more active in the community."

The Chrono Compendium would like to ask the winner if they can scan the doujinshi for the site, as well as the 1995 store display poster if it appears in the collection. I think we've pretty much got the rest scanned, although the Millennium Collection might have something in it we don't have an image of, maybe. (Wow, I'm getting rusty.) Here you go:

Wonder how much it will be.

That video by faf is really freaken random. the music is so nice by the picture is BUTT UGLY. Faf, you weirdo.

[maggiekarp]

I can understand why she wants to keep it all together, but AAAARGRGH I WISH I WAS RICH

[Acacia Sgt]

That's quite the collection.

I think I only have like half the total money. Even so, I'm not planning in getting it, but I can still see why one would want it badly.

[V_Translanka]

That's neat and sad. CuteLucca has as far as I remember always been a staple member of the Chrono community...No matter where the Chrono hub has been over the years (well, before the Compendium it was more or less floundering around), most people were bound to know of her...I hope the financial troubles aren't too bad and that some day she comes back to us. That sounds weird...>_>

[Truthordeal]

$1500? Not bad, considering how much other, less valuable, crap gets sold for on Ebay.

[Mr Bekkler]

I think it's kind of dumb to keep it all together. If she really needs the money, she'll sell it separately. I don't know anybody that would spend that much on Chrono stuff all at once.

However, I do find it amusing that if you had 100 of them, it would be a familiar price...

Oro? Is there an inside joke here that I'm not getting?

I hear ya man...I mean $1500? I'm sure there are Chrono fans that would spend that much, but are there fans that would and could spend that much?

[CuteLucca]

I'm trying to sell it at once so it stays together.  This was three years worth of collecting for me plus way more $$$ than this total auction is going for (I paid $300 each for the ROM and the SJ cartridge plus about $25 per doujin, about $250 on card lots, shipping, countless other ebay auctions and expenses, etc. etc. etc.) and it could potentially save someone a lot of work gathering stuff up.  I understand $1500 is hard to come by this day and age but that is the honest value of the collection.

If you see something you want but don't want to buy everything in one go, keep your eyes on this thread-- after a week if nobody buys it I'll start splitting it up into lots:

1. ROM cartridge
2. SJ cartridge
3. All CT Keychains
4. All Doujinshi
5. 3 J Players guides
6. Chrono Cross lot (Millennium collection, guide, keychains, clock)
7. All Collector cards
8. All soundtrack CDs
9. Catch-all lot for leftover items

Thanks for your interest.  I'll still always love CT of course, dont get me wrong, but my life and my career have moved in a different direction in the last few years.  Financial troubles arent going to kill me, Im not starving-- but I'm trying to gather as much $$ as I can for a big move I'm planning to a different part of the country. 

[Temporal Knight]

That's a rather nice Chrono Collection there for sale...I wouldn't mind getting my mitts on it if I had the money.

Gah...sometimes I hate being poor-ish.

[Lord J Esq]

Ah! The community will be losing one of its best artists, but it's great to see CuteLucca taking her life to the next chapter. Bon voyage!

[Ema]

Wow CL, must be hard to let it all go...@_@

[SuperSlash]

That's an awesome collection. There are actually CT and CC trading cards? And they're holographic? That's pretty nice. Even though I wouldn't be able to use them for anything, the keychains might also be interesting to see.

Good luck, CuteLucca. I can understand why you'd want to keep this collection together...some of these items sound spectacular--I didn't know there was a Chrono cross clock AND a box. Shit, whoever gets this collection is quite lucky...hell dropping the dough shows their luck anyway.
