However, the rarity of this, being only 1000 pieces made is saying something. Oh if I had the money, I&#8217;d make an offer. Not $1200 mind you. For those wondering, what would a reasonable offer be? Given it&#8217;s rarity, I definitely can see this going for $300-450. The seller however may not want it to go for so low. So if you make an offer, keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>If you bid on this, best of luck attaining it. If you do get it, PLEASE let me know and send pics. I&#8217;d love to showcase this better than just the auction pics on HFFL.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to thank Cody JR Smith for posting the link to this on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a RARE chance to own one of the &#8220;Holy Grails&#8221; of Halo collecting.
