Much Respect. Seller took a gamble and it paid off big time like going to a vegas casino. For people who aren't Will Smith's kid earning 5 million bucks at age 10, this is raiding the flipper's Lost Arc.

Sorry to say proving "buyer" paid is easy to fake. Whats to stop him paying himself??? Still shows payment was made & he never looses money.If not,as already has been stated the guy is off his rocker,this is just utter stupidity at its finest for all concerned

If this is real then I lost hope for humanity.

Some guys have more money than brain.

My two cents is the seller sounded legit, I talked with him when the auction first started and made him an offer. He said he had been getting a lot of hate emails for selling the piece so quickly. He said he was a big fan who happened to get lucky, he said he checks the irrational store multiple times a day and although he didn't want to to sell he said he has a family and needs as much money as he can get for it so he declined my offer. I thought I was crazy to offer 450 for it, the most I've ever attempted to spend on an item. I laugh at this whole scenario and am sick to my stomach as well, it's almost the death of collecting to me. Believe me there are crazy people out there I grew up with the kid who's father created American gladiators and he would go to any length or price to get what he wanted. I saw him in 1991 pay over 20,000 dollars for the first appearance of the xmen and even more for spiderman number 1. So five thousand dollars is nothing to some collectors, if they are told no or believe this is their only shot a special rare price they will pay up

You may not want to believe it, but I just sold my 9 inch x 6 inch Bioshock Infinite Midnight launch poster for about USD230 on eBay.. And NOT even signed. And yea, I have received the payment in case you are wondering. The bidder just got 2 feedback... and he bought a USD650 Bioshock signed Litho before my small piece of poster.

Mine is the LA midnight launch. My first midnight launch poster was sold for USD50 because of not so perfect condition, and this second one was sold at USD230.

When you met the right and RICH collectors, they will bid whatever they can to get it..

To me, I never expected to reach until USD230... Honestly.

Man, we should be jumping for joy that this sold that high. This makes our pursuit worth it. Some we keep and display and some we sell for crazy insane prices to crazy insane people. gawd bless that buyer. hope he's looking at my auctions, that's for sure.

Oh you...
My hope in humanity already lost when I read this article.

$5555 for book is justified compared to how this kid use money.

Sigh.. truly when there are kids starved to death in other parts of the world..

You guys certainly have it backwards. You complain about people who resell, then you complain about the people who spend a lot of money to get something they may have not been aware of when it was sold, and then you say they should give that money to the poor instead? If we're going by that logic you should NEVER buy anything ever and instead donate your collectible money.

Can't we just leave it at people will do whatever they must to support themselves and move on? If you buy an item for the enjoyment/collecting that's awesome. If you buy it to resell it and make $5,400 profit so you can pay your bills, fantastic!
