Bioshock Infinite: AUTOGRAPHED MIND IN REVOLT BOOK only 15 available

I didn't mean it that way, that you buy 2 of everything just to resell.

I knew he was a forum member and I knew about your auction, that's why I found your post funny, that's all.

Personally I'm against these stupid resellers, if the item is limited to 15 or 40 don't be a an asshole and buy 2 just to resell, give a chance to other guys.

[flatout]

Okay... I hope not. I have bought and sold stuff for profit (like just about ever other member here has) but I would never list it 4 times what I paid.

And with this book I was trying to buy 2 at first to get one for me and another member.

Guys, not sure what the whole moaning is about...I missed out on the signed edition and yes I am the one selling MY SECOND copy of the unsigned edition...first I hate like everyone else being ripped of on unthinkable ebay prices but I also had my share of having to pay the extra coins for something sold out. Saying this, and mentioning this in the past if I get the occasion to purchase two editions and can re sell one to repay the other, than be it...all I can see is that a lot of talking but in the end anyone does it to keep costs to a certain extend...

[flatout]

Your selling one un-signed one to pay for a signed one and the un-signed one together and making a small profit on top of that.

I originally had the same idea as you to buy one and sell on to help pay for the one I bought to keep. Key word there is to "help" pay, as in buy 2 and sell one for $60 more then I paid or so.

Not $265 more then what I paid.

But really do what you want, it is fine.

I buy things to sell too, I think the most I have ever done was almost double what I paid for it. But this depends on the item, if it was a $10 item and I got $20 for it this is different then a $200 item selling for $400 IMO.

But I won't give anymore gruff then this because i got it too for buying 2 360 Songbird Editions to part out (and I out out an offer to the forum to get one for anyone who wanted one) and I also waited until 2 days before the game launched as to not take anyone's 360 spot. I also only made around $60 in total of each one and got people the single items they wanted without needing to buy a whole edition (especially the statue, one went to Israel where the SE wasn't available at all).


Honestly if I knew it was a member I would not have posted it in here... I would have only posted it in the "overpriced" section to keep people away from it.

Flat, I wrote that I missed out on a signed edition so I bought 2 unsigned editions for 200$ profit in my book is 65$ but hey that would be if someone actually pays it...if you noticed I set best offer...another thing, how many times I came across rare stuff and sold them for a misery to see it then listed in ebay for yupiiee 4x what I sold it for???...I see your point and I take it as it is...hope you get my point though

This whole episode with the books is a horrible thing. I spoke with 2k and they told me multiple people bought more than 1 signed book. Shit some of us even got confirmation numbers on legit orders, only to have those orders canceled so they could pass out signed copies on launch night. This was the worst episode in my collecting career, then to see prices like this jacked up is even worse. I never imagined the unsigned books would go so quick. Sad part is 2k doesn't care about their customers, I figured they should do some thing special for me and mortal Monday since they canceled our orders for the signed copies, they could have given one to each person who ordered instead of multiples to a few. Sad sad days, im sorry to all the true fans

When the item is so low in number, resellers are like cheaters in online games they don't give a fuck about the others, they just want to win and get away with it.

Well to be fair this can be a good thing....not in this case of coarse.

But if a member buys a few and they get sold out quick and that member then sells them to other members who missed out on it for a small profit that is a good thing. For two reasons, they would have missed them completely and they save them from buying them scalped at ridiculous prices. There just need to be limits to these things.



But we are getting somewhat off topic.

[Madigan]

Of course I don't have problems with that, if you do it to help a member and you sell it at cost or to make a little profit sure why not? But when you buy something as limited as this with that ebay scalper mentality, I think that's pretty low. If this were limited to 300-1000 then do whatever you want, my problem is with extremely low numbers.

Bottom line is 2K really should have only allowed singles to be sold to one person.

Asiak - making a tidy profit on the lithographs too I see.
