Bioshock Infinite: AUTOGRAPHED MIND IN REVOLT BOOK only 15 available - Page 25

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.

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!

I want to sell my unsigned one now... this is insane for sure. If mine wasn't a gift, I would have listed it already and still might, it is not at all what i expected and is not worth the original price and seeing what it is potentially worth now i might go for it. I have seen another member get $400 for the unsigned one and I thought that was amazingly high.

I guess congrats to the seller, and pity for the people who wanted one back when our orders were canceled (because you will never get on at these prices).

The bar has been set and there is no going back.

I wash my hands of this thread...

There is going back - when the next few follow. It won't sell that high again. I doubt even close. Its just a fluke where 2 people get caught in a bidding war on an item that is hitting ebay for the first time. Happens all the time, albeit not to that extent.

Still though, nice to see video game collectibles selling for so much. Seeing this thread seconds after it was posted, can't say I don't regret not buying one. That price is crazy!

Um do we give out prizes for triple negatives?

I'm pretty sure you mean to say you regret not buying one now, right?

lol I guess I'm mad I didn't either but with the way the bioshock store is run

It is a lottery after all is said and done

Right... i do have a question, at the prices that even the un-signed ones are going of would you sell yours if you had gotten one?

Here i am continuing on this thread

Yeah I would totally just sell it

I honestly can't imagine getting my hands on an unsigned one and being impressed with it in any form given everything I've heard about it

I mean it really doesn't seem like its worth original retail so meh

Yeah I noticed that while I was typing it.

I feel like that's a common triple negative.

Yes of course.

On the topic of selling it, if you're going to sell it, do it now. The game just came out to extremely strong reception. So hype is as high as it will ever be! Also, that 5.5k will surely prompt a bunch of people to sell theirs and it will slowly decrease with each auction. Gotta be quick.

No, i mean overall... you mistook me.

I assume too much... I assume people understand what i am saying but I should know better when text can't portray tone.

I mean the prices will rise more then what they were... yes never that high, but still higher then they were prior. I hope this makes sense.
