I'm not saying I don't believe you (not saying I don't believe the person paid either), but why would you contact an eBay rep at all, and why would an eBay rep tell you anything about a completely different transaction that you had absolutely nothing to do with? I mean, ebay goes so far as to keep buyer IDs private now. Why would ebay tell you anything at all? I guess it just seems weird to me.

True, I imagine he was just saying that the rep said that the payment on his own auction was legit... because that is all they could say (or should say).

Because that same seller contacted me asking if he was legit which got me thinking. I asked the rep about my particular purchase and if I have anything to worry about since he was obviously a very lavish spender and it set off a few alarms. She in fact looked into other purchases the guy has made and said "He just REALLY loves Bioshock". That's really all there is to it. I can't blame the guy for buying up Bioshock Merch.

Oh, ok. I suppose that makes sense. I'm guessing that other seller found that buyer in your feedback profile then? What did you sell him?

oh yeah, I'm not letting this one go without a fight. Like I said earlier, you have to pry this outta my cold dead fingers...and for the dead part I'd need to be suffocating in cash.

But anyways...i was tempted untill i saw no free shipping.
lol. sorry, free shipping is only for the true patriots...foreigner.

but yeeah, the guy's legit. He too is the highest bidder on my other auction. I can assume he looks very much like the monopoly guy with the monocle and starts all his bids at $1 million each. Like seriously, he has yet to be outbid in my auction.

Oh, and him and the seller of the 5k book already left positive feedback for each other...just wow....he should just buy Irrational Games at this point.

Yeah that is fair... so basically you were just listing to keep the significant other quite


He already has a signed one (one that the inside is signed).

Is yours signed inside and out or just out?

how can he just settle with one?? He must have them all to settle his Bioshock Infinite lust!

...and yeah, about the book being signed, quite honestly I'm not sure anymore. The IG marketing rep said it was picked out of the 15 signed editions but I couldn't just go on her word alone (especially for the auction description). And despite what I said earlier about not wanting to open it I actually did try but it seems like they used super glue on the sealing sticker. Definitely didn't want to rip the seal. To make matters worse one of the signatures (Troy Baker's) put a #1 next to his name as if to troll me!

At this point I'm satisfied with the signatures on the case, and if I do sell it and it happens to be one of the 15, It'll be a cool bonus for the buyer.
