I guess it's scalping in another form - frustrating for sure. I do hope it goes for $200 as well! lol

The scalping makes me sick so does 2k for allowing multiple sales, and not one per person.no offense stay free but they lose points for giving away that book as well. Fuckers cancelled my order after giving me order confirmation and taking my money,now I know why so they could give an extra copy of the book away. No lie I have not slept since they screwed me over. I don't think I will ever collect again unless I get my hands on a copy somehow.sorry to bitch about this guys but as a disabled vet this hasnt helped my emotional state. I look to collectibles and games to keep me sane and remind me of being a kid again. i can't even enjoy the game, its great fun but I can't stop thinking about my fucking book being taken away. 2k also told me a few people bought multiple copies, and they will try to stop this practice in the future, yeah right, just like they allowed people to buy unlimited lithographs, the same seller had sold 5 on ebay already, he just keeps putting them up. that shouldn't have been allowed, it makes it so hard for the people who truly love collecting. I'm happy you guys will cherish your books as true collectors.

I have to agree - I think it is really silly for 2K to allow multiple purchases for limited collectibles.

It baffles me that this would occur for something that is out of 15 as well - surely they know that most buying multiples are doing so to make a profit and screw real fans over.

And like you, I really struggled when I thought I had missed out because I have been collecting Bioshock memorabilia since before the release of the first one. I just kept thinking that I'd missed out to people that were just trying to make a quick buck (though I'm sure that's not true - I was just upset). At least only one has gone up on eBay so far. Hopefully the others are all being loved.

Anyway, like I said before - the signed book is probably the centerpiece of my collection now. It will most certainly be cherished, worshiped...

We all miss stuff from time to time, sure it's annoying - but learn to get over it.

I know your circumstances aren't conventional but I suggest you try to work on this issue.

Take it easy. Now you can put the $230 towards their next overpriced collectible.

I contacted the website and they told me that they only ever had 40 or so of the un-signed ones and he had no reason to think they would get more so they are limited but they aren't "officially" limited so they could make more if they wanted.

I had one in my cart earlier (waiting to buy it) but it seems it may have been sold out when it let me buy it... I will probably get the same shaft that others did.

That's such a strange way to do it
