Look,reality is alot of members are resellers,its as simple as that for one reason or another. However i think the unwritten rule of a member help another member policy should apply. If something cost $100,i would be happy to pay another member $20 or $30 extra,maybe a little more if i either couldnt get something because of faulty store sites like Irrational or for some other reason. However i wont accept paying double or triple the price,thats just plain price gouging & a ripoff in my mind. Thats not what this site is about surely,isnt this place where collectors unite to expand their knowledge & to help other members if they are able to or can without causing harm or large exspense to themselves.
It was a "gaming journalism company" that got all of those, so no I can't get any from them



Also I said the same as you, if you look back i gave reasons to why this practice can be fine if done right. I was saying $150 $160 I could understand but x4... nope.

I understand people want to cash in on the Money craze over Bioshock, but members doing it at other members expense sucks.

With the crazy prices things are going for like I said I could understand offering it to a member for even a $60 profit... but they want to sell one book to pay for three.

Viva La Revalution!

I'm so jealous of you guys. I really should check on the store more often when new things come. =D

The books happened quick, I screwed up by not ordering an unsigned book because I was pissed about getting my order for the signed book getting canceled. I also imagined they would print a few more runs since they didn't advertise it as a limited product. I should have bought one. I'm not a fan of price gouging either. As a collector I would only sell to others collectors at a fair price. I always question people s intentions when it comes to buying toys and other collectibles. In person its easier to see if someone truly is passionate about owning a certain piece Unfortunately it's true fans or lovers of the art that get screwed. Anything limited should have limits on purchases. I mentioned before 2k told me they will look into putting limits on rare items, but I think they just wanted to shut me up. Good luck to the rest of you on future finds

OMFG!! I think I just got a MIR book for free!

I don't want to get too far ahead of myself or rub it in but I am excited if this is the case.

I have been getting lucky for the most part lately.

I missed the book only to get it for free which was bad luck then good again.

But I missed a signed exclusive insert earlier today, it went for $26!!!!!!! It was my own stupidity more then anything, I forgot how long it had left on it and missed it.

It was listed very poorly and someone got it at a steal.

Still great to get free though

I only accept free things when they're signed but developers.....

I'm too good for all that unsigned hogwash



jk of course I would love one of those MIR books as they look good

Still not sure if I think it's even worth the original price tag of $100 though

I thought it was close when I found out there were only 40 in the store or so BUT now that i know bunches of these were sent to game journalism companies they probably made a bunch and then listed the left overs on the site.
