If mine wasn't a gift I would sell it... that is my stance on the book.

If I bought it I would have been upset when i received it considering its size... when I saw it on the website i assumed a regular sized notebook, not a pocket sized notebook.

lol you remember that listing I linked you

A gaming journalist valued that book at 30 bucks and sold it at that

Rare sure worth original cost, no worth what it sells for now hell no

Honestly maybe I won't collect Bioshock if this is where it's collectibles are heading

I do hope the seller of that book knows the buyer will never pay that for it... there is no way.

But even so it will help set a precedent for price... stupid.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Autographed-...61196765908%26


If i had to bet, i would say it is someones shell account trying to make the price high overall for his own auction.

I had this happen with my Ezio Statue... the buyer never paid and all his feedback is "buyer did not pay"... yet he had perfect feedback so these people aren't punished.

yeah , high bidder has a "2" feedback, time to not pay and cancel the account. Had that happen to me when I sold stuff, 1 or 2 or 3 feedback and they almost never pay. if he pays the seller hit a collectors grand slam

I would bet my book he wont pay, I bet it is a shill account (not the sellers BTW, I think it must be another seller).

My two cents is the seller sounded legit, I talked with him when the auction first started and made him an offer. He said he had been getting a lot of hate emails for selling the piece so quickly. He said he was a big fan who happened to get lucky, he said he checks the irrational store multiple times a day and although he didn't want to to sell he said he has a family and needs as much money as he can get for it so he declined my offer. I thought I was crazy to offer 450 for it, the most I've ever attempted to spend on an item. I laugh at this whole scenario and am sick to my stomach as well, it's almost the death of collecting to me. Believe me there are crazy people out there I grew up with the kid who's father created American gladiators and he would go to any length or price to get what he wanted. I saw him in 1991 pay over 20,000 dollars for the first appearance of the xmen and even more for spiderman number 1. So five thousand dollars is nothing to some collectors, if they are told no or believe this is their only shot a special rare price they will pay up
