Anyway, it's no big deal to me. I could most assuredly be very wrong. I do enjoy these discussions though

I do agree with you that the magic of the bioshock reseller market is bursting

The fitzroys on ebay aren't selling that well

So I guess if that's their motivation then it might be working?

I do think they saw the reseller prices and realized what they could get for them BUT I don't think they give a damn about people reselling them

They just want as much as they can get

Business and all that

Agreed.

Every time they release another "collectible" with his signature it devalues the others. They are over saturating the market and losing credibility. If they are going to charge such a premium they should actually have him sign limited edition items.

YES INDEED.

The sig looks silly on the bottle anyway. It should've been signed on the bottom of the base.

Detracts from the statue more than anything

You're right about that. The sig is an eyesore. Glad I went non signed.

I think I trashed the devils kiss mini litho from the songbird edition. Sure wish I had it now to pair with the bottle. Argh!

just picked up 2 signed editions. The sig is not my fav but the cof with it framed up will sure give it the attention.

See this thread: http://collectorsedition.org/forums/...ad.php?t=11626

That aftermarket value you are talking about is the result of said item selling out. I'm not saying the items won't sell, I am saying the logic you are describing is circular and doesn't really make sense from a business perspective.

High $$$ reselling auctions if anything help irrational as it solidifies their merchandise as value-holding and collectible. People will be sure to buy the next LE right away at retail.

It sure does, it looks like a child went crazy on it with a marker :/

What was so wrong about signing the base just like the MOC? xx

That price is ridiculous. Especially the signed one. Good lord, why does Bioshock merch have to be so freakin overpriced.

Already people trying to sell it on ebay for $899-5999 depending on which edition it is. Stupid.
