Halo 3 in The Work PLace: Work Hard, Play Hard
Posted By: John Lennon
My mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didnt understand life.

Is Bungie actually a part of this, or is it a scam/hoax?

Bungie will pay all other transactional fees.

It's [probably] a scam, if it wasn't Bungie would've said something.

yea, they probably would've mentioned it on their site, to help it be noticed.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Agreed with the first two responders. Until we see a news post (and we very well might), it's probably best if you do not bid on this... the seller has no feedback rating, which is always a bit sketchy, and there has been no official word.

Looks like a scam, but I love how the starting bid is $117 .. at least the person selling the item is funny.

The Halo Mountain Dew Vending Machine
So, last night we got mail from quinion, who pointed out an auction on eBay for a 'Signed Halo Mountain Dew Vending Machine'. The seller was 'bungie_llc', with 0 feedback, and the picture was pretty generic - and too low-res to actually see any signatures, if there were, indeed, any to be seen. The description claimed that all proceeds were to go directly to the Make a Wish Foundation - but the auction was not being run through MissionFish (eBay's partner in handling charity auctions). All in all, it looked awfully suspicious... even bogus. So I contacted Bungie. It's real. Not only is it real... according to Frankie, it's "the only one on Earth". Now, if you're not in the Seattle area, getting this puppy shipped is going to be EXPENSIVE... but on the other hand, it's the only signed Halo Mountain Dew vending machine on the planet. Bidding starts at $117, and runs for six more days. (I'd consider bidding if I didn't think my wife would kill me.) (Louis Wu 18:04:04 UTC)
So yes it is real, I consider bungie.org a reliable source.

I'd say it's definetely a scam. I zoomed in the picture and I really did not see any signatures, and no feedback gets too sketchy.

Interesting auction... I still find it odd that Bungie didn't announce it. There are, after all, officially a million users here.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Heh. I guess I'm not the only person who wanted it as soon as they saw it years ago. I'm afraid that if I had 15000 though, I'd be paying off the loan for my car.

dude that is the coolest thing i have ever seen

  • 03.21.2008 11:27 AM PDT

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I saw the title of this thread and facepalmed. "Not another fraudulent auction on eBay discovered by the forum members" I said to myself. Sure enough however I could sigh with relief that it's legit-- at least according to JonnyO and Yoozel (I wouldn't trust Foman with a pet rock. j/k Yay Woodshop).

Anyway, makes me happy to see something good.

Oh and if you're wondering why I seemingly care so much about shady auctions on eBay, it's because I work there-- enough said. But I'm currently sitting at home now, so this is personal time and my personal opinion has no baring on my job or eBay aside from showing we're not heartless robots working there. >.>

Carry on.

  • 03.21.2008 11:42 AM PDT

This kinda makes me wish I had 15 grand or so to spend on an impulse. Actually it really makes me wish that. Dang.

Dude, Pimps at Sea is like Halo, going 30 knots in a harbour, being chased by clippers and Man-o-war. And the Man-o-war are firing.

Cool! But I don't really drink pop that much, have no space in the house, and couldn't afford it to boot. Well, I could, but I'd need to use my line of credit.

Did the price drop 14,000$, now it's only 1,060$...

You Bungie guys should put a ribbon-bow thingy on top if it.
