Apparently on Ebay, someone has managed to get bids for a copy of Halo 2 up to over two-hundred dollars.

Here's the link.

I'm surprised 29 people placed bids on that.

I feel sorry for the poor idiot who has to pay up. Existentially challenged people shouldn't be allowed to buy things over internet. No offence trekkies.

Well... if the person doesn't get their copy of Halo 2 as described they could take them to court I believe... but who ever bid probably isn't smart enough to know that...




I still can't believe people bid on it... people who are willing to pay $200 for Halo 2 chances are will be fans. Shouldn't fans know it isn't out?

Funny, this guy is also selling a copy of GTA: San Andreas.

In his description of the game he's saying you can chain combos together... a feature that hasn't been seen since last year...

I checked the guy's history and it appears he signed up around Aug 9th, right when he started this. I'm betting whoever this is will be in for alot of trouble.


Yes... but I still can't believe people bid on it...

Maybe that's why people are bidding, cause they know there's now way he can make his end of the agreement, and he will proparbly win alot more in court then he offers on ebay.

That's an interesting point.

Watch the bids skyrocket in the final moments of the auction. I can't wait to see this.

I'd pay $300 to have a LE copy right now, as in, if someone went into the future, nabbed a copy from a store, and came sold it back to me... muahahahahahahaha It'd be great!
Now watch, I'll bid $300, check it out.

Hahaha, you know, he never actually specifies that its a game...
The description where it says "Features" is probably just what it says on the back of the box, or thats what he'll say anyway.... He might actually get away with it if it doesn't specify GAME....

plus he never actually specifies a shipping date. as long as he ships it on nov. 9 when he gets it, he'll probably be in the clear. i feel bad for the high bidder.

Ya know I just realised a dead giveaway to this guys plan is the fact that the picture he posted doesn't even have the ESRB rating on it.
