One thing though. People are buying multiple bags to take what they WANT then to RESELL it at a high price . People wouldn't have a problem if it was just resale, and nothing was taken out of the bag. What ticks people off is that sellers lie about the product being new and unopened, and the buyers have no way prove it was a used product. So basically, if you buy this product from anyone but Bungie, you have around a 95+% chance of being ripped off and lied to.[/quote]

Sound point. I hadnt thought about that. people are buying second hand swag bags.

you're right. you're right.


This will undoubtedly happen. It would be best to avoid such purchases.


your a fool in general if you get ripped off on ebay. be a smart buyer, and heck be a smart seller. lets just say *wink wink* that im selling swag bags. i atleast would state in the description, "opened to show/count the amount of items present. you get item 1,2,3.... then you would state you reason for the price point you set."

the pricepoint in my case would be $50 (the average cost of 1 swag bag) + (any rare items or items worth more than $30, current selling point * 33%[resale value]). so a $50 bag with a rare item, for example (also seen in previous swag bag pics), a limited halo 3 comicon mastercheif active camo action figure (currently priced at $200) would all sell for $126+shipping.


Fail quote

Well what you would do isn't what the current ebay sellers are doing. They aren't taking any other picture than the bag's outside.



Fail reply

I was stating what a smart seller should do in order to achieve safe/successful profit. otherwise some people are just desperate degenerates that are in super need for some t-shirts, and poster/stickers, etc that in the end don't look at the sellers account rating.


Some sellers create a new account to sell these sort of stuff, seen it and I don't trust them. Also sellers are taking the good stuff out of the bags then bidding the bag off saying it's brand new. This makes way more profit because they sell practically an empty bag for around $150 then they can sell all the good stuff by itself and make several hundred more dollars. This works because there's always some fool out there who doesn't think straight and gets themself ripped off. The way you said was how to make an honest profit, and that requires honest people which we have a shortage of.

And the thing is people want the bags new and when the sellers take pictures of the bag you know they could've opened it. Plus people like the whole idea of not knowing what you are going to get, buying your way defeats the purpose.

Also anything Myth or Marathon related (doubt it)


A couple days ago someone posted a picture of their bag. He had a sealed Super Marathon in it. It was one of the few games that came out for the short lived Apple Pippin gaming console. Very rare if you ask me.


I saw, but quite honestly, I want something I can actually play. Like having the actual Marathon discs would make my life. Also Myth discs. If I got a floppy disk with Gnop! on it though (doubtful) I'd have it surgically implanted into my body so nobody could ever have it but me forever.

My BBBB shirt arrived today, a few days earlier than estimated. If that is anything to go by I should have my Swag Bag sometime next week. Although saying that, the shirt was shipped really fast after I ordered it, the bag only shipped yesterday.

What's with the sad faces?! You guys both got an "I made this." shirt which has never been sold and was obviously only ever given to Bungie employees. So long as it's not in a silly size then that's a great item.

Thanks! I obviously didn't take a close look at the t-shirt. I'm a bit happier than :D

Too bad it's 1 size too small for me, but oh well, I'll just squeeze into it!

I just got my Bag O' Swag in the mail a few minutes ago. I have to say, it's very disappointing what I received inside:

XL Bungie shirt
Heretic Elite action figure (with a broken wing)
Pathways Into Darkness sticker
Halo 2 soundtrack

Here's the pic.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Why is EVERYONE disappointed?

Heretic Elite action figures are EXTREMELY RARE.

You got really cool stuff, much better than what I got.

Except the fact that the box is mangled and one of the four wings is broken off sitting at the bottom of the box...

That is probably from shipping.

But a new Heretic elite costs like $50.00+ (not talking about buying one).

You got a good bag and well over $30.00.

Ya but it's broken, nice shirt though. If you don't mind me asking but what wave day did you order it jkonmars12

I ordered it on June 30, at 6:00 pm CST, when the gorilla bags sold out and they released some more (so I guess wave 3).

ALL HAIL GABEN

I woke up to the best site this morning. I'll say it now, i'm 14, that will explain something coming up.

I sleeping on our couch and my mom said "Buddy" (she and my dad always call me that even though it's not my real name). I opened up my eyes a little bit and she was holding my BBBB T-shirt in front of me.

I said "Oh yes" and took the T-shirt and slept with it for a minute. So I made out with a T-shirt, you got a problem?

I am now expecting my Swag Bag to come in the mail on Monday.

Then it's true that bungie is running out of stuff to fill swag bags=/ Darn, mine isn't even shipped yet. O well the bag's still cool by itself.

To who ever asked about anyone getting Minotaur that answer is yes, there was one swag bag with the game in it. Look through the pictures at the OP.

They were 4 good items.

I got a lot of items but they were stickers and a T-shirt.

  • 07.15.2011 1:27 PM PDT

What's to expect when they sell an extra lets say 100 bags.

The figures were never rare. They're now MORE rare than they ever were due to Joy Ride shutting down. I remember all I could -blam!- find back when I went on hunts for H2 figures were Heretic elites EVERYWHERE... I got one for the sword and the carbine. That's it.

IIIIIII

I just received my swag bag and I got:

Halo Graphic Novel (sweet!)
Halo 3 Warthog
Halo 3 Lone Wolves 2 (Three small spartans)
The "i Made That" female shirt
The same folder that Xicer99 got

I'm pretty happy overall. I wasn't expecting something super rare like Ling-Ling's head or anything.

Exactly. I knew this would happen. Honestly I was surprised at how much people were getting in the first place. So far all the bags are worth a lot more than $30.

You got a bag in the first place, be happy about that. People never cease to amaze me.
