I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

I just looked at the rest of the stuff you are selling. I am in awe.

Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate that! Got a few more things I'd like to add to my shop, but I've been so focused on the sword and my next project, lol...

And the auction just went up last night! I read somewhere that having an eBay auction end on a Sunday evening will get you the most bids, so I waited to put it up until it would end then. I still have the reserve price set the same as on my Etsy, though...don't want to give it away for too little, and with the ridiculous fees eBay and Paypal charge, I'd be making even less than if someone were to buy it on Etsy. But here's the link:

I've never been in a bidding war that involved this reserve pricing thing. It's very interesting (and a little fun).

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

WOW THATS AWESOME. Great JOB

how much $$? jk

I've never been in a bidding war that involved this reserve pricing thing. It's very interesting (and a little fun).I hope the other bidders feel the same way...I was afraid that knowing there's a reserve price would scare people off. But I had no idea what to expect from it, I'd rather risk scaring people off than giving it away for $50.

I just noticed something, none of the pictures show you actually gripping the sword's handle. Is it too big for a human hand? Did you get really hardcore detailed and make it for an Elite's hand?

Hmm... from what I seen and read so far (coming from avid fan of Halo)

I would feel comfortable betting around $150... although you can definitely get more from the right buyer.

That's much cooler than I expected. Fantastic work.

Did you get really hardcore detailed and make it for an Elite's hand?I actually meant to take one, but I completely forgot after I took the rest of the pictures, lol. I didn't purposefully make it for an elite's hand, but the pattern I used was that size, so it turned out bigger than expected. It can still fit in a human hand, though, it just looks big. :P

Hmm... from what I seen and read so far (coming from avid fan of Halo)

I know, $310's a bit steep, but I put a hundred bucks into the materials, plus the amount of work, PLUS the fact that I'd lose $30 in eBay fees...I'd only make $150 profit off of it. I'm hoping I get the right buyer, but if I don't I can always offer it to the highest bidder!

plus $39 shipping and handling if you live in the USYeah, international shipping here is ridiculous. I'm hoping to be back home in the US in the next few months, so if I don't sell it here, I can always sell it then with cheaper shipping...although, I'm still hoping to sell it here, we need to money. :P

Thanks for all the compliments guys, your comments really mean a lot! The auction runs out tonight, I'm excited...and nervous, lol.

Well that was a total failure. $91 and free shipping? I thought the free shipping would draw more attention. Ah well, may try again soon. If it doesn't go higher, then I'm totally okay keeping it for myself. :P

Coramo, if you're still interested in it, message me and we'll see if we can work something out!

Odd, I definitely placed multiple bids waaayyyy higher than $91. I guess it only says $91 to not let the other bidders know how high the reserve price really is, but I don't know why you can't see the real amount I had bid on the sword.

Masterpiece. Well done.

Play hard, have fun.

Wow, that's really awesome. The detail is amazing. You're very talented!

edit: Holy Moly, I just checked out your Etsy shop. Stop making so much cool stuff, I don't have enough money! Seriously though, awesome work. I especially love the Minecraft/Portal/Dexter coasters. Now to decide which I want.... first... haha
