Not only did he get a pretty hefty price for it, he also managed to redefine the word "unopened".

Sleepy

You have a look at the bid history? It's someone taking the piss/trying to prevent the sale...

Gordon

No no, it's serious, I heard about this on the news. Apparently the guy was a rich millionaire and was just messing around on ebay so he thought he'd "have a laugh" apparently.

Doom 3 has just been released a week ago so therefore he'll probably make his money back on the investment anyway.

Kudos.

Sleepy

How exactly would he make his investment back?

Gordon

By keeping it for a while and then selling it in an auction like Wortherbies or ebay. Don't you know how it works?

Cabaal

LOL
thats the funniest thing I've seen all day
he can sell it in a few years, hell it can ONLY go up in value don't ya know?
Ofcourse they'll have to be a massive tatoo put on his forehead reading "SUCKER"

MIllionaires don;t get that way by doing stupid sh*t like that...

Sleepy

fools and their money, however, are very easily parted.

Cabaal

Maybe he's just "penny wise and pound foolish"?

OK, so the opening bid was higher than the price sticker on the box ?

Have a look at the bid history.

Someone just wanted to advertise that he had bought the game ?
- though it does look like 'plasmamachine' was going to pay $99 for a game that cost $54.99

I think the whole thing is fake; an engineered publicity stunt by ID software - just like Hugh Grant's film (whatsit?) the hooker and all that.
