Well I've got all of this BioShock swag and these things are fetching a good amount on eBay right now. I guess I'm just looking for opinions on if I should sell while they're hot, or wait until x-mas season when things could get hotter.

I've got a 360 Faceplate from the launch party that's signed by Ken that I don't want to get rid of...but it might be worth a fortune. I also have a BioShock coaster from the party signed by him as well.

There is always another opportunity to make some more cash, but not to find more of these one of a kind items. I would definitely hold onto them, but that's just me.

I wish I had more opportunities for cash...but it's slim pickins right now.

I think what i'm going to do is sell my OTHER faceplate (unsigned one) along with the signed coaster. See how much that gets...

I just recently got news on how much my books will cost (more than I expected) so I'm putting my stuff on ebay tonight. Wait till next week, because the more stuff on there, the less it will go for :-P

How much for the badass pen? I probably won't buy it, but I'd like to know.

Keep them. Stuff like that is too awesome to get rid of.

Also, I'm kinda disappointed that the pen is the way it is. I would've hoped it'd be shaped like one of the needles the Little Sisters use.

Money comes and money goes.

What you have signed from Ken is a once in a life time item.

Either way, it's yours to do with as you see fit.

Just like the game, it all about choices...

99 cent for the poster.

100 starting bid for a signed faceplate (faceplates go for over 100)

150 starting bid for a goodie bag (other bags have gone out for over 300)

Can this stuff be bought anywhere other than on e-Bay? Like the t-shirts, coasters, faceplates, etc that I've seen? Or is this all promotional stuff that journalists got and stuff that was sold/given at the release party that I should have gone to since I live in Boston?

Actually I purchased two rare EU only official Bioshock faceplates for £15 each. You can't buy them in any store, Ebay is the only way to go.

Yep. But dude don't sell your merchandise. Sell your console, they will always be available but that merchandise wont. Sure they selling now but soon its going to be very rare if you ever feel like getting some stuff back.

I wish the first post would have been more creative like, "There truely is no God..."

I've been looking for a chance to use that latley. Just because I think it sounds funny, with BioShock and all. :D
