He is a little high on this as well.

Also another Simpsons Console - This one is really sketchy though. The description and pictures were ripped exactly from THIS auction... and I mean exactly - the guy couldn't have made it more obvious when you look at both descriptions.
Use an escrow service if you bid on it. :watchout:
wow whats up with people, this economy wont make people wanna spend twice as much or more for a faceplateQuote:

I saw that 159 bought one of his plates. I bought two. I don't think the others got bids.
This guy's stuff is unbelievably good. Watch for more plates from him, or contact him to see if he's still got the others ones for sale.

I sent a PM to 2K Elizabeth, the community liason for the forums at 2K but I haven't heard back. Probably on vacation. Didn't know about that other plate though. I wonder if Kam knows anyone at 2K.

Medal of Honor - Airborne. Very rare.
How rare? Do you know the story behind it?
Like most EA plates, it's probably limited to 100 or so and given out to either tournament winners or VIP's at pre-release events. Kamshaft has one that he got from the event. I think this is only the 2nd or 3rd I've ever seen on eBay.Quote:

Link for Global.. Guy has no feedback that always makes me nervous
He might have created a second account so he couldn't get busted for selling the plate.
That was my first thought. Sweet plate.Quote:

The seller doesn't use paypal and sent the following answer to my inquiry about US shipping:
"Thank you for your interests on this GoW 2 Faceplate with 2 skinz. I am the only one who offers this faceplate wordlwide. I would send this faceplate into the USA. I don´t accept Paypal but you can tranfer the money onto my bank account in Regensburg (I have BIC and IBAN Nr.) thank you for your questions and much greetings from Bavaria !
Regards, fellknaeuelfozzy"
My question is:
1. How does a guy end up being the only distributor of a GOW2 faceplate worldwide?
2. Has anyone is the US used this bank transfer process to pay for auctions. This seems to be very common with German auctions.
3. Any German collectors willing to buy this for me who accept paypal?
Thanks.
My last efforts to secure plates through proxy didn't turn out so well. Elite Customs has a half-dozen of my plates that I can't seem to get here. I don't think he's trying to do anything funny. We just finally get ahold of each other and before I can get an answer how much I owe him for shipping, he's gone again.
My artist friend from Germany could probably help. He has PayPal. You'd have to PayPal him enough to cover and fees and he could do a bank transfer to the guy. If you can settle on a price with the guy and get the auction closed, I can contact Christoph and give you his PayPal info.
its been a while since i looked through here so if these plates are totally lame now, sorry.

I've seen that faceplate at gamestop. I'll look for it next time and I think he meant he's the only ebay seller who offers to ship the faceplate worldwide or something.Quote:

Maybe he's hoping people will put in really large bids to avoid getting sniped??
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that little warning was weird! :rofl:
seems suspicious almost like he would have people he knows sniping for him to make people who lose it but want it with a burning flame (lol) put in crazy bids after its over to the seller...but who knowsQuote:

No worries man - glad to have you around here! :cheers: I was excited to see the faceplate database here referenced in an auction... it's the first time I've actually seen someone do it!Quote:

That's Brent Soboleski, the founder of the site, so the auction is legit. He has 10 available on the auction, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was still sitting on a couple hundred plates or more.Quote:
