AWESOME, right?
...no, not really. Long story short - I ordered a limited edition issue and a regular edition was gifted to me. First world problem, I know. Here's my cat guarding the limited edition in DHL packaging: EVE Source guarder by a cat
I need advice - how much will I be yelled at for trying to resell the limited edition copy? It's without the autographs, number 877/1400. So far I haven't seen any on ebay nor anywhere else, does that mean reselling one is a sin?
Thanks in advance for all the advice/flaming/trolling, I'm open for convos ingame. |

I have a few questions in relation to buying the cat.
How much for the cat? Does it throw up regularly? Can it actually hunt mice? Is it a good P.A.D.D? (Personal Alien Detection Device) I know my P.A.D.D works good, but I could use a backup device. (If the cat keeps you up all night, no alien abduction. If you had a good nights sleep, the cat was hiding and I got some bad news for you.) What batteries does the P.A.D.D take? New player experience, more highsec PvE missions, casual play, balance, counters to AFK cloaking, expanding the NEX store, and Power Projection.

Have some bad news on you - as a cat owner myself, the look it is giving your limited edition, if you don't move it sharpish, you might need to list it as "only peed on once" |

Also interested in the cat, has it been neutered/spayed? How would it cope with being hunted by a pair of 3y old kids? How would it deal with my existing cat attempting to eat his face?

You bought it, it's yours to do as you wish with, buddy!
Great to hear that people are gifting them to eachother too, very awesome!
I went to the local nerd store here in Reykjavik last week so my girlfriend could pick up Warhammer stuff and it was kind of a surreal experience to see a book that I contributed heavily to on the shelves there being sold.
It was amazing to actually hold a copy of it in my hands when we first got the sample version through to CCP HQ from Dark Horse, and was even more amazing to see the Limited Editions sell out in a matter of a few hours, but actually seeing it on a shelf in a bookstore for sale gives an unbelieveable sense of achievement.
Was really nice! Hope you enjoy reading it!

If the codes are unused, I would buy the limited edition from you. Name your price (within reason... none of this "One... MILLION dollars" nonsense).... That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... |

The best part of selling it to me is that it would still be guarded by a cat.... but my kitty is a full-grown Maine Coon that kills all manner of small, book-damaging critters. That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... |

Thanks for the response, CCP Falcon and all that replied via private messages. I sure do enjoy reading it, although I enjoy the art more. I'm still on the fence about reselling but your input helped me a lot. I don't have a specific price in mind yet, feel free to convo me with offers. Chribba preferred as third party... just kidding!
About the cat: when we bought it we thought it was a bunny (no, it's not dead, just asleep)
PS. probably someone already asked this, but was that intentional to leave the guns out of those images showing each race's ships? This Corax begs for a full rack of launchers (as do other ships in these artworks). What gives? |

We can have quite a few bit more than 1,000 and still have it be 'limited'. What percentage is 1,000 of your current active unique subscribers? Hell, what percentage is it of our record PCU? (65k based on eve-offline.) It's less than 1%. It's less than 0.1% It's a whopping, super-ultra-extra-special-limited 0.015%. Hell, there's even another super limited edition where the art work was signed by the artists. Only the first 500 got those, iirc.
There's a difference between "let's make a limited edition super cool thing for our customers" and "God, I don't know anything, just make a thousand and call it good."
Trolly sarcasm isn't needed. Just admit you grossly underestimated the demand for something like this, explain why, and maybe reassure us that folks that have the misfortune of being being in the wrong time zone when you announce something like this will have something more than a snowflakes chance in hell of getting whatever product it is.
I wanted this. A lot. El cheapo standard edition is cool, but I really wanted to throw more money at you guys for something extra. I appreciate EVE lore. It's the reason I started playing EVE. I also appreciate the effort you guys put into creating, maintaining, and further developing EVE lore.
By the time this was announced when I was sleeping until the time I woke up these were sold out. It shouldn't be "Oh wow! We're so excited these sold out so fast!" The reaction should be "crap, we didn't make enough!"

CCP I think someone's mad he couldn't get a copy... Why don't you just buy the normal version? Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

A proper limited edition, one that you consider to be of worthwhile value, but also gains value at the same time are normaly limited to under 1000 runs or below. So CCP have done the righteous thing here and upped the limited version to 1500 in total.
Take for instance model railways (railroads to our american cousins) most limited editions are for 504 models of each version. And normally they make for a good purchase as they invariably end up double the price after the fact. |
