Really is a shame to see these Shuttles go that way. If the person who won them didn't want the prize then he should've given it back to Macroman considering he worked so hard on it. :(
On the plus side, there's a link in the auction to this thread, so at least the people considering bidding on it will see how much we detest them for it. :)
Very true Blue65, I love macroman's work and it;s a shame to see someone just chucking it on e-bay for a quick profit without a care of how much detail and time has gone into it.
Maybe we should get Richard Branson to buy it for National Heritage or something :D
Yes, it is upsetting to see this, but IMO it's just the reality of commercial modding: Take2 asked us to do the work, the magazines gave them away, and the winners are free to do what they wish with them :(
As much as everyone here hates the seller, he seems to at least have taken the time to produce a damn fine template design with which to sell it :)
Reading the description, at least the guy seems to understand it's value. Not just as a PC, but as a work of art. I like to think whoever buys will treat it with the care it deserves. And just think, if he ever takes it to a public LAN, everyone will say "Oh, are you the a**hole who bought the bit-tech ammo box?"
Now I see this thread has taken lite to the auction, I'd like to point out that its not me selling the damn thing, I didnt win it, Im not selling it, so please, please, Stop with the MSN messages telling me how much of a c**t and a wa****r I am, Because quite frankly it shows your lack of mentality, to read this thread in its entireity(page 2 is a sure fire clue) might shed some light into the mystery that seems to elude your simple little minds,
Those of you who have not abused me on MSN, Ignore... and.. "How you doing!"
Let's have no mud slinging dudes. The guy who won it can do as he pleases with it there were no rules stating otherwise in the compo. It would have been nice if it had been won by someone who really wanted it but business is business.
