Lmao, I found this on GB forums.
Some fool is actualy selling Halo 2 on ebay.
Someone already bought it too.

See for your self.
And heres NiTrOuSoXiDe's quote about it:
Actually it's not a scam. It's perfectly legit. Here's why:
He said "Included is one pre-release copy of Halo 2 from Bungee Studios"
For all we know, Bungee Studios could be himself and his PC.
"If this one sells well, I will sell additional copies."
Of course he can sell additional copies of Halo 2 from Bungee studios. If it were the real Halo 2, there would be no way on the planet he could get multiple copies.
"You will receive the game from a re-mailer because I don't want this to get back to me, my job is pretTty hot"
If that isn't a red flag, I dunno what is.
"PS Halo2 was ready in January, MS just wanted to save it to max out Halo and spur sales this Christmas, that is why I'm selling..."
MS? Who's MS? Not Microsoft! Man, if this guy actually worked for Microsoft, you honestly think he would be talking like that? Also, notice he never stated that he actually worked for Microsoft. He simply said his job was hot.
So if you think about it, if he made a disc with a game on it, and called it Halo 2, and named him self Bungee Studios, he could sell that disc perfectly lawfully. He just created the image that he had a Halo 2 beta from Bungie, and was selling it. This wasn't the case though.

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! ALMOSY A HUNDRED MILLON $$$?
Reasons He Bought It:
~Drunk
~On Crack
~A Billionair/Trillionair (Or whatever-air)
~Loves to spend money
~Bought it for his bitchy wife/child
~A Real REAL Halo Fan
~Couldn't wait for it to come out
~Maybe a Microsoft Employer who accidentally gave it to the wrong hands and needs to give all his money including everything he owns (even family members) to get it back so the owner and president of Microsoft won't fire him and torture him so that Bungie could still work on it even that the disc he gave was just a prototype.....*GASP*...damn that was long!
I dunno why, but I'd buy it then kill myself!

"Included is one pre-release copy of Halo 2 from Bungee Studios"
That means, yes its a demo/prototype.
I'm thinkin this is one fake scam. Cause... 99 mil? For a prototype game?
No one would buy it.
Everyone thats in the right mind, would just wait 6 months and pay 50 bucks instead of 99 mil.

Yeah but there was a winner who had to pay for 90mil

I greatly doubt someone is actually gonna buy it for 99 mil, someone could not be a big enough tard to actually buy it, but if someone did buy it, then lmao.

Wait i have an idea, maybe the guy bought it off himself......... He wouldnt lose any cash, and he could then just make multiple copies of this "Halo 2" and sell them for lets say $50......... and then he could pose as the person saying that its great and its real and that they should buy it.......
