Wow, what a douche nozzle
I’ve got myself a copy of theZeldaseries bibleHyrule Historia, and it’s as amazing as everyone says. However, for highly appealing ancillary game merch such as art books, I like to splurge a little extra on fancy collector’s editions just for the heck of it. I wanted to snag the Limited Edition ofHyrule Historia, which was restricted to a mere4000 copies, but the damn thing sold out withinminutesof appearing on various pre-order pages. Publisher Dark Horse screwed up the allotted shipments so badly that many orders were quietly canceled without any notice to the buyers. It seemed like the only guaranteed way to score an LE was to make the trek to theNintendo World Storein New York City on the book’s release date.
A few days ago, this magnificent bastard with the username Tommy98118 posts onCraigslistthat he’s in possession of the hotly sought-after tome and is willing to part with it for a hefty fee. But it’s not just one book that’s for sale, nor two, nor three, nor even ten. This asshole is sitting onover 40 copies— literally 1% of the entire run of LEs — and is scalping them like the little rat he is.
Thereddit peanut gallerydid not find this shady scheme amusing at all. I mean, when all these other honest consumers were getting dicked over by Dark Horse’s ineptitude, how did this fucker make out like a bandit? Tommy must have caught wind of all the calls for his head, because he swiftly changed the header image of his listing to show only a single copy of the book. Thankfully, the sleuths onNeoGAFscreen-capped his shame before he could sweep it under the rug.
I swear to Christ, some people are the worst.
