This is most disappointing. Is the money really more important to you than the honor of winning the contest and the once in a lifetime prize?

Don't act surprised about the flood of harsh words that will surely follow...

omg the money is totally not worth the value, no one would buy this for more than the cost of the ink and book, not even someone who knew its worth would feel right owning something they didn't earn. Your making a mistake!2010-04-08 04:38:00

The book is currently being sold on Amazon new for $34.70. I highly doubt you'll get many takers (if any) at your current starting bid which is over 40% more expensive.

If you are truly getting rid of it simply because you don't have a use for it, or have already read it, you really shouldn't be setting such a high price. However if you simply want to cash in on the collector's value, I'm not exactly sure MM's signature is worth 40% over new, but then I'm not a collector (and I doubt anyone here is).

Apparently the idea of the book being a reward for some beautiful teamwork does not entirely apply here.

This thread makes me incredibly sad

This is sad...
I really am disappointed that someone that put effort with a friend into a great level ends up selling a great trophy.

Look under the item specifics: "This book has signatures from Media Molecule (creators of Little Big Planet). won it in a contest and have no use for it."

I love how he doesn't mention anything about the book.

If you have no need for it, why not donate it to second place, rather than selling it. You didn't pay for it, so why not give it to someone who would actually like to have it.2010-04-08 22:07:00

Well, I see that this is really dissappointing indeed. Why don't you make a new contest? Why don't you donate it? WHY WOULD YOU SELL IT!?

Sigh... nobody really appreciates the simple things anymore. I think it's best we lock this before anymore visitors see this depressing thread.

This is a sad indictment of today's money hungry culture. What a shame.

If I had been lucky enough to win that I would never have sold it. Even if I hadn't found it particularly interesting or useful. I would have been proud to have it, both as a reminder of a great achievement and also a piece of history from what will surely become known in time as one of the greatest video games ever !

Also as a tribute to Mm for giving us this special game in the first place.
