So, as my first blog I wanted to show you guys how much of a begger i am, and what better way to show that actually beg for something!?
So here it goes, people who's going to Blizzcon gets a goodiebag, which contains some random items and in-game prizes. Now one of those in-game prizes is an ingame mount I've heard. So, I know that not everyone on this teamliquid forum plays world of warcraft, so instead of throwing away the ingame key why not just send me a PM with the code and 1) you make me happy
2) you doesn't feel bad for throwing something someone wants away.
3) well, I can't come up with any more reasons, but you might come up with one yourself.

Buy one on ebay like everyone else. Selling the goody bag on ebay is a great way to offset the cost of the trip.
|
What Kwark said. Why do you think some people even bother going? It's like going on a free trip for some.

With as wide spread as these things are going to be given out, with the people that order the direct tv and stuff too, I really doubt these things well sell for much at all. Not THAT many people are interested in them. Just offer someone like 5-10$ and you sho uld get one.

you realize that people have paid like over $700 just for a ticket to Blizzcon
and do you know how many WoW players there are that want this stuff?

People who want special mounts in wow are usually not that into PvP or PvE to care about something like this. The people actually willing to pay to have it probably aren't hardcore into WoW, and don't really do much end game stuff or arena PvP. Since atleast 1/4th of the people that play WoW are hardcore into it, and it would be useless for the other 2/4th because they aren't 70 yet, then I'm assuming that 1/4th that actually would pay for it. No one pays 700$ to get the goodie bag, its for the experiance, seeing the new stuff, playing sc2 and WotLK, etc.
Ontop of that, the people at TL that go to this thing probably wont care, or don't know what its worth, or don't care about making a few bucks, so they wouldn't care to sell it to him for a low price through poker stars or something just to get something out of it. I'm not saying he can go on E-bay and pay 5$ and get one, I meant from someone here.

Perhaps someone that is oblivious to the actual selling price.

You're basically wrong on everything man.
It's nowhere near 1/4th
collectors care
hardcore players buy tons of gold why wouldnt they buy this
There are people who paid that much for the goodie bag.
people at tl do care
they know what its worth
they care about making over a hundred guaranteed bucks
they wouldnt give it for a low price to someone who basically never posts here but suddenly wants a favor

Wow, that's actually a cool mount lol.

*shrug* I played WoW before, and I guess there are people who would buy it, have no idea how much though. I was always happy with my usual PVP mount (Black war Wolf, yay).
And even if I did get one of those for free (and was still playing) I'd probably not use it, since it's really just a huge sign saying "spam me with /whispers about it!". Ugh.
Anyway, to the OP, good luck getting one, though I doubt it's worth the effort, heh.

How about this one..
My mom plays WoW. Her father died Sunday.
I don't really have much money to buy one because I dumped most of it on a CJ Shirt. Can someone hook me up with one to give her?.
This is 100% serious.

wow, alot of replies for sure O.o I do understand that I could probably buy this stuff of ebay, but ey what's wrong with asking? What I think is that lots of people get the goodie bag, takes what they want and then just put the rest in the corner, and I guess alot of the people will give it away to friends or sell them.
I made this blog just so if soul out there that doesn't feel like holding a auction or using the code could just simply give it to someone who do care about. Also, I may very well be intrested in buying it for a pretty small price.
Sorry if I upset someone with this blog, but it was just a cheap shot on getting something for free.

1. not possible
2. no one is throwing anything away, even if they dont want it or sell it, the word is give it away.
3. no, please try other forums.

I'm sure I could, give me a day or two to think about it and I'll get back to you on that one.

I think the problem here is that not many people here know you. You're asking for this on a site full of people who worship a Blizzard game, if someone was so inclined to give their goody bag away, they'd probably be more likely to give it to someone who's more well known here or a friend they know on bnet, not as Frits said, someone who barely posts here and suddenly wants a favor.

no the problem is that he was uncharacteristically ignorant on the subject of obtaining something of this nature. but people have pointed out how absurd and stupid his request was, and i guess from the above post he has realized it was just a "cheap shot" to try and get it for free.
i suggest using Eti's route, chances are that will be cheaper.
