The Halo Mountain Dew Vending Machine
So, last night we got mail from quinion, who pointed out an auction on eBay for a 'Signed Halo Mountain Dew Vending Machine'. The seller was 'bungie_llc', with 0 feedback, and the picture was pretty generic - and too low-res to actually see any signatures, if there were, indeed, any to be seen. The description claimed that all proceeds were to go directly to the Make a Wish Foundation - but the auction was not being run through MissionFish (eBay's partner in handling charity auctions). All in all, it looked awfully suspicious... even bogus. So I contacted Bungie. It's real. Not only is it real... according to Frankie, it's "the only one on Earth". Now, if you're not in the Seattle area, getting this puppy shipped is going to be EXPENSIVE... but on the other hand, it's the only signed Halo Mountain Dew vending machine on the planet. Bidding starts at $117, and runs for six more days. (I'd consider bidding if I didn't think my wife would kill me.) (Louis Wu 18:04:04 UTC)
