Star Wars Galaxies Auctions Afoot

Fusty writes "Game Girl Advance is running a story about the first wave of Star Wars Galaxies auctions on Ebay. Items, credits and characters are already selling for over $250, not even a month after launch. Will Sony/Verant shut down SWG auctions, like they did the EverQuest Auctions?"

    Does anyone care? If someone wants to spend $250 on a virtual light dildo (err, I mean saber), let them. It's their money.

    The question shouldn't be: "Will Sony/Verant shut down SWG auctions, like they did the EverQuest Auctions?" The question should be did you guys get permission to use the name Sony/Verant.

    Starship? They don't have starships. Maybe you're thinking of the *other* Star Wars, the one that involves space.

    Of course, the scary part will be when Jabba the Hutt purchases your frozen balls for his private collection.
