E3 2016: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild E3 Coins And Shirts Already Being Hawked Online

I'd buy that for a dollar! 😉

......
Nope.
The hype is too much now.

Gotta hate those kinds of people, if I got one of those, I wouldn't give it away for the life of me. Fells almost disrespectful.

I'll try to get the lanyard but shirts and physical items are always overpriced. I'll wait about six months and take a look.

Man this is just stupid. I hate Scalpers. I work with one and it's constantly a battle of me telling him not to be a jerk and buy all of an exclusive item we sell just to re-sell. I've honestly been trying to get our store to regulate the purchase of exclusive items by employees so he can't buy us out!

I'm willing to pay a whole three fiddy.

What is interesting about these scalpers are that these are 'for the majority' press people, bloggers, Youtuber's etc... people that report on the games and love playing them. So it, not only gives them a bad name from now on but makes you think, if they are in the right business, do they like the games. As someone who only just missed out on going to E3, I can say any gaming enthusiast wouldn't sell any gaming merch, if they were a true enthusiast.

I'm mad because those shirts are rad.

If they were cheaper? Yes. Don't let the scalpers win.

Nintendo should make those available on their online store.

A similar coin might end up as a My Nintendo reward one day.

Nintendo should have printed thousands of those shirts and sold them online. I'd buy one.

It would have given them free advertising every time I wear it

There's something about those coins Nintendo produce that makes me wanna give up my first-born for a complete set. Or y'know, money. Either or.

(But not $200, ew.)

If they were cheaper I would buy them.

In other news, grass is green

Nothing wrong with them being sold. I don't really think they're some special reward, when almost everyone at E3 is there to do their job. Those not getting paid to be there probably consider just being there as a reward. I know I'd rather have $350 than a t-shirt and coin.

I go to conventions. I pick up an exclusive trading card that others want. I sell them for $20, not $200.

I can't believe people would sell these. Personally, I'd keep them both as special keepsakes (particularly the coin). I wonder how much these things will be worth in a few months.

What really bothers me is that most if not all of the sellers are likely members of the gaming press, youtubers, etc.

I love the shirts that the Tree house crew is sporting, and would love to buy one.

And when its on sale for a moderate retail price, I'm sure I will.

That coin however, is another story. $200 is way too much, but I could see myself buying one for around $20 (Which, admittedly, is still way too much for a dumb coin... but I've spent more on dumber)

I would keep myself.

I could see the coin being done as a per-order bonus. It may be a different metal though to be told apart from the E3 one.

While the design is cool, for me personally, I wouldn't want those just because I wasn't there. I see it as a commemorative token so I could wear my shirt and remember the fun I had at the event.
If you're a collector though and don't mind spending that much money then go ahead.

@ekreig
I personally don't consider this scalping. I do have a problem with someone buying all of an item and selling at an inflated price- like amiibo. But this is something you get by going to an event, yeah the price is steep and ridiculous, but maybe worth it to someone who had no way of going to E3 so this is the only way they'd get it. I only consider it scalping if you actively prevent someone from buying something just so you can sell at profit.

What a load of Malarkey! Like @IAmDeclanJay said above: "...any gaming enthusiast wouldn't sell any gaming merch, if they were a true enthusiast."

Heard!

When the game comes out, nobody's going to care as loads of new merchandise will be released. The coin might retain some value but not as much as the current prices. But I guess, the buyers of these would not care about it's monetary value but rather the collectable value.

But for me. The actual game is the most important. I might get some amiibo if I have the spare cash. But I need to save up for a Wii U (or NX).

That coin though.... ._.

(and 350 bucks would still be cheaper then 2 airplane tickets from/to Germany, hotel room and entry fee, etc... XD)

@Mario_maniac good to know you value your first born under $200.

Hey, 200 rupees is only $2.98, I can afford that.

@Azikira What are the items that he usually wants to scalp?

If it sells then why not?

Sees author of article

Ah. Makes sense.

Just don't buy it. Problem solved.

Ah, jeez. This reminds me of E3 2015 when eBay users were selling those metal Arwing pins and logo patches for Star Fox Zero. If I remember correctly, the metal pins in particular were easily selling for around $100-$150 each.

What bugged me the most were the dozens of sellers who posted their images of the metal pin upside-down, as they assumed, apparently, that it was supposed to be "V"-shaped. That just says, 'I don't even know what this is — I only grabbed it so I could make some easy money.'

...checks eBay ...The one and only 'Buy It Now' listing that I can find right now is currently requesting $59.99 for one.

If I had these items I would keep them. Why would anyone want an item that was only for people that attended.

@ReshiramZekrom Anything that's exclusive to us. He buys all our Exclusive Funko Pops, tried buying ALL FOUR CASES of Nuka Cola Quantum when we got that in (luckily I told the managers the ad had a limit of 2 bottles per person) and anything else that's exclusive, collectable, or hard to find.

id pay 50 dollars at most for it

lol! Yeah I'll wait until they are charging $50 for both on about 4 months.

The coin is really sweet though, gotta say.

Real fans don't dump this stuff online!
