ODDWORLD goodies auctioned in ebay
Hello friends:
I´m new in this forums, I think I´m not breaking a rule, but… I have post two Oddworld related articles for bid in ebay. I´m a old Oddworld fan and I don´t want bid them but I and my family need the money. Surely in the next week or so I will put in ebay two things signed personally for Lorne and Sherry. http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...5649&rd=1&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...6410&rd=1&rd=1 If this don’t´disturb the forum please don´t erase it. Thanks !!!! |
Welcome to the Oddworldforums, Aloloco! :)
Hmm... I'm truely interested in those two things. But I dun have the money for an auction, I guess, too many oddworld fans want to get them. :) So it's surely gonna be pretty expensive. I just wonder, where did you get these things from, before? |
Hey, thanks for the heads up, Aloloco! I already have all the Holiday cards, so I’ll leave them for someone else to enjoy, but I’ve got none of those postcards and stickers (excepting the fan club stickers), so I’m quite interested in those.
I’m really sorry to hear of your money problems, but Oddworld merch always goes for high, high prices. Sometimes ridiculously high. Good luck with everything. |
need those cards!
how did you get all that stuff? and I can't wait to see those other items :p |
Welcome to the forums!
I don't have any money right now, but dang I wish I had those... |
Thanks four your welcome !!
Those items were sent to me from Oddworld Inhabitants some years ago |
Welcome, Aloloco! It's rare that there are members which are 35 years old. :)
Interesting items you got there. I must look if I get the money for it. :
|
*slobbers*
If I were rich enough I would spend it all on Oddworld merchandise... ...But I'm not. Oh, dreams, dreams... |
I wrote several letters to them and they very amiably answer me and in addition different goddies were sending me in diferent times.
I even spoke with Lorne by email several times ;-) |
Wow, did you really spoke with Lorne? Didn't it take long untill you got his answer? I thought he's quite busy.
|
Awesome..... well, that makes a total of three people here who have spoken to Lorne in some way!
|
Abe Babe will always be here in spirit. So four. :)
Plus I believe Sapphire has posted here quite recently, which makes five. |
I so desperately want that stuff, especially the Christmas cards/postcards, but i don't really have the money to fund internet bidding, nor do I fully trust it. Not that I am doubting your trust aloco, more the matter of whether the shipping goes aheadproperly and the items and money go to the correct owners. Some day I'll own that Oddworld merchandise, hopefully.

:
but still, that makes five people that we actually have at least seen post here! |
what about Mr Bross, Alf and Alf's Assistant? :p
|
That reminds me of those few who have spoken with the cast and crew of Scrubs, when dialling the joke number of Turk's mobile telephone, and finding that (against all odds) it actually connected to a payphone on-set.
|
:
And you didn't had to pay something for those many goddies?! |

It’s this insanely clever American television comedy programme set in a hospital. Nothing to do with enslaved Mudokons. Or Oddworld.
|
Which would mean I committed the capital act of veering off-topic in the GD. Please, oh great ones, forgive me!
|
no that's not a problem, the problem is that you don't have to assume everyone knows what you are talking about ;)
:p |

Oh man... more counting. well that would make a total of 8 people. and then the people that worked on the Oddworld games would make about 30 or 35 and then there is Sherry which would make 31 or 36 and then I think that Lorne being Lorne would make 32 to 37 people. and then there are his parents, grandparents, classmates, gas station people, doctors, nurses, teachers, fans, game producing people, advertising people, car salesmen, people who work at Sears, and then all the random people that stop and say "hi". that adds to upwards of 1,000 people. But as far as I have counted only 'bout 6 people who have posted here on the forums.... but still. that is quite a number. both 6 and 1,000...[/trying to act smart and counting] |
I wonder, if you're so much of an Oddworld fan as to have had the great honor of speaking to Lorne (by e-mail, but nevertheless), why you've never showed up on this forum before.

I was in this forum (I believe that it was the same one) years ago, I called CrazyVykker, in year 2000 or thus, long ago, then they were Abebabe and another Australian young who had another web about Oddworld.
To maid: I didn´t have to pay nothing for them. They gave me them To creepy: I spoke with Lorne by email, not personally, please excuse me if I have expressed badly, my english is not very good. I don´t take long for him answers, normally he answer me the next day morning (different horary uses), I only can tell good things about Lorne, NEVER ignored one of my emails (four or five I sent), he was really a very, very kind person and, in the form he answer me, and amiable person was with me I only can think Lorne is a charming, very good person. I have post another item in ebay a christmas postcar hand signed personally by Sherry and Lorne. http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...7511&rd=1&rd=1 I have only a thing more to auction about oddworld. If you had asked to me 5 years ago if I had auctioned these things about Oddworld I was answer you NEVER !!!!, but... |
Damn, I missed out on the period when Oddworld was big, exciting and visibly growing, as I was without Internet. Hell! It'll be ages before we come full circle and return to that type of period, when the fourms were lively and interacted with OWI.
|
Like when the movie comes out?
|
Bullet magnet
Yes, with Citizen Siege Oddworld will rise again... you will see ;-) |
of cource Oddworld will rise again :)
with such greay fans as us to support them :p |
:
>.> But then again it might again be my ignorance of Oddworld current events coming out of the woodwork. I live in the past. But I really believe the stories of Oddworld are going to be with us for a long, long, time. Whether there are 50 of us or 50 thousand. |
That was a pretty good deal, I was watching a set of 5 stickers on ebay US and they went for $75 I couldn’t believe it!
