Oh, and check out this wigged out Abe magnet...

Wigged out!
I know this is old, but I just wanted to say something, because stuff like this is the reason eBay pissses me off now days.

That isn't official merchandise. Some guy went and got them made up himself and is selling them to cash in and make money. OWI aren't getting any royalties, nor are they licenced.

People do it with FF merchandise all the time, they make their own and it pisses me off, because much of it is worse than that magnet, really cheap and nasty stuff that looks bad. There was even one guy once who used a wallpaper I made for my Advent Children site as a T-shirt. He even left my website URL on it ... so I guess free advertising for me.

What I don't understand is how people can get away with it. Like the gaming companies should put a stop to it. I know it's probably not really much different than selling a promo item you picked up at GDC or E3, but I just think it's low to make your own merhandise and trick people that it's authentic.
