I see three directions this is going to go;

A) Many folks in the U.K. are screwed.

B) Those eBay scalpers are going to make a fortune off the U.K. folks.

C) U.S. based users (AJ perhaps??) offer to help these folks out.

sigh. you want to dickwave how long you’ve been a member fella?

He didn’t say that he’d been here for a couple of years to play up how long he’d been here, it was you and your ego that made this about who was here longer.

Nobody cares that you’ve been a member for 9 or less years.

That you’d sooner stuff one down your underwear then into your gloating trap, it seems.

Now if you’re done gloating, we’ve got to get some plans to get our PKEs fleshed out.

Well, I don’t see how people in the states would want to help out someone who is bashing one of our american brothers. Go have your crumpets and flesh out on your hairy palms.

My arrangements to get a PKE for myself and a couple other friends are pretty much sorted, he just needs to get confirmation he isn’t going to get stung by some sort of legislation.

And you’re overestimating Adam’s value here.

ahh you guys make me chuckle, this bickering needs to stop, especially if you want something.

Proton Charger does have a point though, a lot of people only post when they have something to complain about, sure he said it in a pretty epic troll of a way, but we all know how his humour works, laugh or ignore it

dick waving aside, are there any nice US members willing to buy extra PKE’s and resell them at cost or cost + a small percentage?

its the Damn European Union’s Fault, Matty’s for refusing to put easy peel stickers on/telling us late

I hate to be negative, but you can’t be sure you’re getting 3.

You will log on to [MattyCollector.com](http://MattyCollector.com) on December 1st, just like the rest of us, and _\*attempt \*_to purchase 3. But will you get them?

[MattyCollector.com](http://MattyCollector.com) is awfully slow on sales days, and I expect there will be hundreds of scalpers waiting to buy 10 at a time, possibly buying all the PKEs before we can get to them.

I hope and pray I can get 1 before they sell out.

I just wonder will this make the sale worse, scalpers will surely realise the potential sales bonanza they could have reselling these internationally

They will still all sell even if only the US can buy them, just maybe more scalpers will come and buy 10 items per order

I was thinking the same thing Gibbs. I know the sale time will be stressful, but now I have to deal with scalpers who are buying because they know they can sell them on Ebay to people overseas who were unable to get them.
