I am very very impatient. So I bought a beta key to Starcraft 2 on Ebay. Cost me $320...


You all think I'm crazy right? Well, yes I am!

Congratulations.... for 5x the price of the actual game, you bought an incomplete, multiplayer-only version. Yep, you are crazy.

haha congratz my ass...I will regret this purchase within the next hour

hey, bro, don't feed those money hungry bastards, wont ya

Too late.

Damn, I empathize with you.. Sometimes I do stupid things by being impulsive exactly like that. When I realize what I have done my facial expressions morphs into the following,  and then  . But after a while I change my mind completely, "Huh, it could be worse, I could have paid that amount for nothing.  "

really bad time to buy IMO. Basic economics man, supply and demand. when beta first came out, $300+ was the going rate for keys. Some even went as high as $400 or more. Once the second wave hit (blizzcon attendees), the # of auctions on ebay jumped threefold. I remember once seeing 180 results for "starcraft 2 beta". The price was going for barely over 200 and some people were making off with it for under 200. everyone knows another wave of invites will hit in a matter of days, the supply on ebay will be outrageously high again and thus the price will fall again. i was thinking about picking a key up off of ebay as well but it just isn't worth it at the current price. If 10,000 invites go out tomorrow you are going to be hurtin when you see the avg closing price on ebay. Just check the box for completed listings on the ebay search to get an idea of the avg closing price.

Plus if a multiplayer crack becomes available that will drop to like 2 bucks.

You are crazy. Blizzard them selves should really make cash of this. Release 3/4 of the beta keys they released and sell the rest on ebay. It would make them a fortune (well not quite compared to wow, but still)

Because sane people dont throw cash away to test a game..
If op really paid $320 then he is a moron..
He must be really rich so who cares..
Beta is going public for preorders and you will have to pay again
