Hardcore Gamer eBay auction actually worked

by Brian Allen on Jan 28, 2009 at 10:19 AM

As you may remember, we were pretty skeptical that little known game magazine Hardcore Gamer would find a bidder in its eBay auction. Not only did Doublejump Books find a buyer, but the New York Times covered the story. The new owner, not named in the Times article because the… Continue Reading »

by PJ Hruschak on Oct 24, 2008 at 12:12 PM
