You Can Has Recon.
So... remember that auction we held recently, for a piece of Mister Chief artwork, with proceeds going to charity? Well, the price for that puppy took off after someone asked "if I buy it, can I have Recon armor?" and Frankie said "of course." The guy who bought it, though, bandicat... he's just a nice guy, a member of the US Armed Forces, and he was bidding on this thing to help out the Brian Morden Foundation. He didn't even have a LIVE account. When the dust settled, he found himself $6100 poorer (although for a very good cause), and in possession of a suit of armor usable only on a service he didn't have access to. Ouch! Well... his awkward ownership is your good fortune. Bungie looked at his situation, and did two things: they gave him a LIVE account to go with that Recon armor... and they gave him permission to sell it. Which means you can buy it. I would hazard a guess that this will be the only time, ever, that you'll be able to BUY Recon armor, with Bungie's blessing. You've got 5 days - get to bidding. Update: wow - looks like eBay pulled the listing, claiming a copyright violation. Hopefully, this will be cleared up soon. (Louis Wu 02:13:52 UTC)
