It's his, he can sell it if e wants. Why on earth would it be an issue?

"Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?" |

If it's his property, I don't see the issue.
It's not like whoever buys it will be able to convince people they actually won it considering winners are all fully documented online.

He's willing to sell something he won to make a quick buck, while the buyer will own a trophy that he should really have won rather than just bought off an internet auction site. No issue here.

Do we know why he is selling it? For all we know there is a pretty legitimate and pressing reason for him to need some cash and the sword is something that can make that money in a short amount of time.

As long as the buyer doesn't try to represent it as his own trophy, there's really nothing wrong with it.

Yes, ebay should refuse to allow him to sell his own property because some people on a gaming forum are outraged that someone else could buy a trophy without earning it.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |

It's a sword you slay people with of course.
It is also the trophy you get for winning a golden demon painting competition.

There are currently sixty-nine thousand eighty five results for trophy on ebay. I am sure some of those have already been awarded ans are sold as collectables, keepsakes, or memorabilia. If he is in the wrong, then the seller is among company.
I kind of hope that poor guy that won at gamesday Japan buys it.

He still wouldn't be able to import it. That was the problem in the first place.

Property laws are not based in morality. If a 4 year old girl spent hours lovingly making a macaroni card for her dad for his birthday and the dude sold it two hours later to buy cigarettes that would be morally reprehensible. You can do legal things that are morally wrong.

He's probably selling it to pay his taxes or to help his sister go to school.

Think people put a bit too much importance on that sort of thing...though if I were to be looking to pick up a sword or three for my game room I could think of a few dozen which I would rather have:

Throw in some stuff like the Predator mask and some of the big axes - you would still be paying less for an entire wall full of metal than what he will probably get for the "slayer sword".
