    Starting bid: $10,000 or $100,000 to buy.

    I think they need to work on the eBay page a bit more if they really are serious about this.

    - working gameplay (AI, collision detection, etc.)
    - 6 finished high-quality racing track
    - Cocos2D based Objective-C source code
    - 75% of code and graphics are complete
    - iPhone exclusive, not published on any platform

    This, and a screenshot! hmmmm.

    100k to buy source code and graphics to a no where near complete racing game? For real... Do you know how many units you would have to sell to recoup that... geez.

    Ummm.. Does not Apple take 30%?

    Not sure 3/4 should be called "Near-to-finish".

    Don't you think you're being a little unrealistic? I mean, cocos2d is open source. You used it to build a game that's 75% complete.

    Should the price really be that high? I mean, anyone with decent knowledge of Objective-C could make a game like that.

    well, with six tracks and a pretty unpolished AI i'd say 99 cents for the time being. it's really the publishers choice i the end.
