Another blast from the 'GameSetWatch brings you cool eBay auctions after they've closed' department, we spotted that someone just sold the original art from the System Shock hint book cover, blimey.

It's explained: "I did this painting several years ago for the cover of the System Shock strategies and secrets book by Bernie Yee, published by Sybex. Measures roughly 22 1/2"x 25"...depicts the player, a cyborg and shodan... has been professionally matted and framed. It hung for years in the Looking Glass office! Anyway, I'm cleaning house and ready to part with it." And so he did, for a grand total of $535.00.

[Of course, this is much better than the average eBay game art auction, which is for a printed copy of the Atari 2600 joystick patent or something almost as non-rare. Couldn't there be some kind of eBay search for _good_ stuff?]
