Fancy owning a piece of PlayStation history? Got plenty of gold PSN Trophies? Well, as we hinted last week, gamers can now bid on some cool real-life goodies with your virtual silverware.
The site’s getting hammered just now, but potentially you can log in with your PSN account, and it’ll tot up your gold Trophies. Then you can bid on the goodies, which are listed below.
| Day | Item | Game |
| Day 1 (7/16) | Black Hand Outfit | Killzone: Shadow Fall |
| Day 2 (7/17) | Infected “Clicker” Costume | The Last of Us |
| Day 3 (7/18) | End Scene Concept Art | PlayStation |
| Day 4 (7/19) | Dragonborn Dagger | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
| Day 5 (7/20) | Witch Doctor Mojo | Diablo III |
| Day 6 (7/21) | Crane Scene Concept Art | PlayStation |
| Day 7 (7/22) | Witch Doctor Cursed Skull | Diablo III |
| Day 8 (7/23) | Delsin Rowe’s Outfit | inFAMOUS: Second Son |
| Day 9 (7/24) | Dragonborn Shield | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
| Day 10 (7/25) | Captain Kenway’s Cutlass | Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag |
| Day 11 (7/26) | Dragonborn Sword | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
| Day 12 (7/27) | Dragonborn Stalhrim Mace | The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim |
| Day 13 (7/28) | Witch Doctor Ceremonial Garb | Diablo III |
| Day 14 (7/29) | Helghast Sniper Outfit | Killzone: Shadow Fall |
| Day 15 (7/30) | Captain Kenway’s Outfit | Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag |
The trick, of course, is to bid tactically. If you really want something, splash all your Trophies on it, but you might want to spread out the bids across the whole collection.
Your Trophies remain in your PSN account, of course. Sadly, this isn’t open to Europeans, but hopefully SCEE are taking note and will offer up something similar down the line.
The Killzone outfit’s already getting bids of at least 300 Trophies…
Bid here.

Cool idea, but this will be for a handful of players only. It would be better if instead you could “trade” your gold trophies for a raffle ticket. That way, everyone would have a chance to win, and of course the most devoted players would increase their chances by getting more tickets.
Still, it is a good idea :)

I can’t see this coming to Europe due to gambling regulations (over 18 restrictions etc.). Even though the trophies are virtual they’re being used to gain real items. The fact Ebay still runs in Europe is weird, I’m pretty sure they’ve luckily managed to find quite a few loopholes.

Auctions aren’t gambling! It’s just buying stuff.
Don’t you think the US also has gambling restrictions?

Yes but in certain aspects bidding can be classed as gambling. My old company used to hold different competitions, gambling apps, auctions and the regulations are very strict and there is a very fine line between anything involving bidding being classed as gambling or a competition.
