I was hoping for 10 or 12 bucks tops 
The guy had 0 feedback, and just created his account a few days ago. For awhile there I thought it was a fake bid.
One time the bid was up to $20, and in a three minute span, he bid three or four more times to get it to $25. Later, it was $50 or so, and he bid three times in three minutes to raise it to $65.

Just got done with my second playthrough and I lost two team mates this time...
Definitely more impact if you lose someone. Spoilers, just in case.

Well I've almost got all my Team Members. Just picked up Justicar with the Assassin before that. Really would like something along mini-missions to try them all out. I'm ready to try both the Assassin and Justicar. Playing as the Sentinal I'm using Jack and Garrus allot. Just like listening to Jack...she's a trip and her Sonic Blast.
I do have two questions...
Scanning and Probes....The first two planets I did I used all my probes. I've read some claim to have used up to 12-15 on some planets. Is this the norm?
Second I picked up some "Sky Charts" because I read somewhere they are useful. Are there like "hidden" systems scattered and these open those up?

Wow....I'll have to try that.
No way they could reconcile THAT ending for ME 3.

Whenever I get around to playing it a second time, I was thinking of starting a new character from scratch.
But I just wonder if it's possible to get to 30 in one playthrough and without starting from level 3 or 5 due to an import.

I don't think so. I did EVERY mission the first time, with an imported character and still didn't hit 30. The only time I hit 30 was second playthrough because of the XP bonus.

I started at level 3, did every side mission, and didn't reach it.

Yeah, I started at level 5, did everything (I assume) and only made it to level 30 at the final part of the suicide mission.

First time through, I ended up with a ton of extra element zero, and was scrounging for platinum at the end (I think because I did a lot of weapon upgrades, and I never respecced so didn't burn off element zero that way).

I'm not anywhere close to playing (or have played) this game as most on this forum has. Heck I just hit Level 12 last night but just loving this game.I'm already planning my second playthru. The sheer possible combinations with your "Team" is endless. I almost wish it was setup somewhat like Bioshock in terms of levels. In it you could play a area, then go back and play the same area using different powers with a total end result.
Just curious to haven't seen much on which characters everyone used the most be it certain levels or thru out the game. Being a Sentinal I've probably used Garrus and Jack the most. With Jack's Shockwave she can easily take down two or more that are together and to see a few bodies flying at once is pretty cool and plus she uses the Shotgun. Garrus has good balance with Guns and Tech. I actually used him mainly in the first game.

Samara and Thane were who I went with most of the time. I used Mordin, Jack and Grunt a lot as well. I didn't use Miranda, Jacob, or Garrus much at all once my team got bigger. Getting Tali and Legion were the last 2 things I did before going through the Omega-4 relay so I didn't have much of a chance to use them.
In ME1, I used Ashley and Garrus or Wrex most of the time and just shot my way through the game.

I've only have two more for the "Loyalty" missions before heading down the stretch. I still have about 4-5 of the side missions though. I haven't read to much on the final stuff on your "teams". I'm sure I'll have to figure out who goes where and which are better for which team.
I haven't played with Samara yet after she became Loyal and her "Weave...?" power. And same for Miranda with her "Slam" and plus she gets extra for being a leader.....damage, shields or ammo. Since I'm playing as a Sentinal I'm maxing out Biotic and Tech which helps everyone else.
I've already took care of the ship with the exceptiopn of "Medical Bay" and wasn't sure if it really did anything.

Good question fujishig.....all new planets or current ones? A bit of ME1 to it? In any case any DLC is welcomed news.

As someone who hated the Mako, I hope these aren't all vehicle missions.
That being said, Can't Wait!!
