That shrinkwrap machine has paid for itself already

Isn't the seller a member here? Or are you just being ... amusing? I thought I recalled some back and forth about the subjectiveness of the grading of his items, but not the authenticity.

Just being... amusing.

That and the general absurdity of shrinkwrap prices.

Its a good time to be a seller. At least until the 3 or so guys that have been burning insane cash for the last 30 days or so run out or get bored.

I might buy the Blue Box @ that price if someone was trying to 'catch em all' or some crap or need it to fill a hole, but I don't think thats the case for these bids.

Yes it was a good time to sell... took me almost 5 years of back and forth to finally decide to part with anything but finally pulled the trigger to clear some extras out. I really had to many doubles/triples/etc. and hopefully some of those sales were hole fillers for collectors.

In the same time, I was very surprised by the low ending price of the 3rd print Woodgrain (and pretty happy to win it at this price

)

Not only is the price silly, but read the description for a good laugh. I wonder where the seller got his info.

The seller must have had a RPG store at some point. He had TSR factory sealed boxes of the Mentzer basic set a while ago that Gator won and usually has shrinked goodies. I'm a little surprised he hasn't sold them all yet. A trailer or shed where he's been storing his old inventory for years maybe. Hamil's ok, just be careful to read the descriptions.

The eye that looks ahead to the safe course is closed forever.

Especially considering the Euro/Dollar current conversion rate

Currently, it seems to be very hard to predict the ending price of most of items. As hamilcar items, most were highly overpaid, while some surprisingly sold for cheap, like Dark Cult card game

Anyway, at least these prices are good for lordan

The BIN on this is very amusing at $1,000. I wonder if it's because there's a human foot included
