A $25 packing fee for a job which MIGHT take 1/2 hour, if he takes a coffee break. What a hammerhead.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

no flaws that I can see other than being very old, and gently used, corner has tiny piece missing but thats it.

Had to wipe the tears out of my eyes after reading that one. :roll:

Gently used by a wookie as toilet paper, just maybe. At least the starting bid is legit (1 cent). Unfortunately the item isn't even worth that.

It's harder to choke down the $5 shipping.

I like this kind of book...for free...or maybe 25 cents at Goodwill. But, at least this one got used. "Never Used" is the saddest phrase in gaming.

Priceless

Why is it these people think having no color cover makes it rare. Next they will be pulling modules apart and shoving it in a ziplock bag claiming a EXTREMELY RARE LOOSE LEAF BAGGED module. :roll:

What tension there will be on this auction! How many snipes have been set? I know what we're all thinking? Will someone bid 1 cent? Will someone bid 6 cents? What drama! Can you imagine if someone bids as much as 11 cents . . . or even 16 cents!!!

Cha-ching!!!! That seller is going to be raking it in. (wish I could get in on some of that action!)

I think this seller is a bit confused about what the category "Role-Playing > Fantasy" means...

And remember, to beat out The Coug, you'll have to bid over his palindromic* totals ... 11 cents, 22 cents, 33 cents, etc.

+++++

* Might not actually be a word. But it should.

Sheer numerophilous palindromic ingemination, that's all.

Ok I know this has nothing to do with D&D but I just love this seller's note just under the auction title and the first sentence of the description.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I always get a kick out of the sellers that feel the need to be ultra-blunt in their descriptions.
