I'm not really sure how to grade that copy...do we have a "Very Bizarre" category?

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

Sounds like Pac-Man may be a more active relative of the feared Tarasque. :wink:

Well if eating the module qualifies you that you have Best of Intentions, well then, yes he sure does. :D

Hey, this Pac-monster sure is dangerous. It's on the same level of the purple worm, but yellow... maybe it's just a fat and short mutation of the purple worm :lol:

Anyone have ANY idea what this is:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 5&rd=1

I seriously doubt that it is a Bugbear........

Ah, yes, that would make a lot more sense. The lack of large pincers really threw me off.

Put an old water bong in his hand with lots of residue, and it definitely could be..... :wink:

Check out the condition of the WG5 in this auction: 8O

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 0&rd=1

I think this one falls in the grading list immediately under poor. :wink:

Anyone who really wants to laugh, check out this auction:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 9&rd=1

The auction itself is not what is funny, but look at the seller/buyer question/answer at the bottom of the listing. Looks like some kitty taming to me. :lol:

Pretty funny! (didn't know kitty knew the 'magic word')

But why would anyone NOT allow bidders from overseas? As long as they paid for the shipping, I can't figure the exclusion. Is there some big ordeal about customs or something I am missing?

Scouts out!

Thanks for that smile!

Can understand why a seller with a generous refunds policy might not wish to consider selling overseas, or various other possible reasons.

Hey, Cav, this is one of those eBay questions that gets a fair amount of discussion, with people coming down on both sides of the issue. Here on The Acaeum, there's been some good discussions, including this one:

International sales

Personally, I've had some bad experiences with pushy international bidders; others on this site, though, have reported no problems at all. As always with anything related to eBay, YMMV.
