The description itself is not all that funny, but check out the Q&A by the seller at the bottom.

Ok, that was genuinely hilarious. You're forgiven, Brian.

I don't know who asked the questions, but I watched that bitch for a good two hours, refreshing the screen every minute or so - just in case they revised it with a Buy it Now . . .

:D :D

You know that acution right there is a Prime example why I now snipe on items that I really want. That newbie was going to outbid ifearyeti, no matter what. Ifearyeti's bid could have been 3 times as much as it was and that newb was going to outbid him. :roll:

I mean, I know your new and all, but when I was newer I was a lot more hesitant that I am today. I just didnt jump into some bidding war for hundreds of dollars without figuring out first what the hell I was doing. It cost me a lot of auctions, but I to me that is the only way to do it.

Someone has been hooked. I'm confused as to what is actually being sold though. It's about clear as mud. If it is for the whole lot I guess the current price isn't too aweful but definitely not a deal...

This book was literally on fire:

Ad&d Monster Manual | eBay

Looks like they took that whole fire breathing red dragon thing a little too far.

Look how dumb this auction is:

Batteries not Included: DVDs & Movies | eBay

Why the hell would he just not put this in his store and let the buyer comethrough that way :idea:
