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:

I wonder what "List Price" the seller is referring to:

Role Play: Clothing, Shoes & Accessories | eBay

Sadly, it is very "fraigle".

I am constantly stunned at how poorly people spell in their auctions. Do these idiots even proofread? I can understand a single minor mistake, but this is a frequent occurrence.

Well, he spelled "Dungeons" correctly 1 out of 3 times. 33% isn't bad . . . is it? Especially when the price for a Fiend Folio is so reasonable.

:D

Surprisingly, no. Even if you could get a chimp to type, instead of smashing the mouse into the keyboard repeatedly, the chance of it correctly (randomly, because chimps don't know how to read/write/spell) spelling a 8-letter word would be 1 in 302231454903657293676544. And that's a chimp, not a monkey.

Monkeys would just rip apart the keyboard foraging for crumbs and insects. :)

However, oversized lemur-men with complete mastery over the forces of magic makes for a pretty cool PC race. I really should finish that...

Or you could just use a liger. After all, they are bred for their magical skills.
