Yup, the invisible IDIOT icon beside the seller's name.

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

Looking at some of his other auctions, he's trying for humor while selling worn items. Humor is fine, but an item's condition should be mentioned. He's probably lazy like me.

ABSOLUTE INSANITY

These monos are not even in S/W or Mint condition. Read the descriptions & check the bid history

I wonder what the other ones he had went for. There was a B1 & an S2 if I remember correctly.

Every single item that seller listed, I think, went above $50....and to the same buyer. Something looks a little suspicious. Take a look at the winners FB as a seller: Feedback Profile

Maybe bclarkie can take a look?

Not to mention the "buyer" has exactly one transaction in the last year..but suddenly he's giving it up for average condition monos? Suspicious to say the least.....

WHEN WILL THE INSANITY END PDT_Armataz_01_23

I know that DL11's (Dragons of Glory) don't come up often, as I have been trying to get a reasonable deal on a nice one for a while, let alone one in S/W, but this is just plain NUTS!!!

DL11 doesn't come up often, and I'm glad I got mine a long time ago. But I feel your pain. It took me forever to get WGR5 (Iuz the Evil) at a decent price in excellent condition. I finally did last month here:

There sure has been a lot of this type of thing going on lately. Maybe things will get back to normal soon.

Long time no see, but I cannot avoid reporting this...

I had put rather high bids on these ones (for their worth), I was pretty sure I would win at least two out of three, and still be reported in this thread. I would never expect such a thing:

The bidding histories are even more fun. Or frustrating, from the perspective of one who just couldn't snipe because he was too tired to stay up until 4.30 in the night.

I had already given up DL11 when I saw it go beyond 60 dollars, so I didn't even bother with a bid.
