Including a Jade Hare with cover, Ghost Tower of Invernesss (#181), and a Lost Tamoachan (#34), although to be fair, he is showing these as out of stock.

..hmmm and the coverless jade hare cover is taken off this site as well, I took the thing...hmm...

I can see why. That is one I'd like to have as well. Watch...the next one goes for $100.

Some might argue that this isn't silly, but it is definitely much higher than the norm for an opened 25th box set.

Is Valhalla Games (from Australia) gone off of Ebay? I can't find their listings anywhere. If someone has them bookmarked, let me know. All matches are showing up nothing.

Can't find them on a quick search, but I'm sure I saw new stuff (ridiculously overpriced of course) put on by them in the last couple of nights)

Hey, I agree!

I just like to check on the guy every once in awhile to see if his strategy of selling is paying off....

Four sales all summer. Nice.

But don't you see that in 20 years when prices really skyrocket, he'll still be sitting on most of his stock and IT WILL BE A GOLD MINE!!!!!!!!!

I like the "Please pay within 1 hour of auction close" part too. I wonder how long it would take for them to file a non-paying bidder report? 3 hours maybe 4 after auction close?

I thought this would end up going for around $150 and I was sure my bid was more than ridiculous...
