What did the one sell for at GenCon??

cant remember the amount but we were all scratching our heads thinking the bidders all needed lobotomys

it did go for a high price considering the condition.

Not really a laughable description but I thought that the picture (or lack of one) was kind of strange:

Never understood why some sellers dont take pictures of the item but then put an odd graphic where the picture should be. Kinda stupid if you ask me.

Hmmm...the guy lives in Plano, Texas. Wonder just how far away from me he is? Maybe I will bid on the auction and ask him if I can pick them up. Then I can go over to his house and smack him on the back of the head for being a doofus.

another classic inflated condition. listed as "Very Fine". take a look at that nice spine crease. on top of that, if you look closely the cover doesn't line up right, you can see part of the first page...

More of an item that me laugh, rather than a laughable description.

That's freakin' awesome!

I would have spent up to $7 to buy that just on impulsive whim . . . but, come on, $10? plus shipping!

I have a plain black dice bag around here somewhere . . .

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.
