The most rare item I see is Number 17:

(1) 10-sided dye (by increments of 10: 10-00)

I hope he/she wasn't coloring his/her hair with it ...

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

No need for the lengthy description when he should just say "awesome module....obviously I played the shit out of it".

...if you answer to either "G.M." or "JIM ORTLIEB", you might want to consider reclaiming this piece of your childhood...
