This has to be one of my favourites:

The picture of the Dragon magazines is one thing but do you really need a 3 minute shaky video of them?

Good spot!  I just looked the auction again with the volume on and I can add that they description is pretty crazy too.  Don't try and low ball him with your offers of 25 cent - $1 an issue. These are collectible and out of print so he wants $3 or more per issue.  This guy is out to lunch.

At least he doesn't want at least $500.


Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

He can't talk right either, it sounds like he has a d**k in his mouth. He keeps saying stuff like "pacific" instead of "specific".  What a tool.  

With that said, I have a bunch of later issues I am looking to offload too, I am wonder if he will be willing to give me $2.50 per issue since with his logic, he should still be able to make $1 an issue AT LEAST on them.  :lol:

Here's another crazy price:

** eBay auction listing blocked.  Please enable cookies in your browser for this site and for eBay! **





Look its 10% off for a limited time!  This is about a $10 book that isn't very difficult to find.



I actually don't mind this seller (have bought some stuff from him before) but it looks like they picked the price for this one from somewhere the sun don't shine.

I found the countdown of White Dwarf magazine from #70-105 riveting.

Just wondering ... are we his target market and he found us (I'm sure we must make up most of the 6 views of the video now)?  Has he been hiding out here complementing us only to butter us up for a sale?

He is from Idalou...basically a suburb of Lubbock.  Sorry, but in my opinion, they don't count as Texans.  :wink:

Actually, right after I posted I thought "Oh shoot, I hope I'm not making fun of the Shane that's on the Acaeum" :)

No worries, they'll freeze into snowmen as soon as they cross the border - snow again today.
