I can.

4 piss-poor condition D&D books and a piss-poor copy of a 2nd Ed Monster Manual binder (with monsters), AND a fancy Rebok bag for $200AU.

I'm suprised there aren't more bidders on this hot item...

think I've found someone who rivals TrollToadies descriptions...

Just looked up a rare(ish) board game that I am after and found the description listed as being in 'Good' condition, but "not all parts are guaranteed to be present and is sold as seen"... the only picture of which is a photo of the outside of the box.... :roll:

Geez...I came to your post via an email link and didn't read the "Laughable" category.

I thought you were serious.

Alternative covers? Zowie! :oops:

This seller is geeking out a bit too much in the description. What is he talking about?

Sure, but it's better than the HUGE LOT listings we see... all of which have about five items.

Just to throw FormCritic off one more time...

here's an ultra-rare Deities and Demigods with the misprinted cover

$80 is a steal at that price!!!

This is a rare dungeons & Dragons book in great condition. Item as pictured.

I don't know, with GenCon coming up, maybe this wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Good marketing idea but maybe not the best execution.

Isn't Gygax's name on the book anyway?
