Or a middle eastern counterfiet operation gearing up for our market.

Why did they bid up an old DM screen as high as $34. :?

The North Koreans are almost certainly in on it...some sort of Manchuian Candidate scheme with a pre-programmed killer launching his plot by bidding up RPG prices.

As for insane RPG bids...I am only a little guy, watching the big dogs fight, but it seems to me that the powerhouse bidding was started by members of a little-known internet cabal known by the crpytic acronym of ACAEUM. Bastards! :lol:

That's too much, but it's actually the closest-to-reality price of all his BINs. All he has to do is wait for a guy with lots of money that doesn't recognize the concept of condition, though.

I don't think so. I could see myself paying $1000 for R1-4 in mint condition if I really wanted them that bad, had the money to burn, and didn't have a lot of other options. But asking $179 for an R2 that looks like that is just criminal.

Gygax has traveled back in time! Because it was written in 1978....before he made the game.

The guy's got a feedback of 80.0%, what more do you really need to know? Pretty sure that's lower than jonb went before he vanished.

This is just weird.. especially since the box looks a bit battered and the person describes it "This is a mint and boxed game in unplayed condition" (if so, why are the stand-ups all standing up?)
