Heh. I believe it. I would have been interested had 1) it not been so expensive, 2) were complete and 3) I had not just bought a complete copy from Crazy Egor for less.

I think I'm insulted.

I REALLY liked the Kalamak books

Yes, me too. So much I actually know how to spell it.

This is not a laughable description but a laughable item:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

What kind of roleplaying is going on here? Wait! Do NOT answer that! :wink:

The description isnt very funny but the photo sure is:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Kinda interesting how there is so much wear to that corner but the thing is shrinkwrapped, which isnt even mentioned in the description. I darn sure wouldn't bid on it.

Hrm. Australia... I'm guessing it's one of the Valhalla Games items, which someone mentioned were re-shrinked by the store.

I love this:

Each piece is missing something, but, "they are in good used condition!" :roll:

Seller shn_ledbetter has five separate auctions . . . and a single auction that combines the items from the five separate auctions:

. . . http://toys.search.ebay.com/_Toys-Hobbi ... fledbetter

I have e-mailed the seller asking if the five-book auction is for the same books that are in the five separate auctions.

Seller is a new zero-feedback eBayer.

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