And on the flip side, I thought this went loo low...

I was actually aiming at those TSR World of Greyhawk Olidammara Dice... they seemed neat and I honestly never heard of them before... but when I saw how high the bid got, I bailed on the idea of bidding on them. heh

Looks like some sort of placeholder bid. Notice the numbers...?

God I hope I am right...

Wish I had seen the Oli dice. That was very cheap relative to rarity and far higher typical sales prices.

Really?! I though these were as cheap as chips. I really need to get to know dice.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I think they are just common enough to slip though the market relatively unobserved from time to time fairly cheap so the results are up and down.

Well, in that case, anyone who wants a set for $30, PM me.

Same seller another starting bid of $99.99 for the hunting dragon mini.

Sigh... so I had to look.
This seller has like 8 Miniature listings, all starting at $99.99.
While I do not recall the last time I saw the Cyclops miniature the other Minis I see nearly every week on e-Bay sell for around 10 bucks or less.

At least this seller offers free US shipping.

Call me silly, but something... I dunno, just a feeling I guess... that this overpriced, albeit tentacled, DDG comes with cat odor. Can't really tell. Just a hunch I suppose.

That's clearly Bast, Egyptian goddess of cats, representin'. The question is whether cat goddesses use litterboxes, and how often their high priestesses clean them...

Picture, does not match title, or description.
To make things worse, the listing agent for Trolls Toads, prints down accurate descriptions for the varioius prints regarding Wizard vs Lizard logos... :roll:

Good question.
I can understand the listings that include the Tounament versions as well... but this is simply wild.
I thought it would end at $100... but it keeps on going and going and going....

Frank must be happy dancing in the halls at his house.
More money for Patron Tequila ....

This must be the gold leafed version of C3

Really don't understand why this bidding over 10 times what I would expect a SW C3 to go for.

LOL, most of the other SW stuff has eclipsed sanity. Bidders lists are amusing. I'd be interested to hear the reasons behind some of them if anyone wants to fess up after the fact. Solely because of the seller's identity?

I'm sure there's more involved. Nothing against Frank, but $300 for a SW module, which he did not even write? Doesn't measure up. Sell the car, Frank! You could probably get a cool mil at least from these guys!
