This just begs to be made fun of:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Not only does it look like death warmed over but the description is for something else entirely. Starting bid is moronic too.

The seller has a few other items that should also be made fun of. :wink:

My favorite is this one. A single common baseball card of a completely unnoteworthy player.

That's only because Burkie refused to pump himself full of the roids. He'll always be a star to me - the only one who could catch his heat was Gary Carter!

Not to beat a dead horse or anything, ummmm but:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I really like this part too:

If you contact me first, I will consider shipping outside of the U.S. only to good feedback and only to countries that do not have an international reputation for fraud or month long shipping delays and will also charge actual shipping and a $5.00 handling fee.

So much for the feign outrage about sellers who overcharge S&H.

Bclarkie, one day, I will get the pleasure of meeting you, and I will buy you a drink for all your hard work. You deserve it, man, you truly do.

I expected that sort of thing, now that Dave has also left us. When will we see $500 Supplement IIs? Probably next week.

Would it be considered rude to ask the seller which part of the box is made of gold?

Not too far from that already:

Troll & Toad has had these up quite a while.

I would sell my Minty First Print Supp... II for $500 any day of the week.
In fact I would sell ALL of my Minty First Print Supplements for $500 each.

In fact I would sell them at HALF that.....
In a heart beat second... And twice on Monday........

That is today.

Anyone warned him of a Coug attack? :?:

Anyway, the thing that gets me is the $176.00 S&H for Media Mail!

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

its not that great a lot really....bar for completion i guess. a lot of that looks well scuffed and used to me and bar for a few items, nothing much of a draw either. massively overpriced imo, but hey if he thinks he can sell it at that - more the power to him!

Are we nearly there yet?
