Okay, is it just me, or are people going from silly to just plain stupid?

Almost $60 a book!?!

Looks like he lowered his price. It was $300 earlier today.

Not really a silly starting price, but sure is out of control now!

Note, that is at best a second print GW box set.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Silliest auction starting price of the year :lol:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... TQ:FR:1123

Also refer to the first feedback of this shady dealer : "desistement aprÃ¨s la fin de la vente sous prÃ©texte : montant trop faible" which means : "sale canceled after end of auction : amount too low"

I'm doubting it is worth ~ $150.00 as stated ???

Used Merwig's Mazes are worth a fraction of that amount --- $20 - $30.

This copy of Silver Marches will set you back $125 - but hey, you get free shipping!

** expired/removed eBay auction **

There are a couple of neat minis in this lot (the Heritage owlbear for one) but you're pretty much looking at a bunch of common Grenadier minis for an average price of $3 per mini...ouch.

Not as ludicrous as that, but still ridiculous nonetheless for a $40BIN

Okay, I could almost understand the starting price. Resellers do that. But the BIN???

Oh, I'm well aware of it. At the time, the BIN was listed as $8495.00 which was highly unusual for anyone. Looks like it was a typo. New maths. It's changed now.

Even if you take off $100, it is still nuts!

I have seen the 2nd (I think?) edition print of this game go for 100+ when unpunched so its not a huuuge stretch.

I'm sure I could probably list a new T&T auction every day of the week in this thread but this one stood out to me - check the condition:
