Crack Smoking Auctions
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... gory=62053
I've seen this guy try to sell these forever. Check out the 'upcoming holiday season' information. 3DO had them available for $30 online at their store, with I believe $5 S&H. This guy wants $35, $13 S&H!!!!!....and....if you win others, not only does he charge you for not having to waste his time pakcing up to a different address, or for giving you additional business, but he charges an ADDITIONAL $5!!!
That's $5 for putting ONE additional item in the same box that would have been addressed and mailed anyways, and odds are, doesn't affect the shipping rate (and if it does, it's minimal.) Which takes approximately 30 additional seconds, or so.
Gotta love people who charge $120/hour to ship.
And that's not even guaranteed....they'll do 'their best' to do that! Which means, you may not even get THAT!
There are dozens of other bizarre, and possibly illegal, 'terms and conditions', but you all can see those for yourself.
Why some people seem to be immune to the realities of the Free Market, I'll never know.

That just cracks me up. Especially when you do a search and come up with 23 being offered for $.01 Hell, I even think one of the board members gives away 10 copies of X-O #0 with every $.50 purchase.This Very rare comic is hard to find

But its a METAL comic! And its "Very Rare"! Plus that kickin' frame must at least be worth that initial $50+$15 shipping fee.
