Hopefully everyone that would want the $2.50 version knows enough to look for the UPC code box.
Only the uninformed get suckered.
I agree, but you should expect sellers to be as honest as they can, as well. This guy's description (that looks like he boosted it from this site) does not match the book he's selling.
A lot of scammers are boosting from this site.

BTW I did win that Magnus 0.

Congrats on the win. That's a good price even with the high shipping.

Thanks, total was $10.50. As long is it well packed, I won't complain about the shipping for this book. This will be my second raw Mag 0. This book has such a quality story.

Hey, at least he's not sticking it to you in shipping.

$3.00.

Seems reasonable.

The postage will be stamped right on it. :P

If someone actually bid $999 he should personally have to walk it to their house and deliver it.

$9.99, that's more like it! :thumb:

That's a pretty good price for someone who doesn't have this.

Still sealed for $9.99? That is a good price... I got the whole set for $22, but they aren't exactly "mint."

He also has a Punx set for $5, if anyone is interested in that........

:wink:
