Drizzt for $1500? I REALLY must be missing something [:O]

Even assuming a typo...Drizze for $250 BIN is a bit ridiculous....

Just messaged the seller, it's gotta be a mistake on his part.

Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror.

For that price, he could at least offer free shipping.

I think a more honest approach the seller could have taken would be to list the opening bid as "Bend over"... [xx(].... and the BIN could be listed as "IM A MORON!"... yep, that would just about sum it up!

As a buyer, I once made the error of putting a coma instead of a dot and that amounts to the thousands. So my guess was that his price was ten times lower and that he has not noticed it, cannot change it via eBay or is just waiting to see if someone is silly enough to buy it at that price.

If that was true, and it just might be, then his BIN price is still $250. That removes it from sheer insane to just plain stupid (unless, of course, he sells it then he's a brilliant market trend analysis).

Besides until someone bids on it I think you can change or revoke an auction. If thats the case he either hasn't noticed or like sir Bozak said is just waiting to see if someone is dumb enough to bite.

Just imagine what would happen if it indeed sold at that price...the consequences could be disastrous...I am honestly hoping that auction dissapears, the sooner the better or else other Oop rares will be "tested" at twice their usual BIN...[B)]

Spoke to the seller, yeah the auction is a mistake. However instead of cancelling it he simply started up another Drizzt auction with the corrected price.

And here I thought it might be a gold-plated, limited edition figure that was unbeknownst to the rest of us...
