This is just plain sucky... I'm sorry. It is.

I don't care what print it is (1-2-3+), the condition of these things is atrocious, and compared to fair condition as described in the Acaeum forum, this set should not go for more than $100.

That is pretty bad, it is not even in good enough condition to scan.

And I once thought they were overpriced at $10!

Shrug. Somebody paid $360 for it, therefore that's what the price should be.

Price is what somebody is willing to pay for it. Nobody forced anybody to bid.

No, their arm was not twisted to bid, still a crazy price to pay for something that beat up. Good $10 investment though!

If they paid it, they obviously didn't think it was crazy.

That's not how collecting or the market works. It's what the market will bear, simple Economics 101, actually.

I even had the audacity to complain when our rent for a 2-bedroom went up to $85 a month. Why, that was almost 1/3 our monthly income!
