AMAZING FANTASY 15 NM 9.6 GORGEOUS

Seller: gio72(147) Final Tally: $30,200.00

OH MY GOD THAT'S A SCARY AUCTION. I have a hard enough time with it to list it here (I almost skipped over it, but I figured it's not for me to judge how legit any sale is unless it's the "return of the super pak" or soemthing,) I can't imagine how anyone could bid even four figures on it…

Here's the description:

"AMAZING FANTASY 15

It's a bindery contract? Paypal only but "NO CREDIT CARDS?" Oh man, this auction is scary. Just for my own sake, here's an auction that doesn't make me queazy:
