| | | | | (...) LOL - Yeah, it's insane. But the tub was an awesome deal at $20, and I can see people willing to pay to get those parts.

| | | | (...) I am sure anybody willing to pay that much for it knows exaclty what it is - and I think it would be safe to say that they are Bionicle freaks. Plus nobody is forcing them to buy it, they are doing so at their own free will. As far as stating (...) (20 years ago, 1-Sep-04, to lugnet.market.auction)
