This isn't my auction; I don't know the seller, and this certainly isn't an
endorsement.  For some reason neither my browser at work nor at home on my PC
will display the pictures for this item, but the description says it
originally cost over $100.  I have a castle set that seems broadly to match
the description, but I'm sure I paid around $30 for it new at the store.
Does this seem fishy to anyone?  If it's the set I have, then the "more than
$100" claim is certainly misleading, whether intentional or not.  I also
notice that the seller and high bidder have relatively low feedback numbers.
Anyone have any guesses?

Proceeding with caution,
    Dave!

The poor fool ended up paying $50 for it. I could have gotten them one for
$20, still in the sealed box... Hmm... No, I wont be selling anything on Ebay,
but it did give me pause for a moment.
