Whoever thought

Who would ever have thought a bunch of old war games (10) that have been sitting in a box for the past 25 to 30 years would bring in over $450.00 on the bay.... amazing isn't it?

People pay crazy prices for some things. I stopped being surprised when I sold maps for our airplanes that were over 2 years out of data on Ebay for just short of $1000. OUT OF DATE but some idiot paid this much for them. Makes no sense but I am happy to accept the money!

I am stunned, that game went for $449.77....... for a box of cardboard cutouts with a paper map.
