How did you get one that cheap...?

 

$280 or so used is what I'd expect, but $180....

that would be one helluva ripoff... $20 off is NOT a good or fair deal. Prices drop 50% for used stuff after 1 year of release.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

eBay is also overpriced sadly. Because of eBay's 15% cut PayPal's 3% cut and shipping prices are inflated. The one exception is rare cards.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
