Ebay is your friend. Your un-informed friend.
« on: November 16, 2009, 03:03:07 AM »
I often see links to ridiculous e-bay auctions, so I thought I wouls put this one on here as I haven't seen one like this in a while.

 I like A.M.F., but c'mon.

Believe it or not, I had one of those in the pro shop a few months ago... Maybe NOT such a rare find after all!

CRAZY PEOPLE!!

Well, such finds pop up on German ebay, too, including original leather bags. But the price here is insane, by any means and from various perspectives. Strange things happen...
