He'll catch on soon! How'd you come across that, Fartsatune? Do you regularly search for "headhunter"?!

But what's the scoop guys? Are they fakes? Does everyone on TC have a half-dozen each already? That price is about $5 US ya know. Anyway cheers, this is my housewarming prezzie to myself, one for me and one for my bro: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2316564930&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOAB:CA:6 aloha, emspace.

Pretty common - any self-respecting collector should have one or two - but to pick up a pair for $5.00 is a great deal! There was a time, not all that long ago, when these guys were selling individually for $50+ on eBay! There was even an unscrupulous (read: very misleading ads) seller that was selling them in sets of four for even more ridiculous amounts. Nice score!

I "knew" what they were (could have gotten off my lazy butt and gone to the right page in BoT but didn't). What stuns me is that even though there was a thread here for all to read (hey fartsatune, thanks for the heads-up! I owe you a Mai-Tai), I was the only TC'er who bid. Hell, I was the only bidder! Guess it was meant to be, praise Lono... cheers, em. P.S. I was doing my money math in reverse. It's exactly (at today's rate) $2.42 USD. Yikes!

First time I've ever seen the start price the reserve! That is strange, isn't it? And this is an experienced seller too...the shipping is gonna outstrip the sale price by a LOT. and the best news of all: because of our recent home purchase, move and associated craziness, Mrs. emspace hasn't had time to pick me up a b-day prezzie (March 28), so she's picking up the tab for mugs and shipping. Sigh...it's all too hard, ain't it? aloha, em.
