huh what?

Once in a while, I like to look at the eBay auctions for Japanese anime collectibles to see what the highest-priced items are. Like, official FFVII Materia going for $800, etc.

Today I saw this auction:

*boggle*

Trouble is, this person seems not to realize that there are cosplayers in droves who will happily pimp out for a distributor, even if some free swag is not offered.

I love all the conditions, too. For $1000, I'd maybe consider wearing a moogle outfit for an afternoon.

Hahaha.

Horrors! A shorn leg is the end of the world! Not at all something that happens when you're drunk.

That's what I call being hopeful!

That's one word for it. Although, there seem to be two interested buyers...

>I will not wear any costume which is demonic in nature.

:D Offending! What's wrong with things demonic in nature.

I hadn't thought of it that way. Nice little twist.

I'm more surprised to see that there are two nibbles on the line. O_o
