That's exactly why we predicted it would fail back in 1990.
Harder to get away with "borrowing" a Playboy because they ARE shipped in a plastic wrapper. (And I'm sure i have had NN and Coin Worlds...
I can see posting it here for one reason only, and that is because many of us do sell on eBay and it can be a warning to watch for this problem....
