Those are mostly sour grapes from folks who didn't read the listings and had unrealistic expectations. Sure, it's a not a great deal, but I...
These anomalous mysteries are fascinating. It's happened to me once.
I presently have a VF minimum in my Eclectic Box collection, though that's not firm and fast and exceptions would be made for rarer stuff that...
