I think the Germans must be putting some serious wacky weed in their pipes! :shock:

The listings pictures do have me now lusting for the Darth Vader cobra seen in the lower right of this picture.

With a vast planet of so called collectors, ones person’s junk is another person’s treasure…
I am sure the seller’s pensive logic runs something like …you never know
That is why I call it E-Prey.

That's the wackiest listing I've ever seen!
Even in Deutsch Marks, that price is wild.
And that peacock "person" is just...weird.

pure marketing genius. How else did he expect to get a bunch of people (in the States for the most part) talking about his listing? I wonder if the peacock feather adorned granny comes with the tattered book? Might be worth the 10 grand for the entertainment value.
