I realize not all of us are ready to dash off this kind of dough on anything—but I thought someone might like to know about it, as they seem to be going for considerably more these days.

This same seller previously sold one in similar condition for this price. I wonder how many more they might have.

[Edit] I see this has sold!

Tantalizing, ain't it, imagining they have a whole room of them? (Not that they do, necessarily—I'm just imagining it.) It makes sense to sell them one at a time rather than listing a bunch of them at once, which keeps them looking as exotic as possible.

[Edit] I see this has sold!

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't think it'd last long.
