And it auto-accepted at $125 for mine

The same down to the serial number on the sticker on the back (is that a serial number?).

Yeah I'm sure the seller is just lazy and is reusing pics but has a bunch of Fs in similar condition

The one I bought and didn't get was a different seller but same area I think, and I believe the board I received might have sold from this seller.

Need to do some research.

The US Post Office large flat rate game board box is $17 domestic and $77 international, so $60 is the proper differential from "free" domestic shipping.

Pretty sure the first isn't helping the latter :/

Post by: Ludovician on Wed, 25 February 2015, 22:01:33: I'm pretty sure the former problem is greatly contributing to the severity of the second problem.

Post by: hwood34 on Fri, 27 February 2015, 13:45:15: Yeah so don't buy from this guy. He's reused the same pic multiple times and is sending different boards to people. I just got mine and it's an XT.

At least he has to pay for return shipping. That or free board.

Thanks for letting us know. Now everyone knows to avoid them.
