Interesting...

I remember reading almost the exact same description for another Joust pin a few months back...
(...although I can't remember where... )

hmmmmm....,  for a "rare" game, these things are popping-up everywhere...

Calabogie Ontario is ski town about 45 minutes north-west of Ottawa.

It might be worth a drive up there to see if this is for real or not...

He has $56 listed as the shipping price. I have emailed him if local pickup is allowed. I am sure i will get a reply that he is in the UK and he has shippers that will deliver.

I reported it to eBay.
We will see if this auction is pulled soon.

That's the one !

I KNEW I saw that description recently.
I can't believe I didn't catch the door bell "mod" on the picture.

You had to figure something was up when the seller created his account 2 days ago,
and the high bidder has 0 feedback.

I also sent an e-mail asking for a viewing,
but I'm guessing I likely won't be getting a reply....

Nice catch guys...

Steph

I wonder about this kind of thing sometimes... is the seller just lazy and copied the details along with the pictures or is this really a scam.  I know I've copied parts of other listings, they just sound better that what I could write .

Hopefully someone local will run out and check for sure...  Steph maybe?
