Lol, just sold a fine War of the Ring 1/1 for £120 Buy it now
Just noticed its back on ebay starting at £145, it was only posted next day delivery yesterday

I don't begrudge him his flipping fee. At least he gave me good feedback

Is this a record?

I've got a stack of other HoME duplicates he can buy if he wants
