Dude claims he sold it for $400...hahaha. I just offered him both mine for $150 each and his pick of any of the 40+ I have for $100 each.

From the seller:

I've had that panel up for months now at $50 and $40... re-listed it again last night for $425 joking around with a friend (long story).

This morning I had maybe 7 'crack smoke' letters like yours, and one real bite. Called and he came over, looked for a min, asked if I could go $400... it was hard not to laugh.

Nearly ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- when he started pealing off $50's. Said it was a present for somebody.

Off to the bank, see ya!

I call BS.

So do I

And yes Savanahlion there was a pic, but nothing special the "gold plateD" joke was because the guy was asking $425 bucks for it and since they cost way less than that there came the 'gold plated' comment
