I do some Star Wars CCG collecting in addition to MECCG, and over on that forum there's an endlessly amusing thread of obscenely overpriced or otherwise laughable Ebay listings. I've seen some good ones for MECCG over the years, and thought it would lighten the mood around here to share a few recent ones that I've seen.

This seller has a whole bunch of graded commons for sale, but this one in particular is amazing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285116117963

Or the seller trying to pass off an MELE dragon faction at an R1 price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/295218971214

Unless I'm mistaken this is from a player at the Facebook group. There is a collection of sale prices maintained by "Jan" over there but sometimes people take the price for singles and just add it up for a collection and the card market doesn't work like that.

A good candidate for this thread has to nail the presentation, not just the market price. That fan of Hillmen -- two of the four pictures! -- is perfect.

Yeah, I thought that was odd to highlight as well. Of all the cards to pick.

I was giving away cards and was trying to give away Hillmen with Halbarad and I couldn't even bring myself to do that.

To be fair to the Hillmen (not the seller), there is some interesting ICE-lore on the Hillmen.

Familiar, right?
