/s is short-type for sarcasm, the same way lol is for laugh out loud. Its been around since the early World of Warcraft days. No one is claiming the seller is doing anything, it was a joke.

Still, lesson learned. I won't post anything similar in the future.

Visitors who look at the site without paying much attention could conceivably misunderstand, or like I, don't use this 'short-type' and misunderstood the intention. Granted, had I been playing World of Warcraft I might have known what it meant.

Members are welcome to join us over on Discord where we can throw around sarcasm to our hearts desire. Here however, we keep things simpler so that visitors can best judge an item, a seller, or publication.

Thanks Luckyshot. I realized afterwards what you were aiming at.

Really?? I purchased my 2nd ed 1st state in slightly worse condition for $250 earlier this year. I also found an 11th for $120 and a US 10th for $10

Where? 6-7 years ago I didn't snag a 5th US Print for $475 and I haven't seen one for under $1k since. I got my 11th (with DJ) for about $150 2-3 years ago. US 10th for $10 even you have to know was a steal. I'm not doubting you, I'm just willing to travel!

Found it on Etsy of all places. The other two were eBay
