I have an example of this. For those of you playing Kingdom Of Loathing, you'll notice the graffle house that was setup recently by the penguin mafia. Well, mafia is giving away some awesome prices if you win. It turns out that some guy is auctioning a grimacite item on E-bay. Since they are so rare, the auction is currently at 306 US dollars. No joke. I don't understand why just not donate that money to Jick the game developer, buy a bunch of Mr. A's, sell them for 4.4 mil each, , and buy the grimacite item.
