RE: Amusing Craigslist Ad

Some Craigslister thinks that there's a fool born every minute. I wonder if somebody owes a bookie a drug dealer $15 K and hopes to raise the money fast.
 
Oh, well. It looks like Larry the leg-breaker is going to get some business soon when somebody finds he can't cought up.

Found this kinda funny.

Now, either the person who wrote this is on drugs (likely), or the good folks at King’s Hobby were playing a cruel joke on someone.   I emailed them a few times with links to eBay auctions showing them the true value, but frigid responses were all I received back.   I must have a million dollar collection if one 2035 set in whatever condition is worth $15K.
