Rare Pharos joint set up for auction.
Item Information
Both of these rare items are in mint condition, as they have been since I bought them from a mysterious collector many months ago. Their surfaces are smooth and without flaw, as fresh and clean as they were the day they rolled off of the assembly line and onto the shelves of the torishop. Rumor has it that these very joints were once worn by the great and powerful veb, overlord of the forums, and the right-hand of hampa. I believe this rumor to be absolute truth, for when they are worn, one can still feel the faint aura of the immense power that they once controlled.

The Auction Block
Ideally, I would not like to split this rare and wondrous set, but hard economic times have forced me to offer these fantastic items separately.


The Sublimely Beautiful Pharos Force
Minimum Bid: 15,000 tc
High Bidder:
Auto-buy: 120,000 tc


The Staggeringly Powerful Pharos Force
Minimum Bid: 15,000 tc
High Bidder:
Auto-buy: 120,000 tc

Questions and Answers
Q: Why is your autobuy so high?
A: Because I believe these items to be the very set once worn by the great and powerful veb during the early crusades, and that such a rare collector's item should be sold for the high price that their reputations deserve!

Q: Is this some kind of joke? You can't be serious.
A: I am not joking! I believe that any discerning collector of curios such as myself would leap at the chance to own these items for such a low price!

Alas, it is true, Pharos itself is not very rare, but then again, most of it has been subjected to the hardships of use by the general population of toribash. Such common pieces of the Pharos set, dented and scratched, dirty and abused are certainly easy to find.

These joints however are not the average joints! These wonderful joints are still fresh, almost brand new! Free from scuffs and scratches, Still shining bright after all these years, lovingly cared for after their use in the great veb's early crusades, once used to direct such awesome powers and then stored carefully in case they would be needed once more.

Surely such wonderful quality in an item with such a prestigious history, lovingly cared for and preserved to this very day after their use in such a momentous event in history should command a somewhat greater price than the average man's Pharos items, cheaply mass-produced replicas of such fearsome joints such as these?

So cruel to me, all of you skeptics and naysayers. Comparing such wonderful joints, lovingly hand crafted and painstakingly cared for works of art with such historical value to the cheaply-made replicas in the common market. These are not like the replicas of recent times, made to honour the memory of the great crusades, but the originals, thought lost to time before being recently rediscovered.

You drive a hard bargain, but alas, I am forced to lower the starting price of the auctions to a mere 15000 toricredits.

Lapsus you did the right thing. 15k is good min bid (i would bid if i had tc for it : (. ) and usually nobody buys with auto-buy prize so it can be high : )
