Final Fantasy VII music box on eBay
I mentioned a few weeks ago about a rare Aerith’s Theme music box from Final Fantasy VII. Well, one has just shown up on eBay with an opening price of $1000 and one bid so far.
The box is larger than I thought it was, measuring 10 inches on the longest side. The seller says this music box is an edition of only 500, with this one being #044. Here’s the seller’s description:
If you look at the silver part with the six screws and the strips, it is made to look like a piano and as the music box plays, the strips move just like it’s playing a piano (looks amazing). At the front of the music box there’s a gold harp shaped piece that if you move to the left it stops and if you move to the right it plays. The dimensions of its box are 10 inches by 4.25 inches by 6.5 inches. The reason why it’s so expensive is that the music box has 50 NOTES. Most music boxes have only 18 notes, and play only 1 tune. The music box is made out of curubixa wood which is supposed to be one of the best woods for music boxes (curubixa wood is an exotic type of wood : dense and excellent for sound insulation). This is very high quality item. Don’t miss out on this super rare FFVII item. Auction started from $1,000 (no reserve) and buy it now option $1,700.
I keep having an impulse to bid, but then I remember what an obscene amount of money that is.

You thought 1000-1700 was obscene?? He re-posted the item as a buy-it-now of 2000 and changed the bid type to BEST OFFER less than 12 hours before it was up to finish. I wouldn’t go past 1851 for it but apparently someone else would.
I’m pissed.

Your pissed?
I clicked teh buy it now and they relisted it!!!
Then they kept emailing me upping the bid saying others would pay higher. I was not at all impressed and simply did not offer anything further out of spite.
This is clearly against ebay rules.
