Buyer Beware! eBay Auction for RARE dice!!

I came across the auction below, listing a "Rare Stick of Ten Same # Flamingo Casino" Dice.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3248466137&category=10909

Maybe this person is not aware that the pink logo Flamingo Dice all have the same number. Every stick has the same number for months at a time! The first time I picked up some Flamingo Dice, all of the pink logo dice had the same number. Not very rare.

For a while the Flamingo was using #1902, as you see in this auction. Then they were using #2002, then #2102, and then #2202.

All you had to do was pick up some of the dice with the pink logo, and you could have a matching stick of ten, or a matching stick of fifteen, a matching stick of twenty, etc. You get the point.

Not rare at all!!

The Flamingo dice with the gold logo all have different serial numbers, starting with 001 and going through 999. So, even knowing that, if you collected enough of the gold logo dice, eventually you would come across two sticks with the same serial number.

It's too bad that some dice collectors will fall for this.

But, like I said... maybe this person selling these "RARE" dice is not aware of this fact, and maybe they are aware of this.

Just thought I'd let you dice collectors know.

Thank you.
