They Would Be Nice To Have...

But isn't the price on these items a bit overboard?

It's an ad on EBay for a box of Ivory Flakes and Fab. The price on both is 99.00.

A small description:

You are asking, why? Of course this is too much money. They found those boxes in the back of the basement closet and are planning on financing a vacation with them. Don't be a part of contributing to insanity and highway (or internet) robbery.

Of course the price is too high. There's no way in Hades I'd pay (or anyone else I'm sure) such an exorbitant amount for something like this. Yeah, they are over 50 years old, and may be collectors items, but not for 100.00

I'm sure if this was on Leno (Stuff We Found On E Bay) this would definitely fall under the "NOT SOLD" category.
