AA50 was for Sale

I am from Vancouver and once in a while I go on Craigslist to see if anything related with Axis and Allies is for sale. Well yesterday I saw there was a local copy of AA50 for $200 CAN which is like $140 US. The add was there since Feb. 3 and according to the owner the game was only played once and was in mint condition.

I immediately e-mailed the owner and wanted to meet with him but he had to work until 6pm. So I suggested I can meet him right after work but he told me someone else contacted him just before me and was meeting with that person first. So I patiently waited until I got an e-mail back from the owner saying the game was sold. I was so sad!!! In fact I couldn’t sleep very well last night because of it. I made my own copy of AA50 but owning the original is just not the same. I wish I saw the add when it was first out. Opportunities like this are so rare. :-(
