Decieving The Blind

Has anyone read the posting on Ebay from that unfortunate guy who was taken for $190.00 on a Grail Diary? Well this guy has every reason to be pissed, I agree with him 100%!! People out there are selling these things as some kind of movie prop replica, which by all means they are not. It amazes me that they give such elaborate descriptions of a million different versions, getting right down to the smallest detail- which almost can be compiled in a book form on it's own. But they ALWAYS seem to leave out that one important factor- that it came with the Last Crusade video game! Yes, it IS an official item, yes, they are difficult to find, but in all actuality- it is only PART of an official item! Naturally they will tend to leave this part out of their description because it seems to 'cheapen' the item, detract from it's position of a 'prop replica', so to speak, detract from it's VALUE. Those who are unfamiliar with this fact are blinded by lavish descriptions of granduer of what is simply a game companion. Now that people are catching on to this fact(after being duped for their savings) maybe the book WITH the game will actually be harder to find and more desirable in it's complete form. I know some people will get pissed at this posting, but everything listed here is FACT, if your an Indy fan then you will agree, if it's all about the money, more power to you- but why not give a COMPLETE honest description of the book???
