Once there was a lad named Kid Fenris. Kid Fenris wanted a game called Emerald Dragon for an obscure Japanese console called the FM Towns Marty. Kid Fenris was willing to pay well over twenty-two dollars for this game. Kid Fenris checked for this game on eBay every day by typing "Emerald Dragon" into the site's search feature. One day, he found this completed auction, which had ended without him even being aware of it.
