I believe you just stumbled upon exactly how Gary Gygax "discovered" the polyhedral dice he included with the very first D&D game.  He scribbled his own numbers when he was developing the rules.

Yes!! 25cent/die!!!!!  Amazing! For months I've been looking at dice on Ebay and after buying a cheesy Chessex set, I vowed to see them before buying.....standouts are 4 frosted 20's, 4 gun metal grey w/ red number 10's, 3 mother of pearl w/ white number 10's, a large green 4, the translucents are neat but I think the quality of the opaque dice blows them away... I think I'm set for awhile..........:D

You can look aroind on Ebay and find some good deals on there. I bought a pounds worth of dice for $15 on there. Better then spending that much on fust a 4, 8, and a 20 sided. :)

I rarely buy new dice because i feel my old babies haven't done me wrong for a while, sure theres the occasional screw up but i trust my dice and trust is the basis of any dice-player relationship. I would never make my dice "Jealous" by buying new ones. I have one speacil one in a locked Oak case that has two keys to it and is packaged in buble wrap when not in use. whcih is almost all the time since i've used it only 5 times and got either a 19 or 20 all 5 times.
