Crimson Sands is a rare PC online game and was released in 1996. It was an online role-playing game for the DARK SUN Campaign Setting. The game ran on TEN network (the online platform ceased to exist in 1999 and since then, the game is unplayable). This item is rare and there is some serious interest mainly by video games collectors.

In the second half of 2004 it only showed up once during only once, in December 2004. The item went for $88 with a third serious bidder at $63. A second copy showed up only in April 2006, it was a BIN offer at $59.95 (eBay 8273681876) and was gone within minutes. Later in 2006 and 2007 it sold three times slightly below $30.
