Yikes Again,

In the past week or so, on Ebay I bought an original HB set for $55, the next three of similar sets went for $66, $61, and $124, respectively!

Sam:

Found an "as new" boxed set, 1st edition on abebooks for $70. Similar offerings were climbing past $150 when I quit looking.

Sam,

I'm glad you found a set. I think you'll find that they're well-worth what you paid. To me, the flag section was worth the money alone.

Regards,

John W.

Ole,


Thanks for turning me on to Abebooks. I had never heard of them until you mentioned them. I used them for the first time the other day when I bought one of my dad's Christmas gifts. Super easy transaction, and a huge selection of just about anything.

My wife is happy too, since this will cut our book budget in half !

Regards,

John W.

By the way I am not shilling this for my benefit. Just if any CWT person is interested in this set.

I did notice that the current 'high bidder' has been a sort of a low ball-er in his bids on those other sets, so there may be an opportunity here for someone.
