Bill-
First of all, buy those 6048s *now*. Trust me, you'll make it all back, if only
in goodwill from .castle traders. :) Then, figure out which sets are clearanced
and which ones you want or need--my own discount price point depends on the sort
of set. I'd buy SW at 1/3 off, but I wouldn't buy, say, UFO at 1/3 off.
