The 6264 was new in box although the box was a bit shelf worn. I don't
know, I didn't think it was that good of a deal. I am probably not unique,
but unless I really like a set, I have a tough time paying full price for it
which at $25, was fairly close. Now if I like something, I won't hesitate
at all.
