Hi all !
I think he (Steve) made a good job in honest manner , one
shouldn't hate him for "mistake" in advetising !
I guess you all know that prices fluctuate and his prices are summ of
those fluctuations + I guess he didn't use eBay as only source while
most of sets sold there get more than overpriced !
... Just my opinion !
Enjoy !
