A good option for a cheap RIS set is Target stores that are in smaller
towns. If you know someone that lives near a lone Target store, they might
still find one for sale. A friend of mine, that lives in a town with only a
single Target and Walmart, recently got me a RIS for $50. It had been
opened, but all the bags were still sealed and none of the pieces were
missing.
