When I say the list and started closely looking at the set numbers, I was
annoyed, then disgusted. MSRP is WAY too low for the bulk of the sets listed. If
the sets weren't, on average, 10 years old, then the prices asked might be
reasonable, but to consider any 15 year old set worth MSRP+10%+shipping is
insulting to the seller. If I have to pay through the nose for my space sets
because they are 12 years old, I see no valid reason for same-aged town sets to
garner a similar price.
