Well, I'm not sure about your theory, but I've seen a lot of Americans who'd
rather trade than sell. As for asking a little more than MSRP, some of the
sets listed are difficult to obtain, but for the number of pieces in them,
getting them at slightly higher than MSRP prices is fair, especially
considering that a lot of the pieces were in use until a few years ago.
