order goes through!), but people who missed out on this set might want to check
with S@H to see if they can still get this.

Out and never return?

I recently emerged from my dark ages, and I've been trying to catch up with lost
time, but it's starting to get pretty durned expensive. :)  So I was wondering
if it's usually safe to wait awhile for items to go on sale.
