Great find! Can you give us some more info like Did both stores have the
Paradisa sets? I know you said they weren't identical but was the Pradisa
set one they both had in common? Second, where? Are you on the East coast,
North west, Texas, etc.? Finally, do you frequent these stores or was it
your first trip? If it was your first time it is possible these have been
hidden for years (or 4 years <g>). On the other hand, if you visit there
once a month you would know if this was a new shipment or not. (I really
hope you can tell us it was a new shipment. I've got a three day weekend and
a tank full of gas!) Congratulations.
