I have to agree with you here Tim. Since the parts used in the stand are
also used in lots of other sets, that certainly wouldn't justify doubling
the price. Also, the rare chrome parts doesn't add that much value to the
set unless you are specifically looking for those parts. I think the number
of people that will buy the set specifically for the chrome is rather low
compared to the overall sales. I for one want it for some of the other
parts and will likely end up selling off the chrome parts.
