I feel more confident I will get my sets now. I noticed on Kaplan's site they updated
it to show the close out price on both the close out section and the screen you get by
just doing a search. I figure if they can't deliver the product, why bother updating
the web page. When I called yesterday I pointed out the different prices/same product
to Hope and she said I could get the first 2 I ordered on Feb 4 at the close out
price, still have to pay their outrageous shipping charges tho :-(
