Lance says he bought these magnesium T10 cases for 20 bucks at a garage sale. He doesn't say that it wasn't Smokey's Garage sale - but, how damn cool to have some parts from Smokey?!?!?!
FYI, there is a single book, made from the 3 hardcover books, and used copies on Amazon start at about 130, on Ebay, there are a dozen copies and the price starts around 95.
Thrift Books Seattle has 2 copies and the other is for 155
the 3 book set is said to be fantastic, but ridiculously overpriced by anyone with a set for sale. I don't believe I've ever seen a set.... whoever owns the rights to the books, should really print a 2nd run, and make a killing from the imaginary demand for a 1200 dollar set of books. Sell them new for 100, and it's probably 40 dollars of profit.
There are 10 sets on Ebay, and everyone of them is stupid overpriced compared to the set for sale at 225 bucks
The main reason that the original hardcovers went out of print so fast and shot up in price, was the entire printing run was being stored in Smokey's garage that burned down in 2011.
ReplyDeletethanks! But it's dead simple to scan the pages and get that info through a computer program and then the book will be back into printing
