Seth doesnā€™t seem to make B sets any more, just D and C, so this would be a fairly unique change of picking up a full set in B.

There was a 1/2 set in B that sold recently for approx. $4300, about $1300 less than what a new 1/2 set would cost.

A new full flat set (in C) from SG would cost $9625. If the reserve is $1000 below that, it would be $8625. The buy-it-now price is $8700, meaning that if someone is seriously thinking of buying this set, they should use the buy-it-now option.

With the hard case included, itā€™s probably a good deal.

pant, pant ā€¦ maybe in 20 years! Anyone wanna store it for me 'til then? :smiley:

Hey, thatā€™s a good idea re the ā€œflapper valveā€ dot (tho I still canā€™t see that phrase without thinking weā€™re talking toilets)!

Many makers have some sort of indication for the angle of the valve, not just on the bag but also on the bellows. Mostly itā€™s just a small notch, stud or stamp.

I love this place; Iā€™ll go have a look at mine. Thanks, PJ! :slight_smile:

Anyone want to loan me $8,000.00?

You can have my brother as collateral! Really!
