Of course I layed out close to a hundred bucks to get them all, BUT that was about 10 cents on the dollar for what they cost originally. I also picked up my second copy of the BYB there.. and many more. IT was/is a place I like to hit when I make the journey. I can spend hours in there. I just moved back into decent driving range for one, so I shall be back soon.. just have to watch it now since I don't have much book room or budget.
Janes's for 10 bucks each? More than a dime a dollar. I've actually paid retail once for a set, more like a penny on the dollar. Worth it though. You're lucky to haves found those.
