<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 1564781, member: 5515"]Oh I didn't try to ID the stray ones. For me, if I get to buy a set like this (of course I didn't) it's actually more fun to not know what the extras are in the case. It's such a bonus when there's more sterling in the box I wasn't anticipating. I actually was able to talk to the seller; a bunch of people contacted him when he listed it, and that seemed really suspicious especially when people started offering him more than his asking price. We had a real discussion for awhile and I made another offer but made it very clear that there was no pressure from me and to let me know. I don't think I'll get them, sadly it usually goes like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Seller looks at these HUGE prices online and thinks they have hit the lottery</p><p>2. Seller reposts the set at a ridiculous price, no one buys</p><p>3. Seller decides to take it to a local pawn shop, gets offered a ridiculously low price</p><p>4. Seller finally puts it back on the market at a reasonable price, but 2 months later..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
