Today I saw NOS full set with straddle wires for $100 and a reasonable $15 international shipping. I had a line on a set for $150 a while back but just couldn't pull the trigger.

I figured I'd make an offer. $80 seemed reasonable and I told myself if they countered I would not go up, but these babies are not coming up for sale and when they do on Retrobike they are gone in hours. I had the money in my Paypal so why not. They accepted almost immediately and I paid up! $94 shipped, not bad...
