Hey Tom,
Sorry for the delayed response. Was away for a week and a half, broke up
with g/f of 3 years. The couch was my best friend for a few weeks.
Anyway, I had about 1000 into the set when I bought it new about 6-7 years
ago. Still have the receipt. All stored inside a/c controlled house away
from any heat or light sources in original boxes. Set is complete except
for windshield visor decal which was already unavailable at the time.
If interested, make an offer.
TonyC
