Each of you let me down. I won six lots but was counting on someone among you to save me from myself but we all found different lots attractive....
I would not pay $300 for a foot but that one does have a clear hoof which is often off flan on these but identifies the male figure as a satyr...
Amazon lists some used ones now but I don't know how much I'd pay. They only have volume 2 as well and I'd rather have the set. When the books...
It would have been better to let te sale go undiscussed but it works enough different from the big electronic ones that some things need...
