I just noted that Bear Family raised the price (as eventually promised) to $750 Euros (or $1025 US). On Amazon now they are getting that price new but PBS (!) is selling for $963 and a guy in Calif is selling a BRAND new copy for $699.99US which about what the original Bear Family set cost from them. Like the stock market and the price of gold, There is now the BE index. ;-) Steve Ramm
