No one expects to purchase this set for $35.00 And I don't think anyone who is asking $900.00 for a set like this will say. "Oh well, no takers, let's scrap 'em". People need to be realistic, they are a beautiful set, but IMHO, not worth $900.00.
Someone else sees this and says, "well that old rusty Maytag washer out back in the garage must be worth $500.00, because this set is $900.00." And you get more outrageous prices....
