As noted in the fine print, plastic pieces have been substituted for the original wood pieces. That immediately drops the fair price down below $50.

Also these are known to very solidly made with little problems http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5174996084 Alternative alternative regards, Michael
