Title: Is it worth it!?
Post by: Bowtieguy22 on February 15, 2012, 04:17:13 PM

Just wondering if people think this set is worth more than $20?
I like the hunting theme, but was just curious.
thanks!

Very attractive set!  Not a great hunting fan, but definitely dog person.......if I were looking for a set today  I'd be inclined to fork over $80-100 for this rather than that amount or more for a new set which likely wouldn't have the quality and definitely not the character of this set. ;)

I like that for around 50.00 for me. My wife would hate it though.

I agree, $20 seems like a good price to me. I just paid $15 for a modern (but very nice) set at our local thrift store.

In my neck of the woods this would sell for $80 to $90.   If YOU like it...get it!  Look at new ones...are they what you want even if they cost more?  Get what fits your tastes!!!!
