I tried to find some of the original prices but couldn't find them. I would guess that they're somewhere around $15 a piece. I'm selling the set for $60. I apologize, but I'm only selling them as a set.
I think I can ship it by Free Matter for the Blind, so there's no cost for shipping.
I'll make sure I ship the same day I receive payment.
I'd prefer payment through PayPal, but other payment methods are certainly negotiable.
If you're interested, please send me a private message.
Thanks,
Becky
