I will admit in a moment of weakness I paid $49 for Yeehaw. All the other rare stuff I have I waited, stalked, and snatched up bargains when I found them =)

I have had a lot of luck by posting in the ISO forum. I went on a big hunt for many retired sets in the last year (I just started with stamping and using SU about a year ago) and the ISO forum was incredible for me! Of course, now I'm looking for a French language set... Serenite ... and no luck there.
I actually have a couple of the sets above and may part with one or two older sets, but there are others that I'd never give up. I check the ISO forum almost daily - sometimes if someone really wants something, you might realize that you don't really use it that much.
I've thought the same thing about SU catching on, too ~ of course, this time they did add a soldier set, so maybe there's something to it. I agree that an updated Girl Scout set is a great idea. My daughter would like to be in Girl Scouts and I know I'd want something more current for it anyway.
And I agree also that ebay is usually outrageous, but it's worth checking because sometimes a set will 'fly under the radar' and end up being reasonable.
I just wanted to point out that the Serenite set is actually still current in the Canadian SU catty for Spring and Summer. So if you really want it just post in the BST and I'm sure you could find a Canadian demo you could trade with.
Ok, there was a set a few years back with the fourth of july theme and a country angel on it. I saw it on ebay a few days ago, but it was gone before I even could read the name of the set. I love this set!! Anyone have any idea what the name might be??
I buy on ebay a lot, the most I have paid is 17.50 and that was shipping included for headline alphabet!! I usually get most things for 10 or under. I am a SAHM so I can get on frequently and pounce on the sets at the last minute if no one has bid on them yet.

I picked up Yeehaw here, NUM, for $25 shipped. I still haven't mounted it like 18 mo. later. I just hate to do it because I figure it will be good for a trade at some point.

I watched e-bay for many and got a few high priced but always wanted Happy Trails but it was just too much, paid way too much for Fishin', Construction and Special Greetings and Favorite Greetings. But I will keep them at the prices I paid.....
That isn't the one I was talking about....but that card is absolutely adorable!! I may have to do some more hunting on ebay.
This set just had an angel...a little country and a little whimsy and stars around her. She was a long stamp. Then the others were I think stars and maybe a saying...hmm. Like I said I only got a quick glimpse of it, but i know i loved it.
Thank you so much for trying!!!! I appreciate the help...however you have noe perked my interest to other stamps ... it never ends!
Believe it or not, I just saw on a friend's blog that she has it for sale! I emailed to see if she still has it - I"ll PM you if she does and you can 'get together' on it
I was lucky enough to get it from ebay. Last year I won an auction lot that had On the Nile (unmounted), Egyptian BG (unmounted), Celtic & matching wheel and Bareback (I think, it has horses) & a sketchy horse wheel. My DH had to watch the end of the auction for me (I had to take the kids to religion class). I think the final price with S/H came to ~ $150 (& DH was totally fine with it, he knows I love Ancient Egypt & stamping AND he knows that Stampin' Up! stamps are very good quality). I was able to sell the Celtic stuff to my friend to recoup some of the cost.
In case I get a lot of requests, I thought I should just do it first-come, first-serve just like on BST. I hope you all think that's fair. I mean, maybe no one will really want these, I don't know :rolleyes: .
If you have an opinion, let me know, and maybe if there are a lot of requests for a set, I can write down the names and by tomorrow at noon, put the names in a hat and draw them. Do you all think that would work??
Oh well, I'm probably going on and on for no reason at all ~ so here are the sets!
Equestrian Dream $35
The Gifts of Spring $30
Spirit of the Season $23
Along the Shore $20
Now, I don't check all over the place for the 'going prices' but from what I've seen in the past, and the scarceness of these, I think the prices are fair.
Wow, I feel more nervous than when I put them in BST!! I feel like I *know* you all... Just send me a PM by noon tomorrow if you are interested in any of these sets! Priority flat rate shipping is extra.
I got one really fast reply to my post with the older sets for sale, but I still have Along the Shore and Spirit of the Season - $20 each if you're interested!
I found courage and honor on here a year ago for $22. IT is brand new adn unmounted. SO now that I have it I don't want to USE it because then it would not be *new* however I don't want to SELL it either, so did I actually win anything? (I got the wheel too)

Dreamcatcher is one of my favorites! I probably paid too much, but I love that set. I wish I could find Wild Wild West affordably.
Oh ya, I just seen WILD WILD WEST gor for 137.00 on Ebay the other day! Another one is now up for bid and with 3 days left on the auction it is already up to $96.01 !!!

For OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS did you try the ISO thread? I got mine on there for $20.00 last fall. Sometimes you can get really lucky on the ISO as other SCSers are just trying to clean out there closets!
Someone just posted a site in the thread about new stamp companies: www.incrediblestamps.com. They have a ton of classic car stamps - maybe that will fill the need until you can get the SU! set
If I could only count the times I have passed on a Retired set only to regret it later!! Hindsight is 20/20 for sure!
I had a list of Retired sets and actually bought the following either here or e-bay:
Polar Pals $5.00 unmounted and PERFECT
Fishin'
Antique Autos $12.00 (never used!)
Feathered Hope fr $15 at a local garage sale
Sweet & Simple Salutations $5 at a local garage sale
I would still love to pick up Penquin Paradise and Gone Fishing, but not for $$$!! Okay, off to surf e-bay. You girls are so bad.

Oh my - you got some incredible deals!! I can go to the BST forum and see a post with great prices like that from just minutes before and I'm never the first one ! Congratulations - you could be a stamp set broker!!

I GOT IT I GOT IT.
After months of searching, I actually found the set new and unmounted and paid only about $15 more than a used set on ebay.
I'm off to do the happy dance now!!!!! Man what a great day!
