It's actually $53.00........$16.00 shipping priority mail. People are selling these sets for $99 on ebay. Haven't seen them anywhere else even close to $50.00.

I've made a few large orders with Epsteins. I have to pay sales tax, but even with that and shipping added on, their prices are hard to beat.

I live in Canada. With shipping and tax it's still cheaper to order from Epsteins.

YES SIR! Found out about them through GJ as well! I will say, I've been lurking around here for a few months and, even though there are a few guys on here that make my teeth itch, the majority of the members are great guys! I've been around more than a few years and the one thing that experience has taught me is that there is something to learn from (just about) everybody.

Great people to do business with!
If you are ever passing thru Kansas City, its well worth visiting the store.

I'm gonna drive there this spring. It's a ways, but what I spend on tax and shipping will pay off right away. Hotel and gas will be around 300$. If I bring down an empty tool box and fill it up, I'm ahead.
As much as we Canadians run you Yanks down, you win based on the purchasing power of your dollar.
Come to think of it, why not have a convention. Cheaper hotel rates. Is anyone interested in this or am I talking out of my ***.

might be the *** talking.
I first heard of them on "the other forum" some people were talking about a trip down last February. It was going to be tools and Kansas City ribs. I could not get anyone to go with to help split the gas. Now I could not take the time off. (Good to have a job again)
I may need to make a hammer order, but I need some of them whiskey sour glasses.
It would be a real challenge for them to ship hammers and whiskey sour glasses together.

Enjoy the ribs with a Boulevard Wheat Beer while you are there.
Or, grab a meal at the jazz club just across the street from Epstein's.
