Wow, Stephanie, what a *great* find!! I never even thought to look on ebay!! I just did right now, and there aren't any there. I think you really lucked out! Yes, you're right the full set is quite expensive, out of reach of most families, but there's a smaller set for $65 (including shipping) but it's only letters a-j. He calls it the "teaser set." Yes, that's a teaser! I had e-mailed him and asked if he would give me a full alphabet plus some extra vowels, and he made me a counter-offer, but then like I said I ended up getting the full set after all. So... how do you like your set? Are you guys having fun? Even my two sighted sons love it and want to use it and learn Braille now!
