49.99 each. I should have bought them all, right?
Not turning is rarely an issue - triflow will take care of it more often than not - but certainly a bargaining point. If they're electric and the wiring is bad, also a bargaining point - if they are treadled, then obviously the electrical is not an issue. I would say for the shape they're in, they're a little overpriced, but not too too much based on what you'll get at the end.
Electrical is also easy to do, but it's something you might want someone with some electrical experience around for the first time.
That said, I believe the Gingerbread decal was also on the 115, so there's a chance you saw one or more of those as well.
