Uh oh.
You can hide Xacto sets inside Coleman stoves.
(Unless it's a #89 or #99 set)

Here is a #89 set that does not come up too very often. I can?t really tell if this one is totally complete, but I think it is mostly. The paper parts listing in the first photo has a January, 1975 date on it, so this one is from the mid-70s. Pricing is not an out-and-out steal, but not bad at $99. Shipping is a bit pricey to my location, but maybe cheaper to someone else.

You definitely are NOT finding a pristine #89 set any cheaper than this.
I do see it as a steal and would grab it if I didn't already have 2 "enhanced" #89 sets and a #99.

That's a big bummer, Scott.
Honestly if I'd known you wanted it I would have just snapped it up and sold to you the same cost.
Seeing as a basic #87 goes for $80 now, a #89 with triple the content is a steal at $99.
The only other #89 on ebay is an enhanced one that Sue (purplekat) wants $299 for.
I just picked up another #87 on ebay for what I saw as a "steal" for $29.
Pristine, unused condition too. I needed it like I need more rocket and RC airplane kits.
