If you look, there are certain buyers who continually bid on the same things and thereby drive the price up. I wish I had an extra winter set to give you. I have a complete winter set, but I got it by purchasing each item separately. I do think they are worth getting. Keep looking and you might be able to find the parts separately for a reasonable price. For Addy's Sweet Potato set, I purchased a mini cast iron pan on ebay that is exactly the same as Addy's and a piece of pottery that looks very similiar. I had already gotten the recipe from AG. My Sweet Potato set isn't all authentic AG, but our Addy can't tell and neither can my daughter. Good luck on your search.
