Where's the best place to find a 1655 Explorer ?

I've been trying to find an orange hand Explorer and was wondering where's the best place as I havent seen any pop here in the classifieds section. I was already taken once before. So, I'm extra cautious now. Thanks, Steve

These are not showing up very often......

Prices have jumped and seem to range from 25 thousand to 55 thousand, depending on condition..

I think that they are way overpriced at the moment........

Larry,

Your estimate is too high IMO..... I recently purchased this beauty for a lot less --->



I would say they cost 10-20k depending on condition and if full set.
