You are forgetting the display quality presentation bag they came in,
and of course the beautiful hand block printed instructions. Got to be

I remember noticing the rip-off prices of a lot of the stuff that got
replaced when you dropped it.

The Suzuki was always going to end in tears (one way or the other) - I'm

More than I imagined. You presumably have drip trays under them in that
case.
