An abused system? That’s interesting what are you basing that information on? Because my girlfriend packed the thing when I moved? and a few things got a little broken? The system has less than 10 knives on it. I could use the money for a few new things for my new house. The 800/1000 stones have very little use as I got them for my birthday in October and have only had the opportunity to use them once. You spouting off about things before even looking well enough to be sure is quite absurd. I will take RazorEdgeKnives’ opinion and lower the price a shade to 300.00 with offers being considered. I would be willing to not sell the granite base if someone wanted to save on the shipping there. If that’s the case 275.00. Paypal is the only payment method I will accept. I will cover the fees.
