Some were priced high and some had ok prices. A few were even marked down.
I'll have to check it out next time I'm in DC. Got lucky today was in Hillsborough NC and decided just to give the ABC store there a try. They had two Rittenhouse left so I grabbed them.
Guy running the store said he's been hearing that VA is getting most of the harder to find / good stuff right now (including Weller 107 which they had a place for on the shelf but said they've been out for months).
Tough times down in NC for anything that isn't mass produced and aimed at pleasing the majority of customers coming in the door.
