Am I gonna regret this?

I just won two Boye needle master sets on ebay for $20, it appears that sizes 3-13 are included, and the kits look pretty complete. The auction was obviously by someone who cruises estate sales, they are probably some dead old lady's needles. The Karma doesn't bother me, but are these needles any good? I figured it was a cheap way to get lots of sizes, then I could buy nicer needles of sizes I'll use often... What do you all think?

I actually like my Boye needles. :hide: I like my Susan Bates better because they're slicker, but the Boye ones are totally fine :)

It's your preference on the needles - your opinion is the only one that truly matters! :)

I *like* the idea of previously owned needles. That's good Karma! Think of the life they've lived! The hands of the knitter before you created beautiful things that live in the universe somewhere and you now have a connection with them and with her. I like that. :love

I love my Boye needles... I paid $50 for a new set and that was 40% off... you got a good deal :) Enjoy them! They sell the individual parts if you need to complete the set too...

I just paid around $50 for mine with a coupon too.
$69.99 before the discount!
