If Infact the above is a good deal, and anyone is interested to find this seller on ebay, please feel free to PM me for info.

It sounds like a very good price to me.

I'd say it was a good price compared to retail. I got my expressions on ebay for $170 and free shipping. The gypsy is an extra 100 bucks or so, retail, I think. Not a bad deal though.

That's an amazing deal!!!!

sounds like a great deal to me. I just paid 199 for a gypsy bundle through HSN don't have a cake but plan to use it with my regular cricut. And the gypsy bundle you describe sounds like the one that was on hsn for nearly 300 the other day.
