Well Radikals are $350 a set, GOG trucks are ?$400? depending upon Euro exchange.
I'm not sure, but there are something like 75 sets of PVD's ever made over three revisions.

They are perhaps the best rear traction truck. They seem complicated at first, but when you realize that you are changing plates instead of rubber wedges, it gets a little simpler.
I have set up mine once and only tightened or loosened them like you would on a regular trucks.

Depending upon the release of the set and what accesories, they have sold in the past year for between $500 and $750.
