Price reduced. I will keep this listed for sale until end-of-day Sunday (January 19) and will then return it to my collection if there is no interest by that time. $139 (plus shipping) for 7 records averages to less than $20 per record (plus shipping). That sounds like a deal to me in today's hyperinflated vinyl market.
