I'm also looking to fill out my set of MKII. If Chris doesn't need the sizes you have, I'll stand next in line. I have 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 2. I'm interested in 1/8, 3/8, and 1.5.

The idea is to gain storage space. We have limited closets but 9.5' ceilings. So I'm building shelves for the area where the dryer was and getting a dryer to stack onto the washer.
