This product was introduced about 20 years ago and uses steam technology (rather than just heat) to curl hair. The older sets require salt in the water-steaming unit. There are many varieties of these sets - a travel size, salon pro, and ionic versions. These are good sellers on eBay. I have found them at thrift stores for around $4-$5. I was lucky enough to find complete sets in the boxes. Used, but still in working condition. The retail price of the Richard Caruso Molecular Steam setter ranges from $24.99 to $37.99, depending on the size of the set. (Click here to see the retail prices.) These sets sell for between $25 and $30 on eBay.
Here are a few completed listings to check out. These are all for used sets that could be found at garage sales and thrift stores.

Hi Suzanne! These are GREAT sellers ~ recently I found a set, tested it and found the heating unit did not work. I ended up selling just the rollers and clips in a lot and STILL made great $$ on those. Just sayin' ...
OMG Suzanne! That is too funny, I just found a set of these at my Goodwill yesterday and had never heared of them before. They were $4.99 and were in the box with the instructions so I figured that I would give them a try. I am so glad that I picked them up now :)
Update to yesterday's post:
I listed the set that I had found with a BIN of $24.99 and they sold within less than 24 hours. Needless to say, I am doing the HAPPY DANCE :D
