dramatic results.
I don't envy that person's job; still it should not be a job that goes
unchecked.
I'm sure that all of us (TLG included) would see more sales with prices that
were set more accurately, or just more often, so the sticker shock isn't as bad.
On the bright side, we can still pick up minifig pieces far cheaper than from
any seller on BrickLink.
