I guess I know the answer to this one, but....
I am visiting Weston Super Mare this weekend where there is a trader who I
know sells "1/2 price" lego. (i have posted a couple of messages regarding him
before)
He does put the retail up a bit first, but they are still cheap (its all legit
as far as I can tell, he buys them from a cash and carry and applies a small
markup)
e.g. my parents went last week and picked up a 8001 for £14, and a Slave 1 for
£10.
I have bought all the star wars sets from him at these types of prices over
the last year. He always tends to have star wars as it is popular.
If I just buy everything he has in the 2000 range, can I assume that there
will be willing takers at these prices at the next lego fest if I bring it
along?
He doesnt tend to have tons of the stuff, just 2 or 3 of each set. He doesnt
carry larger sets either
It might be raining too, in which case he wont be there, so cant promise
anything.
Just trying to get a sense of the demand

Just wanted to add that I saw the 'insectoids' thread after I posted this (I
have been away all week)
SO I though I would just clarify that
1. I will pass these on at whatever I pay - no profit to me
2. I will only pass them to attendees at the next UK legofest. Theres no point
getting into posting this stuff, else it wipes out the saving on these small
sets
So I think that qualifies under the rules.

Some of you emailed me direct I know but thought I would broadcast a reply.
It was a disappointing haul this week I am afraid. Not cause he didnt have
anything but cause someone beat me to it!
I got there around 9.30am and he said that someone had come early and bought
nearly everything he had that day. (perhaps they read my post!)
All that were left was a 8001 (£13.50) which I bought for myself, plus some
discontinued sets that are available half price in Entertainer anyway.
However, my parents now go to this place every week and he will be getting
more in. so hopefully by the time of the legofest on 11th march I will have
some items.
