I forgot to mention the RCX Remote control http://guide.lugnet.com/set/9738. It

I've not been here on Lugnet for a long time, so please bear with me if I
violate the Netiquette...
The Mindstorms EV3 is hitting the shelves around these days, and I am thinking
about getting the set. My son (now 10y) had a 'robots for kids' holiday camp
last week, where he learned programming the NXT.
So I am thinking about selling my old Mindstorms RCX brick and some RCX-specific
parts. But I don't know what I can ask for it. I don't want to make profit, but
if I can get a little boost for the purchasing price of the EV3, it would be
nice. :-)
Included will be:
- RCX 1.0 (s/n 020439. Not used very much :-(. Very good condition)
- IR-Tower and Serial cable
- 1x Light sensor (cable is getting grey and may be detoriating after the years)
- 2x Touch sensors
I will keep the rest: the motors can also be used together with my older motors,
and the cables must be replaced anyway, I think. But if someone is in desperate
need of one or both of the motors, I will think about it. I don't know where the
CD is... :-)
So, what would be a fair price to ask? Shipping from Austria, EU.
Thanks in advance,
Ardjan

Many folks have seen old LEGO sets a Garage Sales or Flea Markets, or as they
say in Britain, at Car Boot Sales (where they sell items from the back of the
car or truck).
But you may have hesitated because you had no clue as to the value of the item
you were buying??
Well my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide (2800 pages with 6000
images), has 2 sections at the back of the 73 chapter collectors guide... one is
a 400 page price guide on LEGO sets 1949-1980 in Dollars, the other is the same
guide in Euros. And each of these guides has 10,156 prices listed for thousands
of sets in VG, EX, MIB and MISB condition.
The LEGO DVD/download can be downloaded to your computer Desktop, and also to
your i-Pad and i-Phone... (3 for the price of 1)... so you can have the price
reference at your fingertips at gagage sales (et al) if you have a mobile
device...
Just key in the chapter on either Euro or Dollar prices... and do a find on
#xxxx (where xxxx = set number). This command can be repeated for those LEGO
set numbers that are reused for more than one set... until you find the
descriptions and condition (VG, EX, MIB, MISB) prices you want to compare the
item you are contemplating purchasing against...
Although the price guides are only in Dollars and Euros... this can be easily
used for British Pound's as well... just take the Dollar price list... find the
item in dollars... and take 2/3 of the price to determine GBP ($1.00 = 0.65 GBP
right now!).
Here is a small example of the pricelist (and explanation) using just the
Homemaker sets of 1971-82...
http://www.youblisher.com/p/666171-Sample-DVD-Download-Price-Guide/
Very nicely formatted and easy to understand.
For those who own my old LEGO CD (that doesn't have this pricelist)... drop me
an EMAIL (istokg@earthlink.net) and we can haggle out a very reasonable price as
a repeat customer... ;)
Cheers,
Gary Istok

For those of you who have my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide as
DVD/download... if you only have it on your PC/MAC, but not elsewhere.... it is
also available for your i-Phones and i-Pads. If you can't download it, send me
an EMAIL for another download (istokg@earthlink.net).
Also the amount of additional information for the next (free to current
owners)... of the next download version (with extra chapters, nearly 500
additional images, and over 200 extra pages... bringing the new grand total to
over 3000 pages!
Also, for those of you that have my very old (4-6 years old) CDs.... which only
have a fraction of the current DVD/download... send me an EMAIL... and we can
"haggle" over you getting an upgrade... ;)
Also, in case you haven't read... there is still soooooo much about LEGO that is
still undiscovered that I am doing my Sherlock Holmes to investigate!
http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=56105
Future upgrades for the DVD/download are free! And I can see that being a
multi-year process, the way new information keeps cropping up... much of it NOT
from the folks at the LEGO Archives/Collections... but still a lot that is from
them... since I have access to archival information!
Cheers,
Gary Istok
P.S. Like I said... if you have a very old copy of my CD... it's only 1/3 of
what I have (information wise) now!!

Well someone just asked me what "hundreds" of additional sets I have in my
Collectors Guide that are not in the online databases??
Well here's 80 sets right here in the sneak preview chapter on 90 wooden box
sets. Wooden boxed sets are the most difficult to collect of all LEGO sets.
The set number was (almost) never on the box, but mostly in the paper Contents
List... the first thing that always got lost...
http://www.youblisher.com/p/611594-LEGO-DVD-Download-Chapter-14-Wooden-Box-LEGO-Sets-1950-80/
And then there's the 238 Building Idea Books... only about 3 or 4 entries in
online database... but theres almost 30... in 12 different booklets, covering 10
different languages.
And then there's the 700/x sets... over 100 right there alone... most of which
are undocumented.
And the 214 Windows/Doors parts... 78 right there alone.
And also the different box designs in some sets... 8 different in the 236 Garage
set... 3 different in the 150 and 151 blue train track sets, 3 different in the
325 Shell Station, 8 different in the 310 Esso Station... and so on...
Cheers,
Gary Istok

The announcement was made on June 6, 2013 on BrickLink.com
Statements made both Eliska Jezkova Mother of Daniel Jezek and Jung-Ju “Jay” Kim
the new owner of BrickLink.com
From BrickLink website:
To the BrickLink Community:
About a week ago I posted a special message to thank all of you for supporting
us over the nearly three years since my son Dan died. I thank all those who sent
personal messages to me about what BrickLink has meant to them. In my message, I
mentioned some progress we made, and also the challenges we faced. Good news
remaining is that, despite the challenges, business has been brisk and even
impressive. When I took over the website in the name of my son, the
representational visitor log (front page of BrickLink) was at about 50 million
visitors. Today, it is at nearly 144 million visitors and counting. Nearly
two-thirds of all those who visited BrickLink over the 13 years since its
inception have arrived here in the short time we’ve run BrickLink.com. Also,
we’ve partnered with security experts and have been able to make the website
safer than it has ever been. I’m proud of these facts and I again thank all of
you for your patience in sticking with us to this day.
But it’s a new era, and much needs to be done to bring BrickLink to a higher
level and to become the site whose potential all of you see and we want to reach
as well.
Thus, I am announcing that I am stepping down as CEO of BrickLink and have
handed the website over to the committed and competent hands of a new owner,
Jung-Ju “Jay” Kim, founder of Nexon, one of the world’s largest online game
companies.
I completely endorse Jay to take the reins of BrickLink. He has the knowledge,
resources and capabilities needed for the job. He has a passion, not just for
all things LEGO, but also for BrickLink. Like most of you, he has been a member
of the community for years. He has tremendous respect for what Dan accomplished
while he was alive. He also has a compelling desire to carry forward Dan’s
vision and his guiding principles that were laid down more than a decade ago.
Jay and his team are ready to work toward “BrickLink 2.0”, as well as continuing
hardware architecture and application upgrades.
It’s a bright future for BrickLink, and I intend to be a part of it along with
the rest of the BrickLink Community. Larry and I will be staying on in an
advisory-consulting role to the new owners. Eric Smith will be staying on as
Admin to ensure a smooth, seamless transition with minimal interruption.
Part of that transition will include relocation of the BrickLink site to a
different data center. Later today you will learn more about that server
relocation and the migration schedule, which has been carefully designed to
minimize downtime.
It’s been a great three years. I did my best and I am sorry that the hacking
incidents waylaid us from doing more, earlier. I am proud of the amazing growth
of BrickLink, thanks to all of you.
As hard as it was to give up our treasured BrickLink that Dan loved so much, I
felt it was the right thing to do, not for me, but for the Community. And, as
always, it is that worldwide community that matters to me most, just as it
mattered to Dan. That is why I am passing the torch to new leadership. It is
what Dan would have wanted me to do.
As I mentioned, I will remain on with BrickLink and will act as an ambassador
and link to BrickLink’s lineal past. Please feel free to contact me any time at
eliska@bricklink.com. I still want to hear from you.
Thank you and let’s all look forward to tomorrow.
Best regards,
Eliska Jezkova, former CEO of BrickLink.com
Message from Jung-Ju “Jay” Kim, founder of the online game company Nexon,
incoming owner of BrickLink.com:
(As of June 5th, the Hong Kong-based company Bricklink Limited has acquired the
assets of BrickLink.com. Bricklink Limited is a subsidiary of NXMH.)
Dear BrickLink Community,
I am extremely pleased to be taking over the operations of BrickLink.com. I’ve
been a LEGO fan for 40 years and an avid user of BrickLink.com for over a
decade. My first plans are to upgrade the website, and do our best to make users
happier and more prosperous, while staying true to the original vision of
BrickLink.com founder, Daniel Jezek. We will work hard in order to ensure that
BrickLink.com becomes stable, secure and as user-friendly as possible.
I want to sincerely thank the family of Daniel Jezek, especially his mother
Eliska, as well as the BrickLink.com Community, for the opportunity to upgrade
and operate such a beloved website as BrickLink.com. In order to expedite the
process of renovating BrickLink.com, I and Bricklink Limited will be asking
users to e-mail us with their ideas for the improved functionality of the site,
as well as any current issues that need to be addressed in order to provide
users with the best possible selling and buying experience. We’ll establish
those lines of communication very soon.
Thank you for your continued patronage and support of BrickLink.com
Jung-Ju Kim, incoming owner of BrickLink.com

One of the larger of the 73 chapters in my LEGO DVD/download is the chapter on
Magazine Ads. They go back to 1953... and as current as 1999.
Some of the old ads were given to me by my friend Henk from the Netherlands, who
collects old ads and old Glued Display Models...
Some of the nicer images from the DVD/download...
http://www.1000steine.de/de/gemeinschaft/forum/?entry=1&id=30532#id30532
... which can still be gotten as a download (no shipping/customs)...
http://legocollectorsguide.weebly.com/
Cheers,
Gary Istok
P.S. Updated edition (free for current purchasers) will be released in a few
months... including several new chapters...

|

There are a lot of folks out there that bought my LEGO CD many years ago. The
new DVD download (which can now be an E-Book on your computer desktop)... has
over 3 times the information than the old CD had. Plus the best part is that
free upgrades with additional chapters and additional rare old and new sets get
added at about 6 month intervals for downloading for free.
If you own an old (very dated copy) CD... Email me for an upgrade quote... you
would be surprised at how affordable it can be! :) I can be Emailed at...
istokg@earthlink.net
With 78 chapters all ready for the next version... all future upgrades will be
free. Even the LEGO Archives in Billund are amazed at all the stuff that is
still being discovered!
Cheers,
Gary Istok
