hi, if i may add, i definitely would suggest buying through ebay rather than
bricklink. i was able to find many 6285’s and 6274’s for reasonable prices.
the trick is to just be patient. over the months i made purchases, i bought 5
BSB’s and 4 CC’s for fair prices. if you are willing to look around, and sift
through the stuff you dont want, you can find ones that are not quite
complete, but almost, or partial, that go for FAR less than complete ones. it
have a hard time spending $120 on BSB when i got all mine for $80 or less,
with box to boot. here’s how i searched: “6285” and “6274” in the general
search, “barracuda” and “clipper” in the lego catagory, “pirate ship”,
“pirate”, and “pirates” in the lego catagory. i know it’s alot of searches,
but i have seen some ships not listed very well go for atrotiously low prices.
(BSB for $36.00!!!!!! cant believe i didnt bid!) anyway, be patient, and be
willing to search, and good things will come to you. :-)

This is sound advice. I recall a seller who consistently mispelled ‘pirate’ as
‘priate’... I picked up a few bits and pieces ;-)
If you’re building ships, you don’t need complete sets... if you’ve got the hull
pieces, masts and ratlines, it doesn’t really matter about the treasure chest,
parrot and treasure map that have gone missing.
