For me I don't see it being much of a problem, only very rarely am I bidding on duplicates of an item in an attempt to get one of them, and when I do this, unless the items are close in time, I usually (...)

We use 1/8" thick plexi on the side of our layouts. It has several benefits. -Keeps straying fingers away from the layout. -Helps keep pieces from 'wandering' away. -Keeps the trains, when they derail, from going on the floor. -People can still get (...)

I think the problem is here that Lego have contradicted themselves with their scaling in certain models.
