 | | Added all the Minifigs from 7150 to E-Bay & Updated Parts Auction (7150 & 7171)
|
|
To All; I have posted several parts lots to E-Bay for my roommate Tony. He has a few extra sets he wants to sell off, so he wants to post all the parts on E-bay of the 7171 Mos Espa Podrace. Since he does not have access to a credit card, I get to (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

I'm with you. These are auctions. However, the powers that be have already ruled that single round sealed bid auctions are OK for b-s-t. Sorry, all my shrubbery is in use at the moment. (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.theory)
