Thanks again for the new info, Jeff!

(a couple questions below, BTW)

(Todd, some of the prices I have listed here are different from what
you have in Pause.  I don't know why, so you can use whichever you think
should be there.)

The price differences are due to "aging" of the products.  For example,
you found a baseplate which sold for ~$6.75 in 1986, and then later for
$8.00, and then even later for $11.00.  The price field in the DB tracks
the original MSRP, so the lowest known number is the one that goes in.

In a couple cases where it was known that an accessory pack came out at
least as early as 1982, but where you had a 1986 price, I left the price
still as "?" because the 1986 price is too far "wrong" at that point.  On
closer years like 1985, I typically put in the 1986 price and put a "?"
after it.  A better solution someday would be to track a price for each
year, or at least to be able to note which year or catalog a given price
came from.

Say, do you remember which type of Trains this is?  (I don't want to hazard
a guess, so I put it in as Accessories/Trains for now.  With the new train
organization from Joshua, it should really be listed as Xv Trains/Accessory
Elements, where X is the voltage.)

(...) For this one, it's gotta be 4.5v trains, so I've fixed it. (9v and 12v are transformer based). -- joshua (25 years ago, 31-May-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Don't forget when S@H "removed" shipping & handling they upped their prices by 10%. Wierd thing is, I knew about this when I posted. I can't understand why I said I didn't know why. Oh, well.
