100$ is dirt-cheap for a LEGO building!

Urg.  Now I'm depressed.  :-P

If you want to save money, then buy up sets at 50% discount.  You can often
target sets with high proportions of parts you want, and then trade the rest
for MORE parts you want.  This is much cheaper than buying each part at
auction!

Does anyone have any advice as to which sets are more cost-efficient for raw
building-building materials?  Like, I wanna build a building with lotsa gray
1xN bricks, some windows, a decent roof (i.e. 6xN plates, etc.), some arches
and other architectural pieces.  I think I have enough doors...

As far as I know there is no real cost efficient way to acquire large quantities
of 1xN grey bricks.  I plan on tackling my first large building in white since
it is more readily available in brick buckets.
