He probably will regret it someday, but you know how teens have to have
their cars...
The good part for him is that he probably realized close to or over $2000
(he got over $1000 from me, $550 or so for sets he had already built and
separated, and $500 for the remainder [which was a REAL good price for what
is there]). Most of the sets he had built up he was selling for prices
comparable to auction prices, though a few were bargains (and a few were not
so good prices due to yellowing of parts or poor condition stickers). He
also still has (or had) a few hundred dollars more in separated sets which
he had not yet sold.
He certainly got a heck of a lot more for it than he would have had he sold
it to a used toy store, or to one of the non AFOL eBay LEGO sellers.
I don't know how aware he was of the online LEGO community, though he did
use Brickset scans where he didn't have the original instructions (and
somewhere I have a stack of diskettes with instructions he had downloaded).
He mentioned that he had sold stuff to people outside the area that he had
contacted on the internet, so he probably also used RTL.

| Well, I'm not so worried now. At least it sounds like he is informed. I would just hate to see him get ripped off and regret it later. -David (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
