(...) In one day? Only about $400. Unless you count when I spent about $600 on ebay auctions in one day-- I just didn't WIN them all that day, so it was kinda spread out more :) As for the most expensive set? Only about $150, I think-- for a 6067 (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Well, he did say "spent in one day", so I'd think that $600 counts. Other than the $1200 order for Mario, I'm thinking the most I've done in one day is about $600, but I'd have to dig through my receipts. (...) Hmm, most expensive set? (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Oh gosh no. Just checking Ebay for semi-recent sales reveals someone bought a 6067 (Guarded Inn) MISB for $232.50, a 6075 (yellow castle) for $207.50, a 6081 for $155.50, and an MISB 6090 for $152.50 :) And I seem to remember an MISB 6086 (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

Searches for "6086" "lego castle" "black knights castle" "dungeon masters" all came up nada for the one you're describing... But yeah, it's certainly not unheard (...)

I dunno about you guys, but I am truly an addict. Last week, my girlfriend pointed out that I spend $1-2K on Lego per month and I thought I had really curbed my appetite for the stuff. Back when you could find more older sets, there were days I'd (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Doh! My brain boggled at 6086 going for over $200 (I got mine recently for $66) and apparently flipped its switch to a more logical candidate - 6*2*86, Skull's Eye Schooner, which I've seen go over $300 on numerous occasions. Bruce (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

(...) You just need to be patient and sharp eyed. I got a 6086 for I think like $90 or so. I also got a mixed bag of stuff with much of a 6086, a 6277 cutter (complete), and some other castle and pirate bits for $90 or so. The 6086 I got even came (...)
