I think this is a GREAT idea. And it would make up to the locals some of the
raw deal I think they're currently getting (between not taking phone orders and
not shipping to locals) at the outlets.
I read your other post and I feel your pain. Not sure I 100% agree with
everything you said about the situation but you did post some rare sets
(however I would point out what I have always said, when you see something in a
store that you personally might want, buy it... don't post it and come back
later, that is the sure way to get disappointed.
If there is a particular set (or sets) in the list of sets that were direct
sold, and I got more than one of it, it's yours for my cost. Because you're
right, up to a point. You did perform a valuable service and (while I feel it's
your own fault for not buying what you wanted right then and there) you got a
disappointment handed to you.

There are little play table for kids (and a few adults as well) with big tubs of parts in the middle (Are these at the LIC's too?). I was building my daughter a car to go (...)
