Just because a part is attainable from ebay or brickbay or any other source
does not make it "easily available". There are many "rare" and desirable
parts out there, for a price of course. Just because I have 3 Space
Cruisers or Istok has 10,000 classic windows doesn't make these items less
collectible or desirable.
And I do agree with some of the points on your original post. I'm finding
many Wild West and Pirate sets up on ebay going for what I think are very
nice prices (for the seller). These are sets I remember from as little as 3
years ago being on clearance at TRU and Caldor among others. As long as
there are people coming out of Dark Ages there will be a market and demand
for discontinued sets.
I'm stopping here. I think this is trailing off of the original intent. I
have a habit of doing that.
