it was bad enough when this seller was selling onesies twosies on eBay... but
200 copies? at 200 each? With no mention that you can just ring up S@H and get
it yourself? Not very community friendly.

Dear LEGO,

If you want us to respect the capacity constraints you placed on this set and
not try to circumvent them, please make sure that this seller is either an
authorised reseller of yours (and let us know that to avoid confusion) or
enforce the capacity controls against them as well.

200 copies is a bit much to stomach when you singled out Troy (who, by the way,
only buys stuff when it's on clearance or when you yourself are willing to sell
it to him in large quantities) the way you did in your announcement post. You're
fingering the wrong leech, er, person.

Figure out the delivery addresses he's using and shut him down, that would be my
advice.

While it's true that some feel it's the duty of sellers to separate suckers from
their money, I'd prefer you not enabling that.

Thanks.


YES! Spotlighted!

What this person doing is horrible. It is amazing what greed can do to a person.
How did Lego let this happen? I can see getting 15 or so with little or no
problem, but OVER 100 of these things? C'mon now guys... lets have some control
over your inventory. If you say there is a limit of 5 then even if a seller can
get around that - having the RESPECT for Lego and having the RESPECT to let
other people getting them (without having the seller RIP THEM OFF) should be
there.... guess we are seeing the true side of this person.

(...) Yeah I get a bit of a disgusted reaction reading about this. I don't have much of a problem if you wish to get a large quantity (10+), for your own personal use. But getting a huge quantity, with the sole intention of taking advantage of other (...) (20 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
