Dear LEGO / 4781

Re: Weekly Update of New AuctionBrick Items —Jimmy Park
AFAIK, this seller, NinjaPrincess, is a woman who deals with bulk bought Lego which she sorts and resells. I vaguely recall her having bought some 20,000 copies of Final Duel IIs for $1 each for resale from some clearance/wholesale group. (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

	(...) Maybe they've picked them up through Pick-A-Brick or tent sales? The one store listing massive quantities of the Gryffindor shield is in Denmark, and they might have liquidated their leftover stock of light-grey when they switched over to (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

		(...) 1. I thought about the PAB. If it were PAB, then we would all know about it and a whole lot of other AFOLs would be doing the same thing. 2. Tent sales would probably mean that they would have to buy whole sets and there's no evidence of them (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

			(...) I can't speak for the individual case cos I don't know, but I do know certain things like shileds have turned up at PaB. I do know someone who found stormtroopers in the PaB and brought them all. Could be an answer. (21 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

	Re: Weekly Update of New AuctionBrick Items —Thomas Garrison
	(...) How about the value of making the market more efficient? Suppose that person A is willing to pay $20 for a set and person B is willing to pay $40 for a set[1]. Perhaps A is lucky[2] and finds the set for $20, but that outcome does not maximize (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.market.theory)

	(...) I have bought from her a couple of times and have been very happy. I see nothing wrong with what she is doing: 1. Nobody is being forced to buy her stock. 2. She has not bought up the whole stock (as others have with other sets). Scott A (21 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
