(...) Well, some special items in very limited supply has from time to time suddenly been available at PAB in Legoland Billund. And if you come there often enough, not many other AFOL's might get to know about it, before it is too late. Martin (20 years ago, 24-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

The last time I check this set (10152) is bid to $510 on Sunday, May 23rd. And guess what the seller is the ninjaprincess. I think she is going to make a killing on these 200 sets. See for yourself. You may need to copy the whole thing in your web (...) (20 years ago, 24-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) 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. (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) 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 (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I agree with both of you. So far the only uses for this helmet (in either size) I've been able to come up with that aren't directly related to Darth, or some closely related thing like SpaceBalls, aren't really suitable for a family forum, or (...)

(...) You know, I get tired of hearing how we live in a capitalistic world. We don't. Not hardly. (if you disagree, take it to off-topic.debate). But even so, this particular seller isn't (apparently) demonstrating much capitalism. LEGO placed a (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

There is a scale of reusability, and some parts have a very low reusability score. Orion's point is that there are (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
