OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!
I must share this with all of you!!!!!!!!!!
*tries to calm down*
I was reading this dream message when I thought "hmmn I've got a shell and
Esso sign in my collection from a Lego bag my mom bought me at Value
Village,
I wonder what they're from" So I go on pause, and to my utter suprise,
astonishment, and heart faliure I find out that I have the all the pieces to
sets #621 and 310 !!!!!!!!!! Including the pumps and Vehicles!!!!!
I wonder how much these would go for in auction......
Just wanted to tell you about that.

Well Erin, looks like your mom "done real good".

The Esso Sign and pumps, if in mint or near mint (must have the red • round "tops"
to the two end poles on the pump piece, and no breakage or missing signage on • the
tall sign.... they could command anywhere from $50-80 for one of each.  The • ESSO
truck would be about another $15-40 (depending on condition).  The ESSO 1x8
whitem beam would be another $5.  And the red garage door kit would be another
$10-20.   Your best bet probably would be (if the pieces are in great • condition)
to sell it on EBAY as a set 310 with no box or instructions.   The Shell set • (not
a Gas Station) would sell for considerably less.  Besides coming in a 310 set,
the ESSO Station also came as part of the Town Plan set (725 in USA/Canada in
1961-65, 810 in Europe in the 1960's, 700K in Europe in the 1950's).  Perhaps • you
have the Town Plan and don't realize it!

Well I looked around and found a city like board/baseplate....I may have it
after all!
But I am not going to sell it *hears people gasping* I just hate auctions and
besides the pieces are useful in my collection...maybe in the future....
