The demise of auctions? Gee, how sad. What's next, reasonable prices? ;)

I'd gladly close my auction's door for bulk ordering.  I doubt
anyone will have to, though, simply because I don't see them being
able to do bulk ordering to fit every single AFOL's needs or wants.

Still, it would be cool to be able to order 100/500/1000 of some
parts.  I bet rebursting would become common, or maybe group orders,
if there are high minimum orders.

I concur. do you think that TLG would go to the trouble to help the guy who
wants 1 old 4.5v train rubber ring?

(...) That's not bulk ordering. That's simply wanting to obtain a single part, a part which hasn't been manufactured for many years. Steve (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Sure they will. As long as you buy the other 99,999 that they need to offset the cost of rebuilding a tool that was probably scrapped many years ago :) Adrian -- (URL) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
