I guess my concern was more accurately referring to LD possibly doing the
speculated limited parts runs...I didn't mean to disparage you as a power
seller...i know your reputation is flawless..your market analysis is more
logical (in retrospect than mine)...
idle ramblings from my insomnia rattled mind today...lol
I suppose it may be possible to initially cause back order issues if a
person ordered huge amounts before the manufacturing process caught
up...then again if there was an increase in production and a drop in
demand...Lego might have to discount...so I guess my reasoning is flawed
again...
In the long term sense, a larger offering of valued elements just may bring
alot of part values down while maybe not even effecting older set values
(maybe even increase them if a person was to try to construct an 8480 from
LD packs...)
I guess i'll just keep selling off my old stuff to purchase new stuff in the
future = )
(heck i'll have to become a powerseller to get rid of unused bits and buy
new stuff)
