I always find myself looking at E-Bay, Brickbay, Lugnet, and other sites
when I have some spare cash to spend on Legos..  And at the same time, when
I do find something, I want to know I am getting a good deal.  So -- I
whipped up a handy web page to help solve my problems.

It searchs for both parts or sets across the three most common sites - E-Bay
(current and complete), Brickbay, and Lugnet (for reference purposes).
Check it out at:

http://www.reversepolarity.com/lego/srcframeset.htm

A word on usage - just type the set number or keyword, as the E-bay search
automatically pre-pends "lego" to the query.

I also added a little calculator to figure out a price per part ratio (and
will be expanding it to also work in reverse)

One last thing - this page does use frames and I recommend at least 800x600
or better.  Also, please use the search results as reference only -- bid or
buy directly from the main pages of each site -- you'll find it easier anyway.

Thanks,

Scott

(...) Uhh, please don't put LUGNET pages in frames. They weren't designed to work inside of frames. Did you get permission to put the other sites' pages into frames? Most places don't like that. --Todd (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

It may work for Daan, but only the top left panel populates with information, and I get this javascript error whien I tried to search for 3313 by clicking the SETS button....
