  Re: LARGEST LEGO LOT ON EBAY EVER!! (???)
 
Holy freakin' cow! That would be SWEET but I just spent $10,000 on Lego LAST week, so I can't afford this one. Maybe next time. Ok, but if everyone here on LUGNET pools there money... ;-) -Adam (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

My jaw is STILL on the floor! I spent about $200 in the last month, and I *thought* that was alot!! (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

Ack! That is indeed a whole friggin' mess of LEGO! (...) I think that unless he breaks it up, nobody's going to fork over the amount he's hoping for. It requires too much free cash in one place--maybe before the dot-com crash someone might have (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Possibly, possibly not. I did some quick calculations. A month or so back, I posted the results of my 'how many 2x4 bricks are in a pound' experiment. My answer was 202-203 (or 101/8-oz to be precise). 2x4 bricks are, at least to me, a (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) I don't know--your mass/pieces reckoning is fine by me, but you're far undervaluing the market value of the pieces, IMHO. $0.10 is a good rule of thumb buying them at MSRP; even then, we'd be talking $47,500. But my experience of selling parts (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) The auction listing mentions that he may be willing to take the hi-bid if the reserve is not met. <trying to remember the rules of ebay proxy biddy> Does the proxy bidding of your high-bid only apply *after* you pass the reserve ? In other (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) It doesn't quite work that way. Proxy bidding works the same way even before the reserve is met. (23 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) All that and no train stuff? You've GOT to come by the show so we can get you hooked on LEGO trains... :-) SRC StRuCtures (23 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
 
  Re: LARGEST LEGO LOT ON EBAY EVER!! (???)
 
(...) Trust me, Adam; you can be safe in going to the train show and not getting hooked on trains. I went to the GETS show here in Edmonton, played with the trains, built a bit of scenery, talked to lots of people, etc. And didn't get hooked on (...)

  Re: LARGEST LEGO LOT ON EBAY EVER!! (???)
 
(...) Heh... Yeah, Adam... LEGO trains are perfectly safe. No side effects, and all your friends have them. The first one's free... Well, ok, the first one's expensive, but by the time you're totally hooked, it seems so cheap it might as well have (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

When I posted that last message, I didn't think anyone would take it seriously, so I didn't bother in putting a winking face after it. I did not spend $10,000 on Lego last week...it was only $9500. ;-) Seriously, maybe if you added up all my (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)
