Earlier, I posted a message where I estimated about 475K pieces. The more I
think about this (and reread the specific wording of the auction), I wonder if I
overestimated. If that 'over a ton' includes the weight of the containers, then
I would chop my piece estimate severly.

Most of the hype and runup to bidding for this auction seem to focus on the
quantity and the scarcity of the lot. There appears to be a number of old

Some older sets are visible. There is almost assuradly a large amount of work
sorting whatever is here.

The seller obviously knows that lugnet exists (he is using lugnet links for his
set list). It would be nice/helpful if the seller joined this discussion to
answer any/all questions concerning this auction. If it is indeed a ton of legos
and over a million pieces, it would be in his best interest to inform the
maximum number of bidders.

(...) I agree. Just wanted to gauge other timetables concerning this. I think if done correctly this shouldn't hurt the market. (...) Just out of curiousity. Haven't seen any posts recently about any get togethers and haven't had the chance to bug (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.org.us.gardenslug)
