 | | Huge lots?
|
| What constitutes a "huge" lot? I just looked at a so-called "huge lot of LEGO fences" that included 8 pieces. To me, and I may be way out of line here, a "huge lot" indicates more than a small handful of bricks. Is there a consensus, or do you (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Huge is in the eye of the beholder. To some people, their collection of 2000 pieces is huge, because they've never seen bigger. My collection would seem huge to 90% of the world's population, but it is absolutely dwarfed by many people on (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) If a piece was particularly rare, a smaller group of pieces might be a "huge" lot. For example, if someone assembled and sold a lot of 30 grey inverse half arches, and called it a "huge" lot, I wouldn't argue. eric (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) I can accept that in principle, but 8 pieces will never seem like a huge lot to me! (...) Hmm.. I wonder if it might be more effective simply to say "30 grey inverse half arches," since 30 is a definite figure, and to those willing to shell (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) As an aside, I once did a search on "rare" on ebay once. Almost 1/2 of their listings had the word "rare" in them. Over 1/3 were rare! (or rare!!, or rare-with-even-more-!s) that day. I wonder where people auction the not-so-rare Lego? I can't (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) I think the word "huge" is a very relative term when applied to eBay. I have been searching lots for quite a while now, and have often been brought up short with the "huge lot of pieces" finding the lot has 15 pieces. Here are some (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) There was a lot up about a month ago, the title was something like "A bunch of legos" so I looked. THere were a couple of pics of legos dumped into a pile on the floor, and there in the top of one of the pictures all the way in the back was a (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) You forgot "It looks complete."-I dumped out the pieces and there are a bunch, they all look like whatever is in the picture on the instructions. At flea markets I get a lot of "It's from the 70's!" when I look at some stuff. Yup, I wore (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Well, a lot of 8 "chip 'n dip" baseplates (the raised baseplate from the Belville Fairy Castle - see lugnet.castle...) would be a "huge" lot in my book. (...) Most often terms like "rare" or "huge" key one into a seller who is not a fan. Frank (24 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)
