    Huge lots? —Dave Schuler
   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)
   
        Re: Huge lots? —Adrian Drake
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: Huge lots? —John D. Forinash
     (...) 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)

     (...) 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)

     (...) I sometimes feel like I have a nose for this kind of deal. I can't tell you how many cool things I've acquired by looking at these types of lots. Frank (24 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Huge lots? —Eric Joslin
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: Huge lots? —Dave Schuler
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: Huge lots? —Frank Filz
      (...) 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)
     
          Re: Huge lots? —Frank Filz
      (...) Hmm, just looked at a lot with "rare" horses. Yup, two white ones and a brown one. Frank (24 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

        Re: Huge lots? —Wayne R. Hussey
   (...) 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)
   
        Re: Huge lots? —William Brumbach
     (...) 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)
