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 'daffynitions' for terms used by sellers - I'm sure more can be added ;-).
Huge - all that could be found
Rare - found only one
Old - forgot where it came from
Vintage - anything from the 90's back (starting at '99)
Tons - at least a pound
Bulk - more than 6
Too many to count - more than 101
MIB - the box was found
Unopened MISB - can you say 'redundant'
Complete - according to the instructions found on Brickshelf (which aren't
included, neither are the stickers)
LEGO - anything resembling however remotely, and sometimes not even
remotely, the best building toy in the world - I'm constantly amazed at just
how much stuff LEGO has produced ;-).
