Here's the concept.   Take a warehouse and install a sorting machine there,
one that can sort by weight, size, and color.  Match it with a piece
database and fuzzy matching software.  What you end up with is this:  You
dump a bunch of pieces into the hopper.  The machine then sorts each
individual piece out, counts it, individually bags it, and labels each bag
with the count and parts database ref number.  All you'd do is ship your
container of loose lego (we would even process unopened sets for you) and
we'd send you a box of sorted, labelled lego bags.

Could I just have purchases drop shipped to you, then? :-)

Sure.  You may not like my fees, though ;)

(...) Well if you want to make a go of this you need to give the early adopters who do large quantities some sort of a break, you know... Got any VCs lined up yet? (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.general)
