Maybe I will offer it only to those folks who buy my Lego History/Price List
Another service I was thinking about offering was what I call the LEGO
equivalent of "Hamburger Helper" (a USA/Canada food product that requires only
hamburger beef be added to make a full meal).  I would sell partial old sets
(parts only, from my own rare parts inventory), but only the rare items that
people cannot find on Bricklink (or cannot find in decent quantities).

Examples:  the old Model Builder sets of the mid 70's.  I have the rare parts
for building #396 Thatcher Perkins, #390 1913 Cadillac, #391 1926 Renault, and
#395 1909 Rolls Royce.  I have the large (red and white) and small (red) spoked
wheels, black axle bricks, rod/piston train works, 1x1x1 yellow classic windows,
2x2 outside corner blue slopes, etc.  I probably have rare spare parts for about
40 (total) of these sets.
Most pieces would be near mint to mint.
Thanks,

I think this is an excellent idea, but for every person who needs all the rare
parts surely there are more who, like me, have the set but have lost only one or
two of those parts.  I have been looking on and off for several years for the
black old style wheel for my Thatcher Perkins and they never come up on
Bricklink.  Would you be able to offer a pick an mix or would it have to be all
the rare parts?
