There has been much discussion lately about the ordering of bulk parts. One
of the suggestions was to set up a mechanism to purchase currently available
sets in large quantities and then part them out.
While this solution does not solve all the problems AFOLs face (availability
of discontinued parts, etc), and it adds unnecessary labor to the process,
it is also the only currently viable solution.
As I first step towards somthing like this, I am proposing the purchase of
1,000 copies of set 4288, the currently available classic red bucket. In
order to gauge the market for the pieces in this bucket, I ask you to look
at the list of parts in the bucket below and respond to me with the quantity
of each part you would like, and the price you would pay per piece for that
quantity.
Q [] = Quantity you would purchase
P [] = Price you would pay EACH in this quantity
These are followed by a part description, Quantity per bucket, and Total
Quantity Available.

Information gathered will be used to determine if something like this is
viable. This is not an offer to sell these items! If it is determined that
this IS possible, a solicitation for orders will be sent out at that time.
Also, due to the cost of purchasing this quantity of sets, it may be
necessary to require payment in advance (I don't have $10,000 in my bank
account!). Please let me know what your views are on this. If you would be
willing to pay in advance, what it would take to get you to do so, etc.
Thanks for listening, and I hope to hear from you all!
(If anyone has a set that they feel would be better for something like this,
please feel free to let me know.)
