(...) Agreed. (...) Hear Hear! This is one area where we LIKE what TLG has done, please please PLEASE let's not upset the apple cart. Those euro sellers need to be gone after or they're going to wreck it for all of us. (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

I agree with you but I would hasten to point out that we nevertheless should help protect the brand if we can. TLG may well throw the baby out with the bathwater and come after Kev in a misguided attempt to shut others down. We know well that there (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

TLG, by going to a central place, could if it wished, improve the quality of scans that are poor by, for example, supplying better ones, or supplying actual instructions for a volunteer to scan.

(...) You see a lot that has some stuff you want, but maybe you don't want all of it, so you contact the winning bidder (either before or after) to see if he wants to split up the lot with you. If he responds, you're all set. If he doesn't, outbid (...) (25 years ago, 30-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
