(...) Simple. Sell those Darth Mauls on E-bay and whoever is doing the parting makes a tidy profit. He and Vader are very popular figs. And just give out a Luke or two free with each purchase. Adrian -- (URL) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Well, how many people would like to see a SW parts store? I have the capital(SP?), and if there enough people willing to buy the parts (I might go straight sale over auction), I would consider doing it. I am pretty good at sorting, after all. Scott (...)

(...) I'd be up for fairly large quanties of several parts in the SW sets at the right price. Tiles and macaroni bricks for sure. My willing-to-pay price might be lower than some (I'm sure of it) but for popular parts like that it wouldn't matter. (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I would put in a straight percentage of profit, and the cost of the set. Hmmm... Scott S. (...) Scott (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I think that you will find that having one set price for all of the pieces in a set will not work very well. Some pieces will not sell, and you'll lose money on some pieces that would have sold for more. For example: Mini-figs mostly went for (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
