(...) 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 was thinking of getting a few sets of each SW (Maybe 4) (On clearance) and then parting them out for it. The part costs would not be that high. 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)

Base on the responses I have received, I think I am going to buy a few sets at first, and see how it goes. If successful enough, I will continue to do so and start expanding into other sets. I will have to figure out a decent way of better doing (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I recently did this, purchasing the sets at AMES when they had their buy one, get one half price sale. It went quite well. I am planning on doing it again the next time there is a sale ;) Also, discussion had leaned towards buying a larger ammount (...) (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)
