Jon,
Please do whatever it takes to keep Baylit alive.  Me and many others need
sites like yours, and there really aren't enough of them around.  Set a $25
minimum limit or something like that.  Your site is such a great resource, it
would be a shame to shut it down permanently.

(This hurts)
I'm reaching an impasse with BAYLIT.
My job situation will soon require me to travel extensively, severely impacting
my ability to run BAYLIT.
I don't know how long this will last  - could be awhile
Thus, I would appreciate your suggestions / thoughts.

Background information:
BAYLIT is: "Bricks As You Like Them"
BAYLIT is: A web site for straight sale of LEGO from sets.
BAYLIT has:
- a customer list of hundreds of buyers, about half of whom have ordered more
than once, including corporate buyers
- a current inventory of more than 175,000 pieces from over 1000 sets
- an acceptable web site with linked pictures/scans
http://baylit.home.att.net/
- a database linking sales, inventory, and parts to over 100 sets and over 3100
different part shape/color combinations.

Should I :
1) Slow it down - large orders only or some such
2) Shut it down (temporarily / permanently)
3) Sell it (send email if interested - prospectus?)
4) Sell off the inventory - auctions, fire sale, etc - Why keep parts I don't
need for my project - that someone else could be using.

Unfortunately this limits my current LEGO project as well (minifig scale
battleship).
But I'll finish that someday. - I still need to collect all the right parts ;-)

Thanks for your thoughts.
