Hey Y'all:

Check out eBay auction #526012994. LEGO 6987 MESSAGE-INTERCEPT BASE
(UNOPENED) -- that is MISB.  Perfect shape.  I just recieved it today, it's
my second MISB copy of this set.  With shipping it came to approx $130 USD.
That's 562 elements at approx. $0.23 for each element.

Check out page 30 of the January 2001 S@H catalogue.  1x8 Brick 25 piece bag
for $5.99 USD.  That's almost $0.24 for each element.

What would you do?

PS Thanks, Michael Kaban! Another dealer who is very solid on his deals.
