Previously, I wrote this: (...) Today I bid on this: Lego #5192 CYPRESS TREES X6 SERVICE BAGS! Item # 1609955387 which closed at $109.50 USD. Why didn't I win this auction? Because that is WAY TOO MUCH @$$%!#@ MONEY to spend on such a thing, (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)

Okay Richard, someone has to say this, and I don't mind doing so because I know what a nice person you really are in spite of the reputation you try to cultivate here, so if you chew my head off I'll know it's because you are trying to (...)

(...) I think I was getting lazy there. I had decided that the person had bid something over $100 USD. And when I bid by proxy, I bid a little over what I would wish to pay -- so a decent proxy bid would be something like $100.99 or even more. It (...)

To everybody in the discussion: Do you want to know the scary thing about the trees? Over a 4 year period I bought a 140 service packs (1988-1992) from a mail order company in Denmark for about $2.50 a pack. I listed 8 single packs 4-6 month ago on (...)

When I reviewed the posts on cypress trees I saw that one of my auctions became a topic of discussion of whether OR not to spend outrageous amounts of money on an item that The Lego Company should have never dicontinued in the first (...)
