I don't know what to think about such things. The fact the prices on bricklink
is high does not automatically mean they are actually *selling* any for those
prizes. But eBay. Those must be collectors bying and they are free to do what
they wish. Still, it would be nice if every set ever produced was availible at
low cost for all. That's never going to happen so I suppose we have to live
with the redicolus prices...
I will keep bying sets for parts thus I have a limit what I pay per piece and
most sets on full retail in toystores is too much for that treshold.

Probably not. But I still thank you for the information. It's keeps the good
spirit here @ Lugnet. As far as the resellers are concerned I suppose they
would have found out non-the-less.

That's what being a community is all about.
