With the ability to purchase many of a single element directly from TLG in
the not-to-distant future, I had the idea of developing an on-line database
to track demand for an individual element.
My initial idea was to simply take online requests based on the colour-type
combination, or element # ideally. The results of the requests would be
publicly available in HTML format, or Excel/Access/CSV--whatever.
Individuals would have the ability to add, subtract, & modify their entries.
The site would not be 'secure' in that I don't have SSL, and everything is
in plain text. However, there is no intention of handling any money or
transactions, just supply data to the web community. There are many
inherent faults in this concept, but would it be useful? To TLG? To the
community?

| Randy, How would you ensure that one person, or a small group of people, didn't skew the result in their favor by requesting the parts they want a million times or something like that? Troy -- ---...--- Visit Troy's LEGO® Brick Store! (URL) (...) (24 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
