Almost :) The Pick-A-Brick selection in the US was extended a couple weeks ago
to include flower stems (and flowers), and that's something I know I personally
have been yearning for for ages: mass quantities of flower stems. I'll bet in
the past flower stems were snatched up fairly quickly on BL, but yet there were
so few of them for sale that they never would've made it to this list. But now
people can sell them by the hundreds and even thousands, just by grabbing a
couple cups from a Lego store.
In addition to what Paul suggested, it would be interesting to see stats on:
- What percentage gets sold vs. unsold? (IE basic brick may be the #1 seller,
but it's also got the most representation. Wouldn't suprise me to find out that
there's LOTS of basic brick that goes *unsold* as well as sold.)
- How quickly does an item get purchased? (How much is the average lifespan of a
particular piece on BL before it's sold?)
