Hi Richard,
I picked up four white ones a about 12 months ago on ebay in pirate piece lot.
They came in handy for the BSB I was rebuilding. You'll just have to keep a sharp
eye out
on all the usual lego haunts and not expect to get a bargain.
Speaking of unusual quantities of hard to find parts, I came across a fellow on
brickbay a while ago
who was offering large quanties of a part I had been having a hard time finding more
than one or two of.
It was the red 2x2 flat flag/flap. My BSB needed about 8 of them and this fellow was
offering 200 at 5 cents each.
I should have grabbed all of them but only took 100. He also had the larger 4x4
white flag/flap for 10 cents.
So it's true that one man's trash is another's treasure, those square and arched
latice windows will turn up
cheap and in quantity one day, just like guarded inns.
