I passed through Milton on the Thursday after Easter, i.e. two days after
ANZAC Day.

I don't think it's an eBay entrepeneur. It certainly wasn't me. I just
bought the 6160 which you had told me was there, and the four space minifig
packs. I did buy a couple of other items from his store, but they weren't
Lego.
I must admit that if I'd seen older sets there I would have bought them, but
only to pass on to other AusFOLs. I found a few sets in Eastern Vic that I
sold to Pete W and Richard at what was basically the original cost. If I'd
met any other SydFOLs I would have given them some of the spoils too, alas
they were all elsewhere :-(

I think that he was being lazy about the list he sent you, and that it was
way out of date. Keep in mind that a lot of the list you posted was
Insectoid, UFO and Basic, and that they were still there.

How long had your layby been at the store? Definitely get a credit card if
you don't have one, especially because then you can order Lego from
DYA-shopping(*). They have 6748 and a couple of other Western sets if you're
interested. The prices aren't too bad either, sometimes it ends up cheaper
than buying here, even with shipping.

| Hi Paul Glad you got the 6160 :-) If the guy made a mistake as he said and forgot that that laybuy was mine, well, it happens. I was just hoping that whoever got it, was not wanting to make a huge profit on it, but keep it and was at home gloating (...) (25 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
