Hmm, where's a Jesuit when you want one?
Basically, I see it like this; If you can see yourself using the set for
parts, then keep it. If you are just going to shelve it, then sell it.
It's SUCH a hassle buying the big sets OS, that if you can, you should help
out your fellow aussie. Due to the high cost, most of these sets aren't
really that good in a cost/piece ratio, anyway, so you're probably better
off selling the old set and buying a couple of new 8448's if you want
pieces. Unless of course the set contains righteously rare pieces (cue
8480's polarity switch, micromotor, worm gears, white pieces, or 8680's
pneumatic pump), in which case you can feel guilt-free in keeping it.

Who now feels like taking a course in semiotics...
p.s. Out of interest, is it an 88XX or an 84XX?

| I have something of a moral dilemma. Some months ago, I embarked on a crusade to buy myself an 8XXX, a large Technics set, no longer in production. To cut a very long story short, I ended up with two (which wasn't part of my plan), one from Germany (...) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
