This just occurred me.  I'm trying to imagine him at the Canadian border
crossing.
"What's in the truck?"
"Old Lego."
(Customs officer has a look)
"Lego, yep.  Worth how much?"
"$47,000 US" (or however much it ends up being)
(Officer has heart attack.  Deputy searches in vain for 5-digit forms for used

Boggles the mind.  The amount of GST/PST paid by the buyer would be truly
awful.  Not that that's the only reason I'm not bidding :-)  Hopefully the
winner will tell us the story once the deal is done.

Cheers, Heather

Seller states that there really is over 2000 lb of Lego. He will rent a U-Haul and deliver in USA or Canada. Search 'Lego Collection:'item 553020871. Current bid was over $3000 but he wants probably 20x that! Let me know what you think! (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.general) !!
