This is one of the best ways to get LEGO. I have bought a lot of sets this way.
However, it is very time consuming. I now only buy bulk LEGO whic is in good
condition, clean & cheap. Normally, I search the bulk lot before I buy for key
parts of sets (windows, formed basplates, sails etc). Also pay attention to the
condition of the figures - these are often a good indicator of the overall
condition of the lot.
Also if some of the sets are older than the kids they belonged to, it may me
that these were bought used - and so are less likely to be complete.
Have fun
