Just by looking at it, (still in the Polybags) it seems to good value for • the
money. The Pause list shows an unofficial parts count of 579 which makes • the
price about 3.7p per element, compared to a normal RRP for Team/Technic • stuff
of about 10-12p or usual 'reduced' prices of about half that.

er, Does anyone else use such calculations or am I _really_ sad?


If you think that is sad.......
yes, I do occasionally use price/piece/set determinations.....
but, in order to determine the value of a brick in Auczilla, and how much
would be a good price, I took the bottom of the box inventory from 1857 (the
950 brick value box, £13.50 usually), totalled them all up, multiplied all
of that by the total number of studs, and then divided it all to get a
per piece-type cost.....some examples....
there are a total of 31260 studs in 1857, resulting in a per stud cost in
1857
equalling 0.004319 pence. Therefor, a 1x1 brick cost 0.4319p, a 2x2 1.7274p,
and
a 2x4 brick cost 4.4549 pence.....I did the same with 3025 silver brick
bucket!

BTW, if anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet, just e-mail me!
