Has anyone dealt with this person?  Probably worth £5-6 at most, even if the
condition of the bricks was vg/ex (those trans yellow bricks look very opaque)

I read somewhere that british sellers are the worst graders - this does nothing
for the honest sellers.

(...) I think there's some truth to that. It's been my experience anyway. Plus no one mentions whether they smoke or not. I'll tell you what I think is dodgy-est about him though... his exchange rate! He wants 1.6 USD to 1 sterling. This at a time (...) (23 years ago, 18-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)
