(...) For me, part of the "fun" of LEGO is the socialization aspect. I know all the LEGO Store employees by name, and they know me... we like to BS and throw insults back and forth. The environment is fun. I get to say "thanks" when people walk up (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Hi folks, I just posted over 100 rare and interesting old LEGO bricks from 1949-56 era. These include items as cheap as 25 cents, going up to $12 for the very rare 2x14 bricks, sold only from 1954-56. These were retired in 1956, and were never used (...)

(...) It's all part of the hobby. I would agree with the watching TV example. "Free time" shouldn't figure into a cost equasion. If you are looking a brick dealer, and that's your livelyhood...maybe.

(...) This got me to thinking, so I ran some numbers (note that math is not my strong point, and I estimated a lot). A 2x4 brick at the online PAB is $0.16. Adding 3 sets of 999 (for close to the 3,000 parts that someone quoted) 2x4 bricks shows me (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) That's only true if they were spending their time dealing with the PaB tubs when they would have otherwise been performing work that had monetary value. If they would have spent the time sitting on their butts watching TV, then they've lost (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Both of you spent almost three hours filling your green tubs. Then, to be able to actually use the pieces you carefully packed, you had to disassemble them all once you got them home. Being cost effective means considering not just the money, but (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Sorry about posting in lugnet.trains!
