I have just aquired this set: (URL) looks pretty old, it must be from the 60s or 70s. It's a MISB and the box is in excellent condition. Anyone have an idea of fair market value? How much will I get if I put it on ebay? thx willy (23 years ago, 6-Nov-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

It is tough on catalogs since there were some years the were duds and other that were must haves. The general rule of thumb is the older it is, and of course the better condition it is, generally makes it more valuable. The Holiday issues that were (...)

Hey Y'all: I understand that my proposed Construction Toy Grading Standards may become the de facto standard recommended to shop owners at Brickbay. To honor this small, yet auspicious, nod from Dan J. the standards can now be found in two places! A (...)

If the parts are not as described then the seller should pay all of the shipping. Period. I have recently had to offer such a refund on a sale that I made. It was a mistake in listing a minifig where I accidently clicked on the one below the one I (...)

Careful... Whilst I appreciate your situation, indeed the seller seems to have been remiss, I might read this as meaning that you HAVE had dealings with an a "non-overseas" i.e. local, "seller who is so irresponsible" ?

I think this is a tricky situation. It basically comes down to his opinion vs. your opinion. I think that if the items were close to the condition he had described then the seller should not have to pay for shipping. If they were clearly not in the (...)
