|
| | | Hello! I have about 800 lbs of Lego or somewhere around 500,000 parts that I am going to be selling in the near future. I am curious to know what more experienced buyers and sellers of The Brick would estimate this collection at, or if anyone would (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

| | | | | (...) Nooo...ooo.......! (D'oh). Er, not that you shouldn't sell it per se, I just hope that doesn't mean we won't see any more great creations from you. Your Jetfire and your Star Wars creations in general were inspirational. Unless, of course, (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

| | | | | | (...) Hi, Thanks, its nice to hear that... but this is all I got, and if I am able to sell it, I won't be buying any more. So that kinda guarantees I won't be building. (...) I wish! :) (...) Yikes.. I wasn't going to address this issue. But since (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

| | | | | | | Hey Joel. After reading this I felt I had a ton of things to say to you but I could be typing for an hour so I might as well keep it short. If you've really made up your mind about this then I know anyhting I say won't help but I'll do it anyway. I (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

| | | | | | | | I pretty much agree with what Jon said, which in a nutshell is: don't go. I can't blame you for worrying about your art suffering though, although there could be numerous factors affecting that. I haven't touched a pencil or a paintbrush since (...)

| | | | | | | The best way to get your mind off of something is to disable your ability to use it. IE: Druggies go to institutions to get off the streets and away from the places to buy the stuff. In a lesser dramatic way, I was addicted to computer games, (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.market.appraisal)
