(...) Not necessarily. If you read about all the good deals these Americans are getting in their sales, you will realise that no one has any money left for bidding in auctions. Perhaps in a month's time, when they've all been paid again :-) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Haven't recieved any reactions so far... Am I asking an unfair price? Auction rules not good? Or just the wrong sets? Thanks for the input... (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) Oh no, not at all (at least in MY case) - sometimes only a few sets (or ONE set) have a part you need for a custom creation.
