Thinking of maybe holding another "spring cleaning" auction of old sets.
Haven't done one of these in years.  Need to clear out more space in the
LEGO room.

Lots of stuff, mostly 5-12 years old.  Just a heads-up.  Haven't decided
whether to include used sets or only brand-new sets.  Various tasty goodies
from the glory eras of Town, Boats, Trains, Castle, Space, Pirates, and
Technic.  Leaning toward parting with (rather than keeping) duplicate
monorail, BT1, and Metroliner sets.  Opinions welcome.

I would prefer that you hold off until my Lego budget recovers from SW
purchases :-)

Heh heh.  Okee-Sure.  ;-)

Well, here are a couple more data points:

-  We just finalized a deal today with a local private collector who had a
   sizeable collection for sale -- all sets with boxes and in brand-new
   condition with very little shelf-wear.  It will take a while to get
   everything photographed, but we'll be including most of these in the
   auction.

-  A start date for the auction is not yet set, but it will probably start
   in June and probably run for 4 to 8 weeks.  We're not in a hurry to start
   it, but we'd like to give a preview/set list as soon as we reasonably
   can, so people can start planning if they need to.  We can't take
   detailed photos until after we finish up the AucZILLA IX shipping.
