(URL) blue bucket for $31? Are these not still available at just about any stor for $19.99? Perhaps I am going about this all wrong. To think I spend all this time trying to find sets on sale and then sort them out, when I could just buy these sets (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) And they didn't even spell "Wisconsin" correctly for their 'location'... Kinda like the McDonald's "drive through" set with the opening bid set at $24.95... That's crazy talk! JG (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) Hmmm. One opposing datapoint: the local WM had 12 blue tubs on the shelf this morning. Four weeks ago they had zero. There must be some still in the pipeline somewhere.

(...) But those 12 tubs don't do me any good unless I'm willing to pay you enough to encourage you to go get them and send them to me (obviously I don't actually need those 12 tubs or there would be no blue tubs in the stores I shop at).
