Re: item prices —Hans van Loenen

(...) that (...) Thats true. But what I mean is; why is someone buying of item x 10 sets? In my opinion just to make a lot of money later on. And I followed ebay for a while and there are a lot of people who have some sets already and still buy some (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Re: item prices —Scott Edward Sanburn

Hans, (...) What's wrong with making money? IMO, there is nothing wrong with buying anything for any reason. If I buy extra food for the winter, store it, and don't use it, and then maybe sell it at a higher price, is that wrong? If you have the (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Re: item prices —James Powell

(...) I'm going to add to what Scott said. I sold 6 copies of 4555 to Tom S., for around what it cost me. I sold 7 copies of _the same set_ for around the same amout to 4 other individuals, and just covered my costs (got something in trade, which (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Re: item prices —Charles Eric McCarthy

(...) I am one of those 4 other individuals. Thanks, James! When you offered to get the sets for us at cost, you requested that we not just auction the sets off on Ebay, because you didn't want to go to the trouble of getting the sets and mailing (...)

Re: item prices —James Powell

(...) It was more because I traded 3 of the sets to him, and sold him 3. It was on a separate understanding (not trying to be rude, but I couldn't cover more than $1500 on my credit card...the US money stays as US money for me to pay for more lego (...)

Re: item prices —Tom Stangl

I was intending to auction 2-4 off from the very beginning, and James knew that. But I also sent him a set that is running VERY high prices on Ebay, so he made out fine ;-) (...) -- | Tom Stangl, Technical Support Netscape Communications Corp | (...)

Re: item prices —Larry Pieniazek

(...) I don't think anyone should have to explain themselves, as to why they decide what to sell and what to keep, except in very rare occurances. But I don't think Eric was intending to start anything either by asking, he was just curious, I (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Re: item prices —Tom Stangl

(...) Yep, and James did it KNOWING I was going to keep 2-4, and Ebay the others. In fact, my NEED for them hinted to him that maybe he should buy a few extra for himself ;-) Of course, I'm only selling 2. I MAY sell 2 more, I may not, I am (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Re: item prices —Lindsay Frederick Braun

(...) A big "ditto" from me here--for example, I bought about 14 Sith Infiltrators on clearance, and I've parted four out and auctioned most of the pieces off--which provided enough to pay for the other ten! The goal is for my hobby to support (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Re: item prices —John Neal

(...) No, seriously, I don't give a rat's patootie about *any* set put out by TLC- I bust'em all up [1]. I don't even build them-- I let my kids. Then they get cannibalized. Right now I'm half way through an observation car that required (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Re: item prices —Scott Edward Sanburn

(...) Hmm... I was fortunate in the Metroliner in that I bought it when I was going to Ohio State when it was on the shelves and didn't have any bills then. I would never sell it or give it up because 1) I love it, and 2) I am planning on getting (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Re: item prices —Tom Stangl

(...) 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. If it takes 20 of that set to finish your creation, well, you're going to try to buy 20, whether it is all at once or (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Hans van Loenen schreef: (...) Not everybody here's a millionair...
