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
not ;-)

Because they NEED multiples of the set. I personally NEED at least 10 5571s for
the various models I am going to make, but luckily I already have them (lucky for
other people bidding on them, and lucky for me, because I don't have to spend the
money on them).
