I think that three things are happening here:
#1 - I did not see that auction, otherwise I would have bid $0.50 each for
them. I am not looking at ebay for buying much these days because of how
much I have spent due to the Target clearances. (Found 2 more Pharaoh's
forbidden ruins yesterday! When did those show up? I went through 2
clean-ups prior to these finds). Many people may be in the same situation.
#2 - People have been complaining that ebay prices are too high. If they
stop looking, prices get too low. It just takes a while for the market to
stabilize. Maybe this was an abnormally low blip.
#3 - How many people are holding out on buying pieces because they are
waiting for Lego Direct to begin bulk sales? Without any real ideas on
prices and availability, there is uncertainty. Uncertainty will drive
prices up or down, depending on what is uncertain. In this case, it appears
to be driving them down.

| Another thought, there are probably a lot of people picking up 6097s on clearance right now, and parting them out. There may just be an oversupply of the columns. Guess I'll hold onto the ones from my 6097s for now. Frank (24 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
