It's also interesting to note that people are spending 3M+ for LEGO on
Ebay each year, and *not* spending it on Town Jr. sets that they might
otherwise buy.

| I'm interested in this information. LEGO-VOL has the dollar sum of auctions that ended in the past seven days: $61431 x 52 weeks = nearly $3.2M / year. Wow. To me, that's a lot of money. But to TLC, I assume it is not- TLC had $1.3B 1999 total (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.theory)
