Tom,

Two questions (and I'm not really interested in bidding, since the sets
I'd want are 'priced to keep').

1. The Tipper Truck, original set #6527, your verbiage says "Fig w/Blue
torso - originally had red".  My CV set came with a red torso for this
guy.  Did you actually get blue torso(es)?

I haven't opened the sets yet, going to tonight, so I don't know yet.  The
previous 2 sets I bought did have blue torsos, from what I can remember.


2. You say you're auctioning off the sets, they are all for sale, but
you want to keep as many as possible.  How are you planning on managing
this?  Are you going to run the auctions until a certain number go to
sold, and then close the whole thing down?  Or will you just keep the
sets which don't receive any bids?  I'm curious, because any LEGO I sell
is probably going to have some tension between wanting money for the set
(to get other sets) and wanting to just keep the set.

I am auctioning off 10 sets, and if I sell enough of the subsets, that will
be it.  If I don't pull in enough to pay off the sets, I will put in some
"reserve" 9365s that I don't REALLY want to have to sell.

I updated the page last night with more info, including a (VERY) rough
timeline for the auction.

YES, I have  that tension too :/   I started on a strict budget today for
Lego/cars/computers, and I have to stick to it, so if I go over budget, it
will only be by making money on selling some Lego, or doing car work.  I HATE
being on a budget, but it's necessary if I ever want to buy a house.

I bought a bunch of the older Dacta Community Vehicles sets, and wish to
auction off many of the subsets in order to pay off some of the bill on
these things. I want to keep as much as possible, but ALL are for sale
right now until I pay off the bill.
