This is amusing. Three different bidders vying for 50 or so elements, • mostly
white thin-walls, have the bidding up to eleven cents. One of those 1x4x3
white panels sells on BrickBay for from $0.35 to $0.95.

Bidding is now up to a raging $0.16.  BUT, don't forget shipping of $2.00.
At $2.16 for 3 white walls, you're now up to $0.72 per part.  Competitive
with Brickbay, plus the shipping you would also have to pay for a Brickbay
order.


Actually not.  One would still have to pay shipping on an order from
Brickbay as well.

If I had listed these parts on Brickbay instead of on eBay, it would also
cost $2.00 to ship them.  That is my minimum shipping charge for parts
packed in a padded envelope.  I use a flat fee for small lots that ship
First Class.  Sometimes it is more and sometimes less and the padded
envelopes cost about $0.50 each.  I decided not to post these on Brickbay so
I wouldn't have to deal with used parts and new parts of the same type.
