(...) I, someone who buys a *lot* from brickbay, find brickbay and ebay postings here mostly unhelpful (I'm being diplomatic). Both of those sites have search engines that give me access to a lot more pieces than the individual sale postings, and (...) (24 years ago, 18-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) This is why I've repeatedly advocated for lugnet.market.ebay and lugnet.market.brickbay.

(...) I have to say that, based on my experience, at least a goodly number of people seem to find them useful. I certainly notice a surge in orders at my shop after a post here.

(...) I have no doubt that some people read them, and that they result in sales. Because currently there are a manageable number of them.
