Has anyone ever put an advertisement in your local newspaper looking for
Lego?  Any comments about your experience or thoughts on doing something
like this?  I am considering trying to do that, but I'm unsure what would be
the best way to word such an advertisement.  I've tried garage sales, but I
am never able to find any Lego.  I'd rather (like everyone here I guess) to
buy someones old Lego at a 'garage sale' type price.  What I'm trying to get
at, I think, is a way to word an advertisement to buy people's Lego that
they would otherwise have sitting in an attic or at a garage sale.  Did that
make any sense to anyone?

Yes, that makes sense to me.

Personally, I have just recently taken up the method of advertising for used
lego... I tried around my school. I actually went up to a lot of people and
talked to them personally. So far I have only gotten few responses but I'm
hoping that over the weekend, people will take the time to look.

I don't know if ads in the newspaper will prove worthy though; I haven't
tried that... but a good way to word it is something like "Make some space
in your attic! Get paid for your children's old legos!"

(yes, legos, a lot of people weren't sure what I meant when I said I'll buy
old lego!)

First off, I'm not sure if this is the correct newsgroup for this, but I wanted to start here. Has anyone ever put an advertisement in your local newspaper looking for Lego?
