I'll add my two cents to this...

I did something in a similar vien the other day, although it wasn't quite the
same and on retrospect, I'm a little ashamed. I emailed directly the highest
bidder on an original Metroliner to inform him that he could get a copy of it
MIB soon directly from Lego. Poor taste? Yes. Unethical? Probably. It just
angered me to see this fellow willing to shell out over $100 for something that
he need not. Of course I've vowed never to do this again, but it goes along the
same vien.

Is it fair for people to sell something above what the actual market value is?
We here at Lugnet know what they're worth now...and the prices should be
lowered accordingly. Is there something we can do? Or is it even our place?

(...) Was the Metroliner being bid on a MISB set? If it wasn't, some of what I'm going to say may not apply. But if it was...
