of this piece that they want to sell.

I checked Bricklink, but there are only about 4 on the entire site (unless
someone can find another search criteria that pulls up more).

I need about 30 or so for a large scale facade that I'm working on.  If you
happen to have 30 1 x 3 red arches (or even just a bunch) that you don't
need, maybe you can email me at:  redarches@apotome.com

1 x 3 arch bricks in Red, Blue, and Yellow are parts I consider to be rare.
That is because, as far as I know, they have only been available in one set
each.  Peeron records indicate this also -->

I have spent several years working to acquire this piece in Red and Blue and
have not been too successful in amassing a quantity larger than about a dozen
Red and a dozen blue.  I have placed many bricklink orders because one or two
of these have been available from specific sellers (and then I end up buying a
bunch of other parts, too).  What I mean is you may have to buy the ones and
twos available and just keep looking for more.  I know that is all I can do
--and build with the ones I have already.  Fortunately, the prices they usually
sell for on Bricklink do not reflect their actual rarity; I don't think I have
ever paid more than 35 cents for them.

As a suggestion, you could use 1 x 2 inverted slope bricks to simulate an
arch. The effect is not as good, but I don't know of too many alternatives.

(...) I think I currently have..... 1 of them. And the weird thing is, I'm not entirely sure where it came from. I've never bought or owned the Knight's Castle (#6073) but I may have picked up the piece in a garage sale find at some point. This adds (...)
