Thanks you guys,

I think I'll sell the castle stuff as sets, but now that I look at the
space sets...there's some pretty cool pieces there, so I'm not sure how
I'll handle those.

Thanks again,

Dan

P.S. Now I have to go build my sets to make sure I have all the
pieces...work, work, work...I'm afraid I won't want to sell them when
I'm done...

I'm thinking of focusing my inventory, and am wondering what people
prefer at auctions...sets or pieces.  I, of course, am trying to balance
buyer satisfaction with makin some $$ to get the pieces I want.  I'm
going to be auctioning some 80's castle and space sets and I have all
the instructions, but no boxes.  I've never sold a single LEGO brick
before, so I'm curious what regular buyers prefer.

My thought on it are that older sets should be sold at sets.  Newer ones should
be sold by pieces since anyone that wants to buy them as sets has a chance to
do
so.  When it comes to older sets though, even though you might sell the
instructions, people will still want the pieces - all of them.  Plus ... your
profit will be greater if you sell them as sets.

Yeah, that makes sense.  Still, I'd love to get a lot of pitchforks
and yellow timber walls, without having to buy a lot of older sets.
