1. Of course, if the buckets w/ silver bricks could be bought at a discount,
that would be swell. The same goes for any bucket.
2. Have you sold your silver brick for $2.00? Only with such a "realized
gain" does your claim really stand, since they could drop to being worth .02
if LEGO later casts more bricks in that color. Or, if you lose your silver
brick or it becomes scuffed, etc. Also, it is only worth $2.00 if you think
it is, and I already stated that it wouldn't be worth such a price to me.

Orange plates, tiles, etc. are proliferating (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jun-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
