Just got the nicest complement ever from a European who purchased my Unofficial
LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide computer desktop download. He also downloaded
it to his SmartPhone....
.....he went to a flea market in a nearby town, and came across 2 of the 310
Esso Service stations... in fact two identical to these (1958-60, 1957-58), both
in used condition like these, but the 2nd (older one) in better condition that
the one shown here.... in an unrelated pair of German Ebay LEGO Auctions that
shows how valuable old (as well as new) LEGO sets have gotten....
In his Email to me.... he said it was a lot like finding a pair of good used
condition boxed 10179 Millennium Falcon's but at only approximately 100 Euros
each... with other people not knowing how much they were worth!!
Some of the older LEGO sets have really gone thru the proverbial roof in
value.... these 310/1310 Esso Service Stations of 1956-65 are running as high as
$3000-$5000 each now....
