Yep, I agree with Larry.  I'd buy them too.   If I got the travelling box with them
in it, I'd probably end up taking lots of them, and in my guilt/shame I'd replace
them with those highly desireable 2x2 regular inverse slope outside corner bricks
(black, white, red, grey) which I seem to have quite a few of.

Whoa, you have 70s red windows that you consider unusuable??? Yeesh,
auction them off. I pay top dollar for those. Sure, put some into the
box, yes, but if you have a whole gallon ziplock of red windows that's
worth several hundred dollars to me, even used.

Same with the trees, there are folks that will pay handsomely for used
trees.

Zoinks!  I just dug the box out of the closet, and it's more than I'd
remembered.  There's 16 pounds of LEGO semi-sorted into about two or three
dozen ZipLoc bags of varying sizes (from a pint up through two-gallon).

At first blush, this complicates things, because now instead of one big mix
there are several big less-mixes.  But let's forget that and just say that
this is good like it is, because now there's definitely plenty of fodder for
several packages (at least 5, I should think), and I wouldn't want to mix
stuff together that's already semi-sorted.

Suzanne is away this week at a trade conference and has the camera, so when
she gets back I'll snap some photos of the LEGO and take queue requests.
Mostly, it's mixes of 70's & 80's stuff -- a bag classic red 70's windows
(many sizes), a bag of town and space and castle parts, a bag of minifigs,
a bag of trees, a bag of old gears, a bag of old wheels, a couple bags of
generic bricks, etc.  Too much stuff to list; photos will work better.

I'm not going to sort any of it into sub-bags; I'll probably actually combine
a few bags so that it works out to 5 or 6 roughtly equally sized packages to
mail.  Fair enough?

p.s.  This is straying off-topic from the spirit of .general at this point
and into the spirit of a person-to-person "trade" type of thing, so follow-
ups on this article are set to .market.buy-sell.trade (stay tuned there for
more details)...
