I would recommend you breaking up the set of items into smaller groupings.  Keep
the space stuff separate, and possibly even sell the gold bricks individually.  As
for eBay versus LUGNET auction, I am partial so I won't comment.  I would be
interested in some of the blue or purple bricks though......

I think that I've decided to sell/auction off some of the unusual things I
picked up as a LEGO model builder.  Including but not limited to some gold
bricks (like the silver, but gold.  Given to some employees), a decoration
Duplo block made when they started the new decoration plant, some light blue
bricks, some purple bricks,

Sounds like a decent variety.

some tan bricks.  I don't think the tan is unusual
anymore

Nope, not unusual.

but the rest are real LEGO, they are from the Danish model shop.  I
also have some prototype instructions for the Spyrius sets and a whole slug of
trans-yellow plates in the 6x8 variety and Fab-firgures.

Before I start an auction I'm just curious if there are any buyers as I'm not
likely to sell without some real compensation.  If I decide to sell is it
better to post on e-bay?  If I could get some help from some of the veterans • of
this forum, I'd appreciate it.

I'd say the buyers here are better informed, but you're always going to find
more "deep pockets" on eBay because of its exposure. While eBay can give you
that, it also does not prevent sniping, thereby possibly doing you out of more
money than an auction with no fixed end.

I couldn't say whether I'd participate cuz my Lego dollars are very fluid but
there are a few space nuts (like me :-) that'd love those 6x8 trans-yellow
plates.

And yes, for auctioning on lugnet, the lugnet.market.auction group would be
the place. Only trades and straight sales in this group.
