Oh Jon, I really didn't mean to make it sound like I was downgrading your
service or your pricing strategies. I'm sorry if it sounded that way. I was
just passing info along that I had been told from another. You provide a most
valued service to the lego community. I used your prices to give a base for
the items I am willing to sell, then I added a shipping charge as stated.
In a market where supply and demand play such a crucial part, people sometimes
will pay more to get only the parts they want with out the hassle of an
auction, or buying and sorting through sets just to get a few needed pieces.
