I now own at least 6 regulators, so I'd have to get one for not much more than $5
to be interested at all.

I am currently using them to power Technic creations, though I am starting to
gather bits for a train.

want are the windows, corrugated bricks, and the trans-red 1x1 bricks.)

So this message is more an effort to gauge interest.

I am mainly concerned about getting "stuck" with the train parts such as the
track, speed regulator, wheelsets, motor, ramp, wagon plates, etc.

I am considering the following:

1) Selling the parts straight sale at roughly 80% of the S@H price.
IE, the track would be around $1 per piece, regulator would be $36, etc.

2) Auctioning the parts at a starting bid of 50% the cost of the the S@H prices
of the same pieces.

The main issues for me (not being a trainhead) is that I have no idea whether
additional speed regulators are even useful. I can understand why one would
want more track, couplers, and motors. At what price point would one consider
buying an extra speed regulator? (A fair price, not a "I'd buy one for $5
answer").

In terms of selling or auctioning pieces, would you rather see them grouped
into large lots, ie 16 curved rail pieces, or smaller lots such as 4, 2 or even
one. Or would you prefer a mixture?

Alternatively, is there anyone who has purchased a 4561 who would be willing to
sell me just the windows for 25-50 cents each?

Thanks for your feedback.
