Well, sure. But it's kinda hard to make a decision without knowing which
pieces are in your sets: when I buy a new set for parts fodder, I can be
sure that either they're all there, or I can get Lego customer service to
supply any that are missing.
What you're offering is not only a "pig in a poke", but one that has had one
or more unspecified limbs amputated ;-)
There are a few sets on your list that I'm interested in, and I'll take up
the negotiations with you in email.
But, since there are some "general principles" involved, I'm also mentioning
them here.
Like the fact that it'll be hard to arrive at a fair price on the "garage
sale" sets, since they suffer from the double disadvantages of unknown
completeness and subjective (and thus, perhaps differing) assessments of the
amount of playwear. These are things that are easy to make snap judgements
about when you have the set in hand, but hard to do via email. Even with
photos. You probably won't get as much as you might have as a result.
I'm wondering how many trade offers of partial sets you'll get. I know that
I don't keep them around, unless the parts are only "borrowed" for some
experiment: if I "raid" a set, I go ahead and put all the parts in my bins.

| Good point, Derick. I should point out that most of these sets will be of no interest to someone who is looking to fill a gap in their collection. I'm hoping that someone simply likes the pieces of a particular set or might have an incomplete set (...) (24 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
