Hey... how about listing the brickbay sites by number of parts? The more you post, the higher on the list you are! That way we can avoid anyone opening "AAA Lego Sales". Just my 2 cents worth... Tom of Tom's Technic (...) I (...) the (...) (24 years ago, 29-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) IMHO You can't compare the value of sets with bricks. Is a shop that has 10K of bricks better than a shop that has one Metroliner and a Guarded Inn for sale? Is the shop with one 4558 better than a shop that sells 10 small sets? I would like (...) (24 years ago, 29-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
