The prices I listed are a starting point for feedback based upon the
prices from S@H in the catalog. I am not asking those prices or saying
that is what they should be. Obviously Ran figures they are too high,
but doesn't bother to say what they should be, although alludes that
they should be roughly halved? I'll say it again - I would be quite happy
if someone else would break apart hundreds of 5218s and sell me the
beams from them. I've got better things to do than sort out 140 Technic
bits and spend hours packaging dozens of $10 orders from people who
only want one piston. (Not to mention being stuck with hundreds of parts
that I don't have a use for) If that's the only way I can get my beams, then
I'll do it, but I'd much rather buy them at a fair price from someone else...
