Not interested in buying pieces, but I have also done the classified ad thing.
About two years ago, I put an ad in the local paper "Buying Used LEGOs" and
could have gone broke. I paid less than market value for each collection I
bought and nearly doubled my collection size. I also found that I came away
with lots of old/rare pieces. I plan on doing it again within the next year.
It's surprising how many people are just "cleaning out" and are willing to
part with the stuff their grown children have left behind.
