We (NALUG) have done this 3 times now, using a draft-style format, and it
seems to work well. Basically, everyone chips in equally, we sort the sets
into their component parts (all of one part goes in 1 pile), and everyone
takes turns grabbing piles until it's all gone.
It works pretty good, and is a social thing as much as a getting parts
thing. We haven't tried it with 10 or 20 sets, we've stuck to about the same
number of sets as people, and that keeps the time down to a couple hours,
which is good, IMHO.
We've done twice with multiple copies of a single set and once with 2
different sets (2 copies each). It's a matter of opinion which was
"better", mostly depending on who got what parts. :) And someone always
gets stuck with the blue windshields. <inside joke>
Let me know if you want more specific info.
