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.

I was thinking this: I *know* set 'A' comes with 4 copy's of piece 'B'.
I want 80 copies of piece 'B'. So that means 20 copys set 'A'. My thinking
is that set 'A' includes piece 'C' that someone else might want (20 sets
worth) and so on. Then what ever is left gets divided up.
