Gad! I was supposed to update it a thousand years ago too. Well, maybe not a thousand, it just seems like it. Uh...When I get it back, after Shiri, I'm likely to alter the list forward of me to include people who emailed but didn't respond to the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

The Weeks box has been passed on to Shiri. I switched out the box with one which didn't smell like a chimney. I also sort of organized some of the parts (though my contribution is in a separate bag). If you want to be surprised by the box, don't (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

Well, I just go the box back yesterday and just looked through it today. I have to say that I am less than enthused. I think that the value of the box is similar to how it was before I dropped the RCX in. So basically, I think it lost about $50 (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) I think one problem is the wide variation in values of items. For example, back at Brickfest when I traded in a couple packs of shooting cannon, what value is best to use for them? The $5.25 or so they cost me, or the $20+ that they go for on (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

[Major trimming since I figure all of you just read Chris' post] Bleah, that sounds majorly disappointing.

This is kind of confusing here. I admit that I don't sell parts and might not have the best idea of what parts are worth but I took very little out, so I think my trades were fair.
