(...) I owe Jon a public apology. When Dan mentioned having 500,000 parts on BrickBay with Baylit added, I got curious and looked at Baylit again. After browsing through over 50,000 bricks, thousands of plates, and even over 10,000 Technic pieces, I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.services, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) Todd, can you offer any opinions regarding FreeBSD v. Linux? At work we are using Linux, but I often hear how FreeBSD is just a tad more stable. Of course, Linux has all this buzz going for it. Whaddaya think? How has FreeBSD served Lugnet (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.services)

(...) Actually it's not about how many parts are listed but how many lots - 1,000 parts or 10 parts listed in 1 lot don't make a difference. I think the problem here are the fees - why not list Baylit's existing inventory with prices 2% higher than (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.services)

(...) No, that's not it. You're not out of stock because you have a lot of parts, you're out of stock because you've priced your parts high enough to shut the people who buy loads and loads of parts at once out.

You just have to decide whether the price is worth it to you. He should certainly (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.services)
