When it waz time to leave, I just scooped (using a small PaB cup) (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) It's all part of the hobby. I would agree with the watching TV example. "Free time" shouldn't figure into a cost equasion. If you are looking a brick dealer, and that's your livelyhood...maybe.

(...) This got me to thinking, so I ran some numbers (note that math is not my strong point, and I estimated a lot). A 2x4 brick at the online PAB is $0.16.

Both of you spent almost three hours filling your green tubs. Then, to be able to actually use the pieces you carefully packed, you had to disassemble them all once you got them home. Being cost effective means considering not just the money, but (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Here's my experience with a PAB tub at the Bellevue, WA store: Time to pack: 2.75 hours. This included chatting with Neil, Gordon, Soren, and Jon Tatman (because it's not a real visit to the Bellevue store if you don't run into Jon there. . .). My (...)
