(...) Here's a different perspective: I recently received somewhat of a windfall - a number of older sets, mostly from themes I have no interest in. I want to sell them on Bricklink to support my other Lego purchases. Being a first-time seller, how (...) (23 years ago, 22-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Holy crap, that is CRAZY. Barely a FOTY, let me know if anybody else can top this for FOTC.

Greg, As a fellow AFOL and an EBAY seller, I will reply as a seller. I think that your approach to only buying from sellers who themselves are fans of Lego is a good place to start. I assume that when I put Lego up for auction, that my bidders will (...) (23 years ago, 19-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
