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

price as someone with tons of feedback.  I don't plan on becoming a regular
seller, so building up positive feedback through selling these items at a
cut price isn't much consolation.

In order to provide myself with a bit of a vent, I thought I’d post this message and see if others share my perspective/experiences or whether I’m just completely wrong in my attitude and thinking (wouldn’t be the first time). My “problem” is that (...) (23 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general) !
