In general I think a set is more valuable as parts. (Like an automobile) The Millenium Falcon might be an exception to that rule though. It's been going for more than 250 dollars recently. Reminds me of the Guarded Inn prices a couple of years ago. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.theory)

I agree. I have had multiple transactions with this seller myself, all with no problems, so I don't mean to imply that anything underhanded was going on.

Hi there: I've got my eye on a few auctions on Ebay, and I'm troubled by the sellers' choices not to include estimated shipping costs for two of the items. It seems to me that it would take very little effort to calcuate shipping to the four corners (...) (24 years ago, 28-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.theory)
