(...) Oh, it's not nearly as exciting as you might think it is. It's simply my old digital camera, which, due to an unfortunate interaction with a concrete driveway, no longer functions when the AC power is not plugged in. It is 1 megapixel, with a (...)

I have an item (I won't mention what it is until I get confirmation that it's legal to sell on .b-s-t) that isn't Lego, but would be very handy for Lego projects. Would it be okay to post about it on the .b-s-t newsgroup, or is that strictly for (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.theory)

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.

I think she only has 4 of them left now. The last couple sold for around 32 bucks a couple of months ago. And I know she doesn't have any shill bidding going on.

I know that I shouldn't expect a major increase (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.market.theory, lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.general)

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)
