Wow, all told, I have probably found a total of a couple dozen clone
bricks in auction lots labeled as LEGO (I have purchased a few clone
sets). I do have another big pile of clone bricks from the pile of stuff
I bought from a kid, but he told me it included some clone bricks, and
they weren't in the sets he had separated out (other than perhaps an
occaisional one or two bricks here and there).
And as many people could tell you, I've done a LOT of eBaying...
