Usually I sold them per theme (3 town, 3 fright knights etc) , and usually
it worked out very well... Indeed, postage is usually just as expensive as
the entire lot. I currently have one auction with all 10 mini's, but it's
not doing great either (10 sets at $10.50 at the moment, 1 day to go)
Weird thing is, when I posted to lugnet (b-s-t) nobody replied, but at eBay
most lots went for over 2* the price I asked on lugnet and I never so far
had somebody win 2 lots, so they all had huge shipping costs too. Like said
before, from a sellers point of view eBay is great :-)
