Well, technically, this is not exactly true, or at least it wasn't last time I
checked.
I've pored over the T&C of eBay pretty closely and there is nothing that
requires you to collect the entire amount of the winning bid. You are obligated
to sell the goods to the high bidder and you are obligated to charge no more
than what the bid is (plus shipping and money transfer costs if you said those
were extra) but you are NOT obligated to charge the bid price exactly.
You can charge less if you so choose.
And in fact I have done just that very thing. It was with a 1775.

Yep. And you're not obligated to cut the customer a break but you can if you
want. For these entire buckets, I probably would. However, consider that having
someone else sort the bucket for me is possibly worth something... I think I
bought all the colors from some buckets Mike Stanley broke up once and it was
so I'd have bulk lego already color sorted for certain uses where color sorting
was more important than piece type sorting.
