Part of the trouble with this "big buyer" selling in my opinion is the
number of unwanted parts which are left over. After the top buyers have
exhausted the seller of the desired parts the remainder are usually left to
Brickbay or other venues. These leftover pieces are often harder to sell
then they would be in combination with the more desired parts.
Also an inventory of 5000, or even 10,000 pieces may be insufficient to peak
the interest of many top buyers who want 100's of each type of piece.
