Why don't you just say "Lions Gate Models(tm) is a member of the Guild
of Bricksmiths(tm), offering fine custom-designed models made from
LEGO parts for discriminating collectors, as well as sales of bulk
LEGO parts" with a link to your site? It doesn't *specifically*
promote off-eBay selling, so I don't think that would be a problem.
(Just make sure you list a batch of bulk LEGO on eBay from time to
time in addition to BrickLink.) Disclaimer: IANAL.
