"Bundling" sets for auctions doesn't work well.

Then again, the Launch Command triple pack I just auctioned off sold
for just over $36, which I consider to be a fairly low price
considering the fact that I've seen some people sell the largest set
in that pack for about that much, more than once.

The 1967 went for around $26, about average based on what I've seen
them go for before.  Luckily I still have several of those, so I have
the choice of either selling off some more of them or breaking them up
and keeping the BK set and selling the other sets individually, which
will probably bring less money.

I've been told (and I've found it to be true in my own auctions) that
"bundling" things together for auction usually does not increase the bid
value very much, and sometimes even makes it go down (people only want
one set, and figure someone else will bid high for all the sets
together).

(...) Well, I've rarely seen the 1967 broken up, but I have seen people break up copies of the Launch Command triple pack before. I just figured since I had one left that was unopened I would auction them that way in case someone else wanted them (...) (26 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) The thing I don't understand is, how are the prices for some things staying so consistently high? I've seen more Guarded Inn's go through eBay in the last few months than I remember seeing on RTL in the last year or more, all at a very high (...)
