The trick to selling a few of this and a few of that is auctioning
in an arena where there is no per-lot fee. Like Mike's web site
or my e-mail auction script. I recently sold a pile of random spare
parts for a guy. It was 950 lots, some selling for 10 - 25 cents,
a couple going up to $30. Most in the $.50 - $1 range.
If your opening bids are low enough, the bricks will move.
