First, this is a newsgroup for discussion and auctions, IMO, should be held elsewhere. There are plenty of places you could auction the set, and then notify people here as well as RTL. eBay is a good bet. Also, Gene (gr3@superlink.net) at the (...)

I asked Todd which group would be appropriate to post auctions in: this one or lugnet.market.auction. To paraphrase, he said "neither" unless the people who read the clone group wouldn't mind auctions in this group. So, do we want to allow auctions (...)

Well, it looks like there is some interest in my Tyco castle. The instructions are in black and white with a little red so there isn't much detail in the picture.
