But let's say I don't want your set.  I don't want to buy the pieces you've
collected.  I want to use the pieces I already have to build my own copy.

Yes, I do understand that other members do not feel exactly the same.  I would
be quite willing to sell a set of my plans to people...frankly, if you want a
set of colour printed instructions, I am going to seek around 1/3rd of the
price of the set, but I am willing to sell them without the parts (since, yes,
you may well have the parts)

(and yes, I do consider that to be reasonable, given the price of colour
reproduction on a small scale- a buck a sheet quickly adds up, when the sum
total you are looking at is $15 or so)

(...) No, as I said before, out of simple disinterest. If I build a copy of something someone else built, what is the point of discussing it? What purpose could discussing it possibly serve? What would I gain as the poster, and what would people (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)
