Hello lego-fan(s)

i offer you the 4559 set (yellow train set) for $105.00 (without shipment)
Shipment will be done from the netherlands to every place in the world.

Yikes, that's gonna be expensive...not to mention how long it would take
to go to EVERY place in the world :)


When you are interested you can mail me at;
pokkie-pokkie@wxs.nl

I don't believe in fate, but Barry does, and I trust that he knows that,
eventually, I will be interested in this set - it's just a matter of
time :)


Greetings

Sorry, Barry - this post just struck me as particularly funny :)

hehe

Thomas, I hadn't checked the grammar quite as closely as you did.

Maybe it's kind of like a "jambalaya" train set he's starting, one which you
don't take or add pieces, in which case it's still off-topic :-)

when replying, don't eat the spambalaya.
