I have to say, since this subject has been mentioned, although this may be a
wholly unsuitable forum to vent about it, that the people who "invade" these
discount opportunities for profit make me really mad! I don't know any
equitable way to deal with them except to boycott them on ebay and similar
places. I bought my share of $10 Znap sets to harvest motors for use with
Mindstorms RCXs etc.
I wonder if it would be possible to set up a "limit two per household" type
scheme which would make it really hard for the bulk buyer while a modestly
creative "real user" could buy two (or four with a little imagination)easily.
Does anyone know why places like the Lego outlet stores do these deals? I'd
love to think it was to try to help us loyal users happy, but I tend to
doubt it. Is it worth asking the company directly at the upcoming BricksWest
event?
... end of rant ...
