Yep... I also have quite a pile of collections I've picked up on Ebay
and in local garage sales.
I actually sort those independently of my main pile, and only integrate
them once I've either completed all the sets that I can from the collection
or else determined there are none left to build.
So the way that I actually sort is far more complicated than the way
presented in my posting about the evolution.... (which is nuts.)
But at least I don't have this problem:
