About 25 lbs from a yard sale from last year of Classic Space and Town.
Some built, much of it missing pieces.  Lots of doubles, missing some
manuals, using Brickshelf to build.  More stuff on the bookshelves.

A recently aquired eBay lot of 25lbs.  More doubles on some sets, missing
pieces, dirty, teeth (see "What's in your LEGO posting").

Another eBay lot from almost years ago.  Sorted out non-LEGO stuff and put
into 11 gallon Rubbermaid container.  No baseplates, auctioned in another
lot and I didn't have the funds to get them also.

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:

And about 10,000 die-cast vehicles in the bedroom closet also yet to be
inventoried and sorted.  And then there are the Lionel trains in the attic
back home...

Wow.
