What is up with some people? I am completely baffled by this one example. I'm starting to make my suburb and everything for my city, and of course, houses are a must. I bid on 3 6370's on eBay (and didn't get one) but there was one that was just in (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) I saw those auctions too and couldn't understand it, but it all depends on how badly someone wants something and the bidders at the time. A Metro Park & Service Tower goes anywhere from $90 to $210. I paid $130 for one MISB (off of eBay). (...) (24 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) Are there any sets that never appear on ebay or when they do only sell for really expensive prices? -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (24 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) Okay,so I understand that it has been a LONG time since the last house came out. Actually, I shouldn't say that as the Velux house came out just recently. However, I would have to say $130 for a MISB Metro Park and Service Tower is a GREAT (...) (24 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) I must say, your city sounds VERY nice. However, I couldn't help but pick this out. I'm sorry you paid $50 for the Riding Stable. If it wasn't for me, you would have had it for $16. As you see, I tried getting that set as well for my city. But (...) (24 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) I'll second Sanjay's opnion here, that the trains do take up a large amount of space. I would estimate that 1/3 of the area of my city is taken up with the trains. Not so much that physically they cover 1/3, but that for the rest of the city, (...) (24 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) I wound up in a bidding war for one auction, and it turned out the other guy only really had to have the instructions!!! So after I won I sold him the instructions (dupes to me) for $15. Ugh. (24 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) Excuse me, but I am NOT doing the same thing. I was not prepared to pay a ridiculous price for a Lego. I think, for as neat and as old as this set is, I thought $50 was a great price. That is what I was willing to pay. And I didn't get it (...) (24 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
