    Re: I just don't understand people on eBay... —Mark Herzberg
   (...) 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). (...) (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
   
        Re: I just don't understand people on eBay... —Brendan Coughlin
   (...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

   (...) I always start one and never finish one (though I do have a generic website that has not been updated since June 1998). So, I will simply be taking the easy way out and posting the pics at Brickshelf. The galleries are already set up, all that (...) (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

The stadium took up so much expensive land area that I had to turn the Town on it's side to accommodate it. The airport was originally going to go along the (...)

       (...) 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, (...) (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

     (...) (which I think is the funnest part about planning a LEGO city), I would like to place my 2150 and 4555 along the city edges. With track leading to nowhere. I will be dealing mainly with a monorail. There will be four stops. Airport, Downtown, (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

     (...) Let's form a trains-to-nowhere club. My train track goes under a bridge. The bridge is part of an important road that goes the breadth of my desk. Naturally the train track gets the short dimension. (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
   
        Re: I just don't understand people on eBay... —Brendan Coughlin
   (...) 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 (...) (25 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. (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
    
         Re: I just don't understand people on eBay... —Brendan Coughlin
     (...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
   
        Re: I just don't understand people on eBay... —Mark Herzberg
   (...) $51. (...) No hard feelings at all. It is not your fault at all, all you did was place a bid. It is a neat little set, though. However, I was sort of disapointed to open the box and see the set come assembled! I assume people ship LEGO sets (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
