Why a lot of effort? It saves Ben a lot of work, and all the buyers some
$$$.

I have another suggestion, if Bricklink won't play - why not distribute
the initial lot through LTCs?

While that MIGHT work for the US, it certainly won't for Europe. Hardly any
LTC's here, and most other clubs won't bother... not to mention those that
are not a member of a local/national club.

This gives a good idea of initial demand, and I don't suppose the train
nuts dedicated enough to be in an LTC would mind even paying a little more
than the regular price for initial exclusivity.

This sounds a bit absurd. So if you can't or won't join a club you get
"fined" ? Sounds hardly fair.

Sorry, but I much prefer Tim David's solution. It would at least for Europe
most likely work out a lot better.
