Pity about the 4536's, if only more had gone to people who wished to
build them not sell them :-(

Thanks for the defense, Frank...

My plan is to use these hoppers to accomplish two goals. I will sell
enough off to pay for what I bought plus a little extra, but that should
leave me with 20-30 to keep easily.  I am also giving the GMLTC
membership a special deal on some of them... The little extra is to
defray some of the flack I take at home about how I never sell anything,
stuff is just piling up, this is a huge loss, get that LEGO out of the
basement, etc...

I plan to, if Paul will accept it, give Busy Bee a little something
extra(1) because they sold these for WAY too low, and I want Busy Bee to
do well, they perform a valuable service for us all.

Simon, if you're still miffed that I got a bunch, let's take it up in
.debate...

1 - I am thinking 2 pounds extra per hopper above and beyond what they
charged me.

(...) Sell or auction? (...) That's a good idea. No problem with that. (...) Well Paul just did a standard profit margin on what he paid for them - since LEGO Denmark had them on the cheap because they wanted to clear them out - the end price was (...)

(...) In some ways it would be nice if Busy Bee discovered the internet... They probably should have sold the 4536s for a bit of a premium and captured some of the proffit, since after all, they're the ones who managed to dig them up. Of course (...)
