Great.  Now maybe I can stop seeing ffilz on every ebay auction for
vegetation.  Even better, the prices won't be up to $20 per tree.


Who says I've got enough...

Well Frank, you have to have one of the biggest Lego budgets on the planet.  I
mean there are entire third-world countries that spend less on their survival
than you do on your collection.  I can't compete with the prices you pay.  I
am not complaining, just merely envisioning a future in which ffilz owns every
single lego element.  You must make really great money, be single, be the best
money manager of all time, live with the folks, have a girlfriend that is a
majority stockholder of TLC, or a combination of the above.  I work for
government wages, have wife and kids, am a total spendthrift, and my wife is a
homemaker.  Therefore my lego collection is anemic by your standards.  While
you buy palm trees by the 1000 and $90 Technic sets for one element I am
looking under piles of dust in rural department stores hoping to find
something on a good enough sale to slip it by my wife's money radar.  When I
do go to ebay it is for a bargain, you are there for quantity.  There is
nothing wrong with that and it is part of being in the U.S., but I wish they
had a poorman ebay and a Frank Filz ebay.   Enjoy the 120,000 palm trees you
have in boxes, meanwhile I'll keep searching the bargain bins to supply two or
three to my kids.

Cheers,
Mark L

(...) Oh, quit complaining... Frank and I could BOTH be active on eBay at the same time. Fortunately for you, we're not. (ALTHOUGH... I AM the reason that WB ran out of everything.) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.adventurers)
