Uh oh... X-D

If it's not too long, yes. Then again, who has a truck in their garage anyway...

Doesn't look too bad. Good idea *y*

8-o You didn't build the (IMHO lovely) castle sets?! I'm shocked... deeply...

Nah, like KMOI said numbers like these are usually combined sets. Exclusives are 10xxx numbers...

A 260 Idea Book *sweet*

Well, Mr. Assamite, I browsed the idea book pages on peeron and thought it has some very nice, old-style LEGO layouts. And then I browsed ebay, found one, and bought it. All your fault ;-)

You wish. Mayors come first :-P

Two 7823 - FINALLY *sweet*

Not quite. The number of attachments is limited by your available storage space. If you fit 5 attachments into that available space you can have 5 attachments. If your attachment is more than half the size of your available storage space you can have only 1 attachment.

What, you wanna stack the cars? I split the posts and started a new thread so the other poll doesn't get misused. Now, on with the contest...

Man, does anybody ever use the search function?! :-| There's a Tutorials Index. The second link there, explained by SW4J, describes how to upload pics to brickshelf...

Yes. And the fact it doesn't have flaws (IMHO). Then again, I'm the casual Pirates fan, not a perfectionist.

Interesting how much one can talk about unimportant stuff... Depends solely on what sort of day we have. In the worst case you end up a vassal again... or worse >:-)

Depends on where you want to sell it to. I don't know the Australian market, here in Europe it currently sells around 35-50, depending on condition. Buy it know prices are a little higher, up to 60. Umm... that didn't occur to you when you registered on a site called eurobricks? ;-)

Which TLC designed set isn't? ;-) This is a rare set of the Pirates era that isn't a set yet looks like one. Completely in sync with the official sets. 5/5 because of that. Period ;-) The backdrop could need some work, though... *duck*

*cough*Yes, there is*cough* ;-) Below the message editor (the box where you type your posts) you find a field named "File Attachments". Click on the "Browse" button and you can search your computer. Choose the file you want and click on "Add This Attachment". Watch the size, though, you don't have unlimited space! You're done :-)

One Two Three Four ;-)

A New Hope. Simply because it's the Star Wars opening, a pure classic. There my be "nostalgia" in that statement but that scene has been used, copied, mocked, spoofed, whatever so many times, it's a cult scene the newer openings will never become.

Not quite, because... That's the key. Many ebayers hope for a good deal. That means they "go in low" and hope to win with that. When they're outbid the "bidding fever" kicks in. They reeeeeally want it and start to bid again... and again... and again... and they can because there's enough time. As a result the price for the item climbs and climbs and climbs. With sniping there's no time for that and your chance for a good deal is higher. You might be unlucky with the guys that have set their limit high from the start, though. You can't beat a higher bid than yours (duh) but those bidders are rare.

That sounds like 80 % of my collection X-D

:-D :-D :-D

Unfortunately that is a myth. "Gift" (meaning no invoice) just gives the customs guys reason to guess the value (if they open it, that is). Usually they don't care about packages that are marked as "gift" and contain "loose stuff". But if there's a sealed box in the package, they could think otherwise.
