Well, it didn't sell obviously, I think you're right about the price being set a little too high to begin with. It has been relisted here http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=120356106608 and they have one bid already, and have had quite a few potential buyers email them with questions which actually sound promising, unlike many of the rude ones they've received! They are planning their next project, but are thinking of approaching larger businesses with rough plans and prices before building, in the hope of getting a sponsor, or buyer before beginning. They are also planning many smaller projects between $500-$1000 - because even I would buy something for $1000 if it was something I loved and was into (eg snowwhite haha), but there's just no way I have any more than $1k for something frivolous unfortunately. You're right, with the economy the way it is now, it's tough! Thanks for everyone's comments yet again :)

again, thank you for replies, I'm passing all feedback along - I appreciate everyone's honesty and tact :) Hope you're all enjoying Christmas ;)

hi there, and thank you so much for your quick replies! I think (don't quote me) that the $9000 includes parts AND labor - as both these girls quit their jobs and made this their full time job - working at least 8 hour days for 2 months I think it was - so I think they have included a base wage in the $9000 price. They've put their heart and soul into it, and often worked throughout the night. ALL feedback and constructive criticism is appreciated! I'll pass it all onto Karryn and Jacqui. Thanks again guys! Really appreciate it

Hi there! I'm just posting about a story which I am hoping will gain some interest in here and around the world! This was featured today on ninemsn.com: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/7031...te-lego-stadium and also on three different Australian radio stations. My friends Karryn and her assistant Jacqui quit their regular jobs (in Adelaide, South Australia) to become professional Lego builders! They have spent the last couple of months building this soccer stadium to sell on ebay to the highest bidder. Karryn has an amazing mind, and came up with this design completely from scratch - no blueprints, no instructions, no designs, just her mind telling her where to put the next piece of Lego. It is now for sale on ebay, with a starting bid reserve set at $20,000.00! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LEGO-SOCCER-STADIUM...A1%7C240%3A1318 It's amazing what one brick can lead to. This soccer stadium is made with 22,466 pieces of Lego! It is completely equipped with fairy lights built into the design to give a nighttime ambience, and a fluorescent light to create a nighttime game. On either team's end you can peek into miniature gymnasiums complete with a bench press, a kiosk, and bathrooms. The soccer field itself has Lego soccer players, which you can actually use against a teammate to play an interactive game of soccer! Complete with a sliding roof, which totally encapsulates the stadium, this is one of the most technological pieces I have ever seen. I have no idea how Karryn has created this, but it is a true talent that I have ever had the luck of witnessing before! I'm sure most of you have seen many things like this, but it's all new to me! I'd really appreciate feedback as to whether you think it is overpriced or not., as it is the first piece they are trying to sell It is large, but not huge - but it has a lot of intricate detail - even down to the fact that the bathrooms are equipped with toilets and washbasins, yet this is not visible to the human eye as it is covered over! Check out the ebay link for photos! Thank you for your time Leonie - acting PR management
