I'm not sure that would be allowed to be honest, wouldn't that be advertising?
Anyway, I look forward to receiving my new f1 car :-)

Shame I didn't sell it a week or so earlier - I could have delivered it it you in person, as I was in your neck of the woods smile

I wouldn't worry about it, it was a decent price anyway. I always pay straight away on ebay, it's just one more thing to forget otherwise!

Well this is the eternal problem with online stuff I suppose.

When do members of a friendly community become faceless profiteers.

There has to be a happy medium somewhere where the community can just self-moderate for the communities benefits.


But maybe a discussion for another topic smile

Yes it would be easy enough to work it out between ourselves, but what I was thinking is that the mods don't usually like you putting a link for your advert up, nevermind having a thread dedicated to it...

Well I want to get rid of all mine, and I'd rather let it go for half as much to a fellow local PH'er who'd come pick it up and genuinely wants it, rather than another faceless eBay'er who'll snipe it, screw other genuine buyers, and then profiteer from retailing the kits all separately for maximum profit for them and eBay.

Is there any way we could have a Lego section on PH classifieds? Somehow?!

Alex seems you won, pincher thanks for getting me on eBay. I ended up buying an 8109 I had no need for, so result!

Well if you have an 8109, I'll gladly give it a proper home and you can even visit it next year to prove I've still got it hehe

The biggest one is 42043: Mercedes Benz Arocs 3245, which will be about £170

Also the 42042: Crawler Crane is quite big, around £100
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BmrlvHU5Lg

Both should be out around August.
