| | Was looking to buy as many as I could from any source/site, within a given price
range, a certain LEGO item...
This particular vendor had sold many (being myself, late to the game) with only
two remaining available to buy within the listing. So I bought the two remaining
and paid the shipping, thinking the price made the shipping cost of the two well
worth it. I then noticed the vendor loaded a further two to the listing with
a one dollar increase each, so I bought them. Again evaluating the costs as within
my range. After which, the vendor loaded another two with a further one dollar
increase in price, and again I bought those.
This pattern repeats itself up to today’s purchase...
Now, all five transactions fall within my targeted acquisition price, so I’m
good. That said, while USPS has made out like a bandit as I hope did the vendor,
if the seller only would have contacted me after the first or second buy and
stated their total inventory and desired price for said inventory, I surely would
have bought all in a single transaction. At the very least, dividing the USPS
and packaging costs between us, buyer and vendor.
Okay, I could have and indeed would have, made the move myself had the item not
been underpriced to begin with. You deal hunters know what I'm talking about
Just some fun and candid thoughts being shared

I would have asked him after the first time how many he had and what he wanted
for them.

| ... So you changed your mind on closing the store like I changed my mind on offloading
my loose bricks.
