Here's something that's more a general observation than a positive or negative.
It seems to me that large lots don't necessarily sell as well as smaller lots or individual pieces. I'm sure that some of this is because of "vast wall of my kid's old junk" that some sellers present. However, I wonder if there's an intimidation factor at work too. Yes, in and among that giant pile of Trackmaster 1 track and those 20 Thomases in various states of disrepair are some gems. But to the buyer who is maybe not an avid collector, will they avoid a huge lot because of the expense and sheer size?
