Have you seen this happen before? It's already happened to me several times as I recall whenever there's an MOC that uses an otherwise useless/lame part that really looks good. BL would have that part dirt cheap and plentiful before the MOC and then suddenly the part becomes scarce and expensive.
I know that before the Theed Palace Hallway was posted, the tan solid pillar was cheap and plentiful (one store had hundreds of them). A week or so after posting, they're gone! :evil:
And I was about to order some for another MOC that I was planning for. Oh well, I sure hope to see a lot of MOCs using these parts in the near future. *You know who you are. *
Ha. I know what you mean. I was looking on BL one week and saw pointed Lgray visors dirt cheap for 50 cents. I didn't get aound to asking my parents if I could buy until three or four days later. They agreed since it was a fair price thenI got on BL and saw that the visors had gone up $1.00 a piece. And of courese my parents said I couldn't buy any. Well that's my sad sad story.
Yeah I know what your talking about. I was going to bid on a 6057, but thought it would go for to much. Just like all had done in the past, so I didnt bid. I found out later that it only went for $11.00! I am so mad! :evil:

That's true! If it wasn't, I'd make tons of money by buying and reselling the parts. It was probably just a coincidence that it happened, but I was really just venting about it.
I once wanted to do a group order from Bricks4you when he had his 50% sale, and wanted to get some bread. I left for half an hour and the bread was gone! 400 loaves of it! Oh well, I still got 20 light grey Euro visors for $0.35, and latticed windows for $0.20!
