newbie77 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I think there are two different LEGO secondary markets...The US market and everybody else. The SSDs in Europe and the UK are not a consideration for US customers. Taking into consideration the currency conversion, import fees and taxes and shipping costs, a SSD from overseas will be close to $700(US). ed, looks like you are going to be correct on your statement that "there are not many held for resale" . i am seeing less than 17 listing in ebay? kind of surprised .. i expected lot more..

trekgate502 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 repeating my earlier post the cheapest on ebay is now slightly over $700. This means it has < $100 to reach the $800 goal. I think $800 for this year is highly conservative. 2 Quote
trekgate502 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 There are 62 for sale on Amazon Maybe this will be the RI 21110 in reverse of Amazon and eBay pricing. Quote

toycrazedchris Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Should i buy? No, you can't. That site is just linking to Target. Quote
flipsi Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 I just recently sold mine outside of EBAY for $625 to my pocket so if it was an EBAY this thing should have sold for $720 if I wanted to take into account the 14% ebay and paypal fees. This thing never had a problem finding a buyer. Listed on ebay for $699 got hammered with emails on the first day somehow found a way to contact local guy who emailed cancelled the listing since nobody bidded yet and sold to local guy for $625. I know I will still be regretting this sale someday, but its time to buy 4 GE's while its available retail at Lego. Quote
bdoubleg Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 finally took the plunge in uk - how long do european retirements normally lag behind US. Quote
holleman67 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 finally took the plunge in uk - how long do european retirements normally lag behind US. A few months to a year Quote
tractorboy Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 finally took the plunge in uk - how long do european retirements normally lag behind US. It varies from set to set. Sometimes sets get retired in the EU first. We don't know when it will retire in the EU, only that it will be soon enough, when stocks run out. Quote

bdoubleg Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 it will be interesting to see the time lag - just missed so many things thought i would get on with it. Quote
tguncurun Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 How dare you sell outside lord ebay... i was just wondering how many you have or if that was your last one? Quote
glucapg Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 still AVAILABLE NOW at LEGO Shop at Home Italy Quote
tractorboy Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 it will be interesting to see the time lag - just missed so many things thought i would get on with it. Yeah, better late than never. I'm hoping it will still be around for 2xVIP in October and I'll get another one or two, then I'm done. EU stocks could take a pounding if it's still around by then. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 It really is too bad this set retired in the US before double VIP this year. 1 Quote
MartinP Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 It really is too bad this set retired in the US before double VIP this year. People had their chance to get the SSD while double VIP points in April this year, but many people didn't and then were trying to buy them when they were in and out of stock throughout the summer.

I think that a lot of investors feared that the SSD would become the new Death star (staying in the place for ever), and prefered to wait for real signs of retirement. 1 Quote
