newbie77 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 amazon @ 999.90 + SH is 1K in my book. let the sellers fight over price to thin out the stock. not many people have this and the price keeps rising at a steady pace. $1200-$1500 xmas 2015 looks very likely.my personal thinking is that there is a decent supply hanging around. yes it sells but the volume is not that great about 2->3 every 2 weeks. we still have over 50 sellers listed @ amazon. i just think that we should have less than 20 sellers for this to get to $1500 or higher. that means a lot of supply needs to be absorbed. from now to nov. at least over 100.

And after that the patient ones kick in. People who have been waiting for stock to dry. I think growth will remain. But more slow the more time passes. Quote
vmnlogan Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 The question to me is whether the Executor is a one-of-a-kind ship or have other SSDs been constructed? Who else in the Empire would have been powerful/influential enough to warrant one? If the ship is unique, we may never see another SSD of any scale again.i say that, but just watch: micro fighter series 3 SSD with Darth mini fig... Quote
tractorboy Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 The good thing about the SSD is that it's scale makes it difficult to make a set of anything but a large display model. It's not very minifig friendly that way. I think Lego only produced it because they kind of had to do some kind of SSD at some point, and a big UCS model is really the only way to go. Even at UCS size the details are still be too small to be of any real interest. I doubt we'll ever see a mid-sized set of this ship. 1 Quote

People should just chill out and enjoy the ride to higher value ...and stop thinking what if what that. Pour yourselves a glass or red wine and enjoy the show.... Quote

None of them accomplish anything more than the Executor though. Total waste of Imperial taxpayer's money. Even the DS 2 shot down a couple Rebel cruisers before blowing up. Quote

No More Monkeys Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Let's talk about scale for a minute...Disney should totally build a mall or something of that size... and in shape of SSD Quote

GhostDad Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 So...Disney should just buy the island of Manhattan?Given Manhattan real estate values, Disney could build a SSD for less than it would cost to buy Manhattan. As an added bonus, they wouldn't have to deal with DeBlasio... 2 Quote

BearCrash Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Someone's just bought one on BL for €1300. Quote
Bluetoon Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) My guess is the the seller is also the buyer and is trying to goose the market to a higher level.. Edited September 10, 2015 by Bluetoon Didn't go through the first time. Quote
wceagles Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Someone's just bought one on BL for €1300.nice!! highest sold one in Aus that i know of is 1490aud in late august (rrp was 700aud but there was opportunity to buy it for substantial discount when amazon shipped to Oz and our dollar was stronger). of current listings, BIN starts at 1600aud although there is one listing for 1700 that has 17 units left in stock.at this rate should be 2000aud for xmas easily Quote
BearCrash Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 My guess is the the seller is also the buyer and is trying to goose the market to a higher level..And pay €39 Bricklink fees? I'm not saying it's not possible but I just don't see how this would accomplish anything. Quote
Val-E Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 My guess is the the seller is also the buyer and is trying to goose the market to a higher level..yup cos one didn´t sell for 599 auction minimum bid..... Quote
BearCrash Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 My guess is the the seller is also the buyer and is trying to goose the market to a higher level..I guess you're right. The sale has disappeared from BL. Quote
BrickLegacy Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Starting to see sales approach $1k+ on eBay. This should be a fun ride the next couple of months. 1 Quote
Val-E Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Starting to see sales approach $1k+ on eBay. This should be a fun ride the next couple of months. The 599 euros one´s auction ends in 1h - maybe an opportunity for a brave bidder who believes it will hit 1k. 1 Quote
Guest Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 At some point it will get too expensive for me to trust ebay and amazon buyers and I will only sell in person for cash. Quote
Val-E Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 At some point it will get too expensive for me to trust ebay and amazon buyers and I will only sell in person for cash.You can still sell on ebay without paypal..... Quote
iahawks550 Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 You can still sell on ebay without paypal.....I think the point is that no matter what the method of payment, selling an expensive item on Ebay has certain fraud risks that are completely out of your control. Quote
chipbee Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 At some point it will get too expensive for me to trust ebay and amazon buyers and I will only sell in person for cash.i have quite a few people, on separate occasions, asking me about this set in Asia, and they are happy to pay usd 1k for new set. I figured that by dec when new movie is released, the price will easily exceed 1k mark. 1 Quote
