For FedEx, you are billed at a later date to your Ebay invoice. Beware: this can be up to a month later and I have found that a minimum of 4 dollars per package gets added as a "miscellaneous fee." This is long after your buyer has their lego set.

What is up with this miscellaneous fee? I used to use Fedex on eBay because it appeared to be cheaper than USPS but then I got boned on the monthly invoice with those fees.

I haven't seen one in store in months. I think someone said that some stores were keeping them in the back room because they took up too much shelf space. I know they had the decoy boxes for awhile.

I remember seeing decoy boxes for sets like the 10189 Taj Mahal. If Lego stores were keeping them in the back room because it was taking up a lot of shelf space, why would they put a decoy box that is the same size? It takes up the same amount of space. My guess is that they just have them in the back and if someone asks for one, they bring it out.

Research, man, you could've saved at least $30 shipping that thing. $83 is outrageous.

For anyone thinking about selling a SSD now under the current conditions I'll share this. I bought six sets in the last week before it was gone but could really only afford four. Two boxes were a bit dinged up so I decided to ebay them rather than return. Thought I could make $100 each or so. Someone hit the buy it now at $650. Ebay and pp fees were $85 which I expected but the killer was UPS insured from NC to Utah was $83! The set was $426 with tax from amazon so that only leaves $56 in profit. Really not worth the trouble. I'm going to move some smaller sets rather than sell the other one, these need to fetch at least $800 to make it worthwhile. 

 

I can see why it went up to 650 so fast. Any less than that and I would not have made anything.

The thing is that resellers will gobble up this last production run. Then we will see a glut of them on the after market for the next year or so at $650 - 800. When you figure in shipping such a giant collectors set and fees it doesn't really seem worth it.
