supergman Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Just listed some sets on Ebay (first time really selling anything as I am basically a lego hoarder it seems), sold my only two of these things within minutes of listing; crazy. Pre-ordered 5 from TRU-CA, wish they were in the US; way cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Just listed some sets on Ebay (first time really selling anything as I am basically a lego hoarder it seems), sold my only two of these things within minutes of listing; crazy. Pre-ordered 5 from TRU-CA, wish they were in the US; way cheaper. Everything's cheaper didn't you know? At least it is according to one exhalted member... What did you list them for? I ordered another batch from TRU so I dropped the price on my current listing to move the last 5 I was planning on keeping and no bites. I wonder of they're selling on Amazon... Oh, speedsausage, where are you? Still selling any on Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I dont think speedsausage qualified for holiday selling on amazon, so we won't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergman Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Sold one for 52, the other for 61. Many seem to be in the upper 40 range, be it auction or buyitnow. The fees, though, are insane; don't know how some of you get people to outright spend so much more for things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, speedsausage, where are you? Still selling any on Amazon? Nope. I didn't qualify for selling during the Christmas season. Honestly I hadn't even planned on selling this year then these things popped up. I'll be prepared for the Amazon season next year though.

speedsausage Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Actually there isn't any listed there atm. When seapotatoe and I removed our listings, the last listed price I saw was approx. $140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedsausage Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I haven't seen a 76023 tumbler listed there either. If you're qualified for Amazon.ca, I'm sure you could sell those for a decent price on there too, unless there is a reason why there aren't any listed??

ChristopherJB Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Any Canadians living in burnaby, surrey or poc co? If you have your TRU $15 gift card, today is the day you use it. Don't bother with richmond or vancouver. I cleaned the shelves. There is an item that you can buy in canada and flip in the US for 100-200% profit. Send me a pm and if i happen to see your message, I will reply before TRU is closed. There is a specific item on fire sale. It is a hot item in the US. 100% profit is from a $30msrp. Next year, will triple. Do your DD. If you don't like me and won't msg me, get something else cheaper. Load up all the hello kitty at $9.99 and flip at $20.

lego rules Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have a hard time believing tru.ca will actually get a huge amount of these. Lego stores have been getting very limited stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bricketycricket Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I have not ordered more of these because it looks like they are returning with a vengeance. Still unsure if I'll get a couple more, I'm sure they'll make money again but who knows how long it'll be until the supply dwindles again.

Still unsure if I'll get a couple more, I'm sure they'll make money again but who knows how long it'll be until the supply dwindles again. Yeah, I skipped. There might be money to be made, but there are perhaps better fish to fry at the moment. Since they are also back in the EU I think they'll be here for a bit...and Christmas was probably the best time to unload. Now I'd guess next Christmas will be a decent time to unload (obviously depending on the size and numbers of the run) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricketycricket Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yeah I'm going to wait and see how things go. The other thing to remember is that these have generally been much easier to find in Canada than in the US and other places, so if that trend continues, we can afford to be a bit more reactive. I'm pretty confident I can get my hands on these if they suddenly spike again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
