Locutus001 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 The way I see it the Advent Calendars might be a good investment for the U.S.A. but here in Europe they are poor performers. Even the 2014 Calendar with Darth Christmas Vader didn't really increase to a value where I think it's profitable. Quote

chubz Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 i only have 2 SW 2015 Calendars thinking about selling them both this season and not holding on to them Quote
justapilgrim Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I just bought all the minifigures off ebay ($25 shipped free) so I can sell the one set I wanted to keep (I only wanted the minifigures) Quote
jaisonline Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Picked up another one for MSRP. Flipped it only after 2 hours for $63 shipped. I broke my own promise to stop buying them. Supply vs demand will begin fading soon so flip these hotcakes like there's no tomorrow. 1 Quote

hockeyweasel Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 DId all of the Amazon sellers suddenly move over to eBay? Price for North America BIN was up to $63 and plunged overnight to $48 with the overwhelming majority of sellers having stores. I had cracked page 2 and now I'm back to the middle of page 3. Quote
justapilgrim Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Holiday shipping on amazon restrictions start today or tomroow Quote

Expand Yep. Like I have said. The worst part about having all these new sellers isn't the number it is that 99% of them are low ballers and bottom feeders happy to break even. Quote

jaxman Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Some may stay and go the FBA route rather than move to ebay. Probably not a great number, but some. Quote

I figured, it was people that didn't make the cut trying to ditch their stock before they were kicked out. Although, I thought that was supposed to happen today, but browsing through amazon this morning, I don't see any changes. Quote

Bold-Arrow Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I personally think , and obviously it is a bias opinion , that folks switching to FBA and learning the ropes so close to Christmas is a horrible idea. My 2 unwelcomed cents . 4 Quote

labfreak7 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I don't think there will be a dramatic change in the number of sellers once the restrictions kick in. It is getting close to BF so everyone is coming out of the woodwork now to list their stuff. The prices on Amazon will continue to be where they are at until people start to run out of stock on whatever they are selling. If the big box stores keep in stock, then it will be a race to the bottom. Last year was a very lackluster bf, and I expect this year to be the same. The days of making multiple trips to the post office after the big shopping day are over . Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 CM was one of my best selling days last year . Folks buy into the hyp, e and after putting thanksgiving behind them , it is time to shop . Quote
jerryherb Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) im a small shop but after BF last year 30+ boxes a day was a norm. this year i got a van for that Edited November 17, 2015 by jerryherb Quote
Moppy Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 A little off topic but... When you ship these do you just wrap it in paper or do you put it in another box then ship it? Quote

Guest Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I moved 4 today on ebay for 65 despite the lowballers. They were all repeat customers. I guess sometimes reputation does matter more than price. Quote
