Agsimpson13 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 New to the Lego Investment Community. I have been a seller on Ebay for about 15 years. So I am always looking for new angles. My wife accuses me of being a hoarder and compulsive shopper. At heart I am a flipper and not an investor, although I have hoarded about 400 Monster High Dolls. I probably have a few dozen Lego sets in storage along with my dolls and various other "junk" as my wife calls it. Twenty Fallout 3 Collectors editions are not junk!!! Nor my Wii Mario Allstars!!! We moved to Indonesia a couple of years ago and now live in Jakarta. Although I am now financially secure...I can't stop "hustling" as I call it. Lego has become my latest thing. We have a Lego Store and a few decent toy stores. Pricing on most Lego tends to be 100 percent higher than in the U.S.. But I manage to find some deals...we still have series 1 Mixels which I am hoarding and bought a few ToO for 165.00. And ship online deals to my brother in New Orleans...Man I miss K-mart!!! My wife thanks the members for creating a Lego Fiend. 2 Quote
Sandwraith Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Welcome! Series 1 Mixels are always a great treat to find at retail Quote
@rtisan Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 People like you are awesome, period. I`ve met quite a few folks in my time who have massive piles of stuff in their basements/garages/etc. It`s like a museum without the admission. Do what you love doing, then keep doing it I say. Oh and ah, welcome to the site! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Welcome to the site, Agsimpson13.Man I miss K-mart!!!I didn't think I would but after my only one closed a couple years, I feel the same way. The deals weren't that super but at least there were any to find. Quote
Agsimpson13 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 My dolls and the rest of my "Collection" are all in storage as a result of moving to Jakarta. For me the Monster High party is over....watered down by so many releases. I have almost all first generation dolls, which many have appreciated quite significantly. Many up 300-500 Percent. Toralei regularly sells for 100+...17.99 buy in. Although I am a flipper, what I also do for items I feel will appreciate is flip until my "hold inventory" is paid for then store my "paid for" items. Never fooled with Ever After...Although I do have a Lot of Strawberry Shortcake...LOL. Quote
Guest JazzyJeffie Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Welcome to the forum. Wow, I envy you for having a Lego Store in Jakarta.. In Manila, the Lego Store is still in the works. Do you also have flea markets there? Sent from my SM-G900F using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
ravenb99 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Welcome to the site. Great price on ToO! Quote
Zakster Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Welcome to the site Agsimpson13! I you are enjoying life in Jakarta. Visited there around 3 years ago... exciting place. If the Legos there are selling for 100% above the US, you can continue to "hustle" over there by buying low from the US and selling for a tidy profit! Quote
