Vodium Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Lowest shipping charge for me is ~$50, the pains of living in a rural area. Quote

I guess you went straight to the creator line? to see what was available.. I clicked on the streetview promo, and only a few showed up. Quote
kd123 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I avoided the sets where a shipping fee was involved. Has anyone had any success selling those bricktober sets? 1 Quote

emonster Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 My Mastercard is RED HOT!!! Don't even want to know how much I spent! I even had a denial so I had to call MC to tell them it was not suspicious activity. Quote

emonster Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 That's it for me ! Go at it guys, there seems to be a lot of stock. Just now, lego rules said: When you spend several thousand a few times, they don't flag you anymore. When I called, I asked the lady to get rid of that security check Quote
lego rules Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I stopped at 12 orders for now. Will need time to unload the bricktober sets. Quote
redghostx Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Just picked up the last Toy Shop. Thanks for the heads up. Sandcrawler is worth buying if you are looking at getting these with a discount. Quote

lego rules Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 looks like all three smaller sets are now OOS. Hopefully we get everything without an issue! Quote
emonster Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I am getting confirmations ... usually it takes longer to get confirmations, they must have added some staff for this "event" 1 Quote

I have sold four complete sets from the streetview promo before Xmas. Couple on ebay for $99 shipped, one on Brick Classifieds for $89 shipped and one on kijiji locally for $65 cash. I had one left before this sweet little event. These have a better piece count and are bigger boxes than the '14 Bricktober sets and are pretty cool. Of course, now I have to compete with you lot to sell them, but it is still a good discount even if we undercut each other to $75 shipped 2 Quote

kd123 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 we are partners in crime when we share good deals but competitors when we sell, undercutting each other to dwindling returns that might actually force me to build one of these shabby free sets lol. How appropriate would it be to discuss maintaining prices at a profitable levels here? Quote

kd123 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 got it, won't go there again. Newbie question. Quote

Apart from being illegal, price fixing only works if all parties selling agree on a price, so even if everyone here on Brickpicker would follow some sort of guideline, everyone else in the world wouldn't. Basically only big corporations that have VERY little competition can and do, fix prices. Edited February 17, 2016 by emonster Quote
sqlplus Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I usually don't undercut, I simply sell same price as other and make sure to offer the best service possible. 1 Quote
