Popular Post Phil B Posted March 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ok - nobody who participated in the above conversation is EVER, EVER allowed to complain that EBay/Paypal fees are too high, even if they go up to 25%. You know it is too good to be true, and still you order. Unless you're just going to take your loss, you are going to get EBay/Paypal to make it right, which in the end costs us all money. Thanks. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Why buy cheap MMs when you can get a new Boeing for $12 instead? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-10177-787-Dreamliner-New-in-Sealed-Box-dgedg-/252795912036?hash=item3adbcf7f64:g:F4MAAOSw32lYuS0C I can always find listings like these. Stop biting on this crap and try reporting it instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickStanley74 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 ^ Agreed. It's crazy how they can just rip all the auction details and pics from the real Dreamliner listing to make their own fake ones http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-10177-787-Dreamliner-New-in-Sealed-Box/252795538886?

Pebble&Park Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 This one moving up the charts lately as well - up to $137.99 as the current low price with < 50 sellers. Keeping a decent rank as it climbs as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padolski Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Why is no one interested in this set? Aesthetically it looks great, not too expensive when compared to say bat cave. i have two of these and ready to sell as a bundle with mystery machine.

They've performed really well for me as have Mystery Machines and even Mystery Planes. All bought in Tesco 3 for 2 offers. Averaging 3x buy in.

John82 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Yup the return for this has been excellent for us in the UK with our buy-ins. This and the T-Rex tracker have even continued to rise during the summer slump. Edited July 18, 2017 by John82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padolski Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I bought my first one for SGD$110 2 months ago and this weekend picking one up for SGD$100. That's 56 pounds only... the local market here prices are low cos bogus bricks is more rampant. So I'll post up for 100 pound equivalent and see if they sell on eBay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNH1974 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Admittedly I only got 3 of these sealed because I kept parting them out last year expecting at least a two year run. It does look like due to the unexpected EOL that the initial prices for the entire line over shot somewhat during the first 3 months of this year. It will be interesting how they do over this Christmas, New Year period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padolski Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I've been selling the Mystery Mansion as per below: Bundle 1: 75904, 75903 & 75902 and Bundle 2: 75900 to 75904 (all SD line) Do you think it is better to sell seperately or continue to sell as per above? Appreciate the thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padolski Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi Val-E, Selling on eBay: Bundle 1 - I've sold about 4 now between a range of $280 - $300 AUD ( 215-230 USD) Bundle 2 - I've sold one so far for $370 AUD (285 USD) most recently. Im worried that the smaller mystery plane and museum won't sell well unless they are bundled? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBay sales are generally £37.50 unless some numpty lists cheap. When I list one it's usually gone within a few days. Not bad for a set with an average £9 buy in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices for the others have probably topped out so might as well sell thim together. Any buyer also wantig a MM can be offered a "very special price".

I think I've deliberately priced myself out as i'm too lazy to sell these yet.

I think I've deliberately priced myself out as i'm too lazy to sell these yet. Got other bigger fish to dispense of first like the Fallen Kingdom sets The problem is that various branches of Asda had this set for £5 and therefore a lot of sellers can sell for just over RRP and still make good money. It's called competion I'm afriad and this phenomenon will not go away. Personally, I managed to get most of my Mystery Planes for around £8 and my Mystery Machines for around £12 and I flipped dozens for RRP within days of EOL. We could also complain about the 21309 Saturn V rockets being sold too cheap when LEGO and JL were OOS (like right now), but stupid sellers are happy with £10 profit when £50 should be easy if they set their prices higher. Yes, it's a race to the bottom like most resold items these days. BTW... How did you manage to get hold of the Fallen Kingdon sets so early or is this foresight?

Just my weird sense of humour....its the Jurassic World sets that will be rehashed to Fallen Kingdom. Really wanted to hold onto these for another year to stick to my two year cycle. I'm only joking regarding ppl should raise prices. Everyone has different circumstances and sell according their own needs. My prices are higher than most on the SD range as not really got the time to sell these. Want to clear other stuff like LotR / Hobbit / Harry Potter / previous Disney Cars / 4 digit SW sets / 4 digit Friends / Elves + alot of non-lego toys. If i had your ability to flip like that i'd do it but I cant (or too lazy or afraid to try) hence why we have a different selling strategy.

Raised prices are good for all sellers, but competition will soon undercut - that's the nature of a healthy marketplace. Just as well that we have different strategies and local markets since we do compete, right? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had my last one near at £40 but too many people below. My usual pricing rule is 2nd cheapest bin with fast & free delivery. If an item sells within a few days of listing I raise price for next one.
