If you are flying in a hot air balloon and you know air is slowly leaking, either you land safely or you risk making your destination and possibly crashing. 110 for something that was literally worthless is not a bad day´s work for those that misses the earyl September gold rush.

gregpj Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I took my $5 and never looked back I opened mine and used the extra 1x1 orange plates for my custom Mini Cooper and never looked back. It's sitting in bags that have been taped shut. 1 Quote
Vader888 Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Darn, I feel like a fool for recently selling a set for a measly $55 CDN to someone on Kijiji. Can't believe there are buyers paying over $100 USD!!! Quote

My lowest sale for the 40139 was €20 back in 2015. But I did sell the 40138 Christmas train for even less than €15. Though that set now only reaches around €22 here so that's not a big loss. Sold my last 40139 for €65 (including the Gingerbread Man minifig to sweeten the deal). The current peaking rate for 40139 in The Netherlands is €55 but there are sets sold for less than €40 as well.

Might also be that, at least on eBay, there were ~20ish listings at the start of the month and then jumped to about ~60ish listings after the spike hit. Now prices are dropping and there are almost 90 listings. People might be eager to get some kind of profit than to get lost in the growing crowd. Quote

At least what happened has made people show their hands and there is still plenty of stock out there. Edited September 28, 2017 by Val-E Quote

If that´s true, they ought to have read the LE Crawler thread. Best piece of free education on Lego investing out there. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 LOL - I give all my promo sets and polybags away to "nice" customers. I always have and it's led to lots of fee-free repeat business. Of course, I still have my stash of Gingerbread Houses and Snow Globes ;-) Quote

Val-E Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 It´s well bedded in at 123$ with 43 sellers now on Amazon.com. Quote
bagalux Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Sold one on eBay for £75 last week. Nice. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I forgot about mine, I need to dig them out from that dark corner in the attic if I can remember which dark corner it is! I think I have about 5 or so. I may list one on my remaining private eBay account and see what it fetches with a 1p start ;-) Quote

It's the buy box that matters (most customers don't even think about other offers). Edited October 13, 2017 by biking_tiger Quote
conceptmachine Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Ill sell all mine for 60 and be happy. Im too busy to deal with it. I think i have 6 or 10 of them. Pick up only Edited October 13, 2017 by conceptmachine Quote
Calgary Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 I’d buy all of them if you shipped. Name the price 1 Quote
Val-E Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Aaaand back down to 65 USD again thanks to AWD! Quote
Sfcommando14 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Aaaand back down to 65 USD again thanks to AWD! Fishing for negativity? We call that an outlier... 2 Quote
Val-E Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Of course but the 154 USD one is also an outlier when you have 8 sellers shipping for less. When there is a queue of people who just click on the first thing Amazon shows them, without thinking or due diligence, the sky is the limit. Quote
Val-E Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Time for a pricewatch. Cheapest FBA 90 USD, non FBA 74 USD, 52 sellers. Basically back to what it was like before Facebook lady got involved. Good luck to those who bought at a premium and didn´t sell quickly enough. 1 Quote
