Martae54 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 $38 dollars for the pieces. Hell I have most of the odd colored pieces in one $20 set. Some of you know which set already! . Nothing special at all. Only a fool would buy at this price. But the world is full of them!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damnsanders Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Showed the wife the eBay sold listings for this and the giveaway train set she built with the kids during Christmastime last year...She says she's never building anything ever again. She is in disbelief. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I want to see how much a used set goes for and if the used market will decimate the new. At least I eBay and BrickLink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I eBay and BrickLink. Seems no one is interested in the used ones. I wonder who will start buying the expensive ones still on the market expecting them to double in price within a week? Guessing that the end game of the buyer is to unload them ay 80-100 USD undercutting the few sets that are still listed and then gradually upping the price but you need buyers for that too. One final point - you needed to spend 65 euros to get this set and it´s worth looking at how the items bought to get it are performing. If someone bought a 10188 Death Star or Red 5 at fulll whack, they´ll be losing money hand over fist on the whole deal.

TheGallows Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 wow suppose i'd better list some, i'd put these to the back of my mind and left them there. Does seem too much but hey ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martae54 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Bought 8 last nite from an eBay seller who has "choice" in his title. (He Still has other holiday sets in a group). He confirmed my payment and the boxes conditions last nite. Then Packed the items this morning, printed a label, then I guess double checked eBay for current prices and swiftly canceled my sale. Anything I can do aside from a Caps locked negative feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martae54 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Not really - I would suggest that you block the ebayer before you leave any negative.Great idea. Thanx man. I mean what an asshat!! He is Still trying to get me to believe he doesn't have a product that he boxed and printed the label for this AM. Not to mention confirmation of the sets condition in my eBay messages last night. Then he goes on to say he "may" have some in his warehouse,that He would check Monday!! Really?? So he cancels my sale rather than go look or even easier just wait to mail my item on Monday. I easily called BS. He won't respond now as he knows I have caught him in 2 lies already. He went on to say "I have perfect feedback" , which I guess he doesn't understand having 3 negative feedbacks (before mine) doesn't equal perfection. Oh well, would have been easy money. Obviously if he sells something under market value he will cancel your sale! Placing bets now they show up for sale in Missouri under another account! Or maybe even his.

It's usually always best to avoid getting into a back & forth (won't change things, and it will just make you feel worse). Make sure you avoid any comments that touch on neg feedback, as that is one way of that sellers can get negatives removed fairly easily (Feedback extortion).

Probably belongs on the R5 thread, but definitely haven't lost any money on that. They seem to be selling okay still in France. On topic: Just sold 3x GBH for 100 each in US. What IS the deal with this set right now? Seems sorta insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I have a combination of one 40139 GBH + one 5005156 Gingerbread Man minifig, trying to sell as combo as they fit perfectly together. Only have a €50 bid on Marktplaats for those together. Guess I could get a lot more for this combo-set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Donald Trump discovered Lego investing. He is testing the water with this set but I am sure his advisors will soon tell him to corner the Pet Shop market.

JoshB Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Do you think this thing will increase in value as we get closer to the Christmas season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of doubt it. There was apparently a big run on this set this week as someone (or multiple people) bought them up to corner the market. I just don't see the end consumer paying more. Also, many of these sets will be returned. I think I had about five returned last year due to "too small", and these were probably sold for around $100 each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would list any sets right now, in the middle of this bizarre Gingerbread-fest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
