Yeah those inflated FBA prices always look so good and then you realize what you net after fees and it ain't so good.

And some people call the other site feebay

I find the fees plus shipping on ebay/paypal is often comparable and sometimes higher than FBA fees.  It just seems like more since it is one big chunk versus three smaller bites.

The one good thing is, I didn't have to get off my keester to ship it.

For me this set has been solid, £97 buyin, I listed on Amazon ( FBM ) for £344.99 in Jan, I think I put about 12 up, sold 7 so far. One will just randomly sell when I randomly hit the lowest price.

Ebay price: roughly $275-$285 right now, $248 roughly after fees and roughly $10-$15 to ship. That leaves roughly $235-ish.

FBA lowest price is $324 right now, after fees you net $265. Cost to ship to amazon is roughly $5, so $260-ish.

I think Amazon.fr takes a bigger cut. I'd have to look it back up, but I seem to remember paying 30%.

You may want to try eurobricks or bricks to bothans or just about any other lego collecting  site.

I'm not trying to be non-welcoming but you're basically arguing against the whole point of this site. Lego INVESTING.

Good luck to you.  

This is not the site you're looking for. 

This silly discussion aged well.  Now look at me... scooping up 2, 4, 8 sets at a time! I've become the very evil I swore to destroy haha.

I only got 3..... 😁 👌 🤑

One was quite a while after retirement, a lady on ebay sold it for $225 but messaged me and said she meant to list it for $325. I said by all means cancel the sale, I felt bad! But she said "NO NO a sale's a sale" so she shipped it anyways.
