Guest TabbyBoy Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 13 hours ago, Val-E said: When someone rocks up with a current stock of more than 100, I will be impressed. The fact of the matter is that this is set is probably less hoarded now than 21309 Apollo, simply because supply was so tight and it was not a priority buy for the 99-of-everything-lot. Many, like Tabby sold too soon and now have plenty of time to regret that. The biggest threat to appreciation right now is dear Amazon making promises to fulfil that they can´t and won´t keep - see also Bionicle 2HY 2016. It was perfect timing actually as all the profit went on Ethereum coins (ETC) at around £10 each and they're now worth £200(ish) each even after the weekend crash. I'm also cashing half out when they reach £300 again. Where else can I get 20x in 6 months? If I hadn't sold those sets, I'd have missed the boat that gave me over £15K profit so far in 2017 for doing nothing. Of course, it's very volatile, but it's my new "game" ;-) Lego is nearly as risky as it's often a lot of work to recover outlay with the "hope" of making a profit. What I do now isn't affected by competition or QFLLs. If "whales" dump on the market, I simply buy. And... trading fees are often less than 0.25% !!! Regrets? Hmmm... let me think about that for a minute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 41176 Secret Market Place is now selling for over RRP after fees. Not bad for those that got them from LEGO at 50% off before EOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made money selling 20 of the baby dragons and now I'm down to two of these sets. I'm also waiting for Christmas to maximise profits. And I'm hoping the Czech guy on Bricklink which still has 26 of these for € 102 sells out soon. Those Czech sets have disappeared - for now. Still several Euro sellers on BL but just one USD listing left at 200$! Edited September 4, 2017 by Val-E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm greedy and hoping for more than that. Still a long way to go to Christmas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what this set will do at Xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leveller Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yup, as I expected they came back in stock again. Ho-hum.You were right. But if you look at the sold items you do see a sale for a quantity of 11 sold for € 102. The 8 boxes in Netherlands have disappeared though. I guess somebody's been reading this thread.

OrangeChiliPeP Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I‘m very happy that I found one of these gems in a local toy store. I paid 47,20€ and it was the last set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 4x RRP on Amazon.com (same price as Pet Shop) and pushing 3 on the European platforms. Only Ekimu, the Money Maker is performing better from last year´s sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickolodon Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Will you buy it for 85 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not fast sellers so it is a big risk to pay well over RRP as kids will forget about these very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The 41176 Marketplace was a good buy from LEGO last year when reduced to £24.99. I bought “n” amount of them and will probably offload Jan/Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
