Baby wind dragon? Is that what you call a baby with really bad gas?

35 USD on Amazon.com and marked with "Amazon Choice" logo. 

Even better in Europe, where it is up to 37 euros!

Not doing quite as well as 41178 but that´s a hell of a performance nonetheless.

Sold a bunch for $40, it's dropped a bit.

I’ve been doing well with most 4117x sets. Elves has been a little overlooked by some and I prefer it to Friends.

Indeed. Most Elves at 50% off (in USA anyway) have been a no-brainer.

I did very well last year when SaH had 41176 Secret Market Places at 50% off (£24.99), I placed 5 orders of 10 and I sold all 50 within the last month for >£60. I'm being a little more careful this year and will ask the opinion of my mate's 2 young daughters I know before buying big again. They've given me good tips so far so another free LEGO set for them! ;-)

The 41122 Friends Tree Houses at 50% off went well to, hence my recent order from Boots.

Great things come to those that "think outside the box".

Got "a few" of these from a "few" asda stores for £3.30 earlier in the year.  Been selling them for about £30.  Also paid full rrp when i found more kicking about in other stores.

4 sellers on Amazon US, 11 on Bricklink, is inventory really that dry or are people holding a bunch? How is it doing in the EU?

3 on Amazon UK, few more on ebay. Yes rare, but the problem is finding buyers who will pay over £40. An 8 year-old can be persuaded with a much bigger set for that kind of money.

There were a whole bunch still in stores here last summer but now the well is dry.

As mentioned, it´s a bit like Gingerbreadhouse where there has a theoretically high value but it is hard to sell for that without any hype. Buyers are likely to be expecting a bigger set and that could cause problems after reception. 

A lot of people are bundling them with the other baby dragon sets as a workaround.

eBay UK showing
1 @ £31,
1 @ £35,
1 @ £42,

then a couple at wetdream prices of  £70 + 

Its been selling around £30.  My last few have sold at above £30.

Dilemma:  Do i up price to the £40 range?  I have sold at £40 before but is it an unrealistic price for a £8.99 rrp set that I only got 9 months ago?

BIN best offer?

[Villager Chris]

Wait for a £1 selling fee, then go for what you're happy with. But even the lowest price doesn't guarantee a sale. Buyers are canny.

Forgot about that.  Will try that.

Got plenty of £1 FVF left.  One batch is going to end in 3 days, and the last batch will end in 9 days. Whenever the £1FVF is on, I list 100 items even if they are placeholders for changing later ie 41009 or 41010 for £50 each.
