Boston Craigslist Finds

Pretty good deal in the Boston area for this Lego storage lot. I was thinking about it but I decided the the drive wasn't worth it today.

I don't think all the pictures were taken in the same house, actually I believe I saw image 18 and 19 in a post from Miami area.

[Poly 30286]

Yikes! I did think there was quite a variety of bedding. What do you think would happen? Robbery?

[Huskers1236]

Those same pictures were posted here as well.  Scam all the way.  Contact the person and see if they are still moving from Omaha.  Story has undoubtedly changed for your area.

All I got was a price of $100 each (for HH and modulars) and "my mom's number" to text. She would be available today.

Same story as I got.  They also said their "brother" had a 10179 for $800 that was not pictured.  That was when my spidey senses really went up and they quit getting back to me when I pressed for a time and location.

What if they're just trying to spam "mom's" cell phone? That's a lousy prank

They aren't. They're stringing you along. We've seen it many times before.

[Poly 30286]

Well then, @Alpinemaps, what would be the objective of this scam seller? Bullying? Actual theft? TLG going into deep cover mode to find resellers and/or encourage flow of business back to legitimate retailers? 

It all just makes me sad.

This was going around Craigslist St. Louis last month. BEWARE!

They will eventually ask you to wire money with the promise that they will mail it to you because they just moved out of town, or their kids posted it all over the country.

[MarleyMoose]

Thought I'd put this one up.

10181 Eiffel Tower for $450 but no instructions or box.

This one too Taj Mahal 10189  for $850

Without instructions/box, you have to assume he BL'ed it so it's not really a deal unless you like paying people to make you sets. In my mind, if the person seems to claim that they are a serious collector, they would have known to at least keep the manuals.

And if you care for true authenticity, you have to check if some of those Taj Mahal pieces are the original versions and not the newer molds.

If you're looking for a lot of Minifigures...

Seems like a possible great deal for someone closer. I haven't gotten a reply yet on availability. Hope one of you can get this.

Oh wow. That's a decent haul but sadly, too far far away.

This just posted on Facebook marketplace. Good deal if you’re close by.
