andyposterfan Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Don't be confident. John Lewis don't reduce things unless it's to match someone else / another major retailer. so if no one major is selling it for less then don't expect any genrosity from them. i wouldnt recommend buying from them anyway, their packaging is appealing and store stock is usually beaten up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was one set which was bound to do better in UK than US due to the car being more well known here. Whilst it isnt performing amazing, RRP was £80, discounted to £55 in the boxing day sale 2 years ago (£55) now selling on ebay for minimum of £115.

Doesn't sound that good for UK either. Edited December 23, 2019 by Frank Brickowski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´ll take that any day over Adventure Time and predict Voltron won´t get neat that appreciation in the same time frame. Yellow Sub was the one to go for that year.

It was $100 before the great Christmas Seller Rush of 2019 which dropped prices on a lot of listings. It'll climb back up to ~$100 soon. Still not a brilliant return by any stretch of the imagination. I might part mine out instead of selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship in a Bottle seems to be doing alright. Up to £90 here already (RRP £70) on eBay despite being available for 30% off in the Black Friday sale. Three of those and a Christmas tree promo (plus double VIP) were £146.97, and they didn't seem to sell out that quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to do well in the US & UK, but here it's still about 15% of RRP on eBay... I really hope it picks up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it didn't rise to expectations. Prices stabilised at £60 in the UK. Not a great ROI after fees + postage etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
