LEGO City Fire 60110: Fire Station Mixed

[Plejades]

Hello all, 

I have an offer to buy 3x sealed MINT LEGO City Fire 60110 for a total of 120 Euros. I am not a particular fan of LEGO City sets but thought maybe this is an interesting reselling opportunity. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

That´s the selling price here too so nothing special. It won´t rise much when it retires due to remakes so you will only make money if it sells out at xmas.

You could make say,  €12 per set (NOT guaranteed of course!) if you flipped them immediately, but I don't think its worth keeping them as it'll be refreshed soon enough. Personally, I wouldn't bother for such a small profit. One recently sold in the UK for £41 (under half RRP) plus £7.60 P&P which would've left no profit after fees especially since you'll also need 3 boxes and the time to pack them. It's your cal, but I'd walk away ;-)

The days of a run-of-the-mill (VERY available) LEGO set at -50% or even -60% is no longer a sure thing as the competition is just too steep and demand just isn't what it was.

I'll bet you €10 right now that this set will never reach RRP in the aftermarket.

5th best selling set of 2016, BTW so I got 2 from 5 in my own predictions.

Bought mainly by/for kids? I can't see AFOLs wanting this in the aftermarket which is where the "performance" comes from. I hope people do well out of this set, but it has to be a crazy low buy-in I think.

€40 is a great price if you're buying for your kids, you're not going to make much on it for resale. For whatever reason the fire station is the police station's cheap younger brother and always seems to have much bigger discounts on it.

Hello everyone,

thanks a bunch for your detailed answers and opinions. After reading through the comments I have decided to take the deal but not as an investment - rather I will be using those as gift for my son, nephew and other relatives. My son is still a bit young for the set (15 month) but I have the storage space so it can wait for him.

 

Thanks again for your swift and detailed answers and have fun!
