legodelorean Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Got a shipment notification from LEGO Shop at Home that my two have shipped. They won’t be delivered till next Saturday! What the heck?!? By the time I get these, I’ll have to give them away!! Lol..... I might as well buy five more from B&N.... they’ll probably get here quicker!

labfreak7 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I bought 6 more on ebay for $49. So this may be a dumb question, but how are you going to make money on that at $50 each? If they hit over $100 by the time you get them, maybe. Current Amazon price is around $75. Take$12 in fees plus whatever the shipping cost is and that translates to a dismal profit.Take one of my Amazon sales as an example:Order date: 11/04/2017Price: $74.99Shipping: $4.99Amazon fees: -$12.99Your earnings: $66.99Let's assume shipping is about $9.That's 57.99- $27 for the setThat's roughly $30 profit for each set purchased at RRP.Again, my apologies if you have something set up that translates to better profits but from where I am sitting, it seems risky and unrewarding. 1 Quote

Price $24.99 - investing, $49.00 - gambling...but he will be fine, wait for Xmas, price will be over $100.00. I sold two sets today in 7 minutes just to test the water, for 99.50 this morning...price will drop again cause avail from B&N... Quote
labfreak7 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I figured the target selling price was + 100.00, hopefully it is. Quote
cory730 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 This is what I go by. I am fine making 30% profit. I am a QFLL though. 1 Quote

33Lego Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 and gone. probably due to the cancelled orders. Anyone having luck putting in more than 1 orders with BN? Quote

Put in 16 orders & only 1 went through. When I called the b&n call center the miserable woman in the other line seemed to take great pleasure in telling me that I was eligible for only 5. Haters & jealously everywhere. 1 Quote

You didn't give up after 5-6 and still called? Quote
LegoSteve Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Just now, jbacunn said: You didn't give up after 5-6 and still called? I used 16 different emails for each set of 5 units but the cancellation emails didn't start coming in until I placed the16th. Quantity limits is a B.S. game that companies mostly lose. B&N will only allow you to order 5 Imperial Hotels online but when you walk into an actual b&n and ask them to order you 70 they have no problem. Just stupid b.s. Quote

I'm really interested in knowing how she conveyed to you that she was getting "great pleasure"... 1 Quote
