Popular word of mouth through media outlets, positive social representation for many generations. online availability dwindling (minus flippers) in a world with more of an online purchasing mentality, holiday shopping rush fast approaching...yeah I can see a spike with this set.I also see discounts in the next year with too much store stock available due to limits..

labfreak7 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 My BN order says shipped via lasership. What the heck company is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montreid Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 with target shipping and BN shipping - there's plenty of supply en route to resellers as we speak --- bunches are one-off sellers too buy 5, save 1 for self -- sell for minimal profits to fund the one purchase. Watch ebay to explore with sellers later this week and amzn to continue downward slide until black friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a delivery company that is kind of known in the east coast, supposedly it's "fast" which I will see since I got the notification just now that mine were shipped and expected to be here tomorrow.

Saruman Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) I like how after SIX days after release(Women of NASA) LEGO is saying that it it TOOS. Edited November 7, 2017 by Saruman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montreid Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 USA only -- in stock and plentiful elsewhere -- at that, don't think Lego would make a second run like RI unless it's specific to US market -- since already packaged; would think it be hard to bring stateside with a EAN code instead of UPC.

ChristopherJB Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Listed a bunch on ebay and 2 drop shippers bought them. I think I'm listing them for a bit too cheap, around $50 shipped. Will head to my local lego store to clean out some more before heading to the border. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labfreak7 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Got my first return request- of course it was from the one buyer who paid 100+ for it. I am imposing a 20% restocking fee for it. Sucks but I figured it would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth buyer screwing around with A-Z claim with the restock fee. Better to take the return and just move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I don't think they can file an a-z claim on a return where they had a change of heart. I'll see what it looks like when it gets to me, and take it from there. Not trying to take advantage, but I am not a sucker either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to take the return and just move on. Strange that you bring up ethics on a site where the whole goal is to buy Lego sets and sell them at a higher price later. My charging a restocking fee is not unethical. I have to cover costs like shipping- outside of Amazon's crappy shipping credit. Additionally, I don't know what condition this set will be in when I get it back. If it was opened, it dramatically decreases the value.You don't have to like my business practices, but please don't tell me what to do with my money or inventory.I have heard and seen real shady tactics employed when selling Lego, or anything for that matter.I posted the return not to seek approval, but to make everyone aware that people will be issuing return requests, especially the sales around $100 when the price has now dropped by $30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not getting into the ethical aspect of it , but the customer can open a AZ claim and leave a negative feedback if they so choose . Just something to be aware of .

I am pretty sure the dislike was for the customer returning the item, not that you want to charge a restocking fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold some GBH when it peaked last month or so and got 1 return. Price come down more than half. If you ask me how i feel the return, of cause it is not good. Try to focus on the positive and move on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I do, I just don't like being called out on that. If that is not what he meant by the post, then he has my apologies.Amazon CS have told me in the past that I am completely entitled to charge a restocking fee if the return is based on buyers remorse and not defect.

Did the CS also tell you it is up to your customer to leave you negative feedback due to poor customer service? this is what i was told about charging for a return. Amazon feedback is hard to come by if you know what i mean ....... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take $20 back, plus the $50. All in all, $70 shipped is not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 I doubt this set will ever make as much money for US sellers than it is doing now. See Exo and RI threads for case law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
