Martae54 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 So I gotta ask, does anyone on here have a flat matte variation of any of the 4 LM2 characters? Quote

I can't recall anything like this outside a Comic Con or convention. There have been a few sets like the 10179 UCS First Edition Falcon and 41999 Technic 4 x4 Crawler that were "numbered." Quote

This one who really meant that they wish they got their sets processed and delivered earlier. Or should be complaining that there isn't enough demand to scoop up the lowball sets rapidly enough for the market to inflate again. Because they can either accept rapidly doubling their money for little work or they can take on the risk of holding them for a bigger return later. Whinging about grabbing the short stick is pointless. So you sell a Benny for $48 on Ebay with Free Shipping… That’s almost 5x what you paid at Target… You're rich… Should have bought 50+ sets… Then you Pay Target Redcard $10.27… (8.25% sales tax in my state) Then PayPal takes $1.69… Then USPS takes $3.96 for 1st Class Package Shipping… Then Ebay takes a $4.80 Final Value Fee And because you did a Three Day Auction (shipment received from Target on Thursday and wanted end date of Sunday) Ebay tacks on an extra $1 Special Duration Fee… You profit $26.28, a little over 2.5x your initial purchase price... That number gets lower when selling the $15 Walmart ones... Even lower when people aren't buying yours because someone else is giving them away at $35... 1 Quote

Still higher than my average profit for most items 5 minutes ago, scatmanjack said: Even lower when people aren't buying yours because someone else is giving them away at $35... Some people think $10 net is great for $10 item. The good news is, there are only 5000 of these, so the more of these sold, the rarer your $48 item is. On the same token, I am mad at people who sell these for $48 instead of $55 where they should be 1 Quote

Just so I'm clear, in your scenario, a person makes $2.60 profit for every $1 spent, in a matter of a week, and you blame them for doing it? 1 3 Quote
exciter1 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Even better when you're sold out and already on to the next thing. 2 Quote
LegoMan1212 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 If you remove the glued seal, it says these were made July of 2018. Just FYI if that matters to anyone on the chances they "remake" these. I say No Way. All credibility would go down the drain even further than their Black Card special. 1 Quote
mizeur Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Like I said, it's just sour grapes that they didn't get them in hand before everyone else, bitterness that supply exceeds demand, and fear that if they hold them something else will suppress the market. Because otherwise they'd happily double their money and move on or quietly hold them for a rebound. Edited February 21, 2019 by mizeur 2 Quote

Nope, no blame in selling high (or higher...) Blaming people selling lower and giving actual dollar figures... I’ve turned down multiple $40 offers for Sweet Mayhem. Quote

iahawks550 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I think global shipping is the smart choice for these. I also think that $75/each will happen by the end of March on Ebay Quote
jaisonline Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 wow, i wonder what my 0711 benny will fetch. it's very rare as it's the only 0711 they produced. heck, i'll even throw in a 711 logo napkin.

CosmicSpeed Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Well my 0777 Benny had the extra sticker from Target. Thinking of keeping it and selling as is, super unique!! Done-zo. Edited February 21, 2019 by CosmicSpeed 3 1 Quote

vincevaughn Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Finally got my Benny/SMs in. With current sold prices I am letting mine ride, since I leave for a 5 month business trip in March. So we'll see how these babies are doing in September/October.....Gonna be a fun ride either way on this one boys....Sent from my ancient phone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote

The movie is “so so” and the Brickheadz theme seems to have average demand for the people shelling out $$. I think the public is still stuffed from too much LEGO since 2016. about 75% of mine have been bought by resellers so far. At least some folks think there is longer term value. 1 Quote
