exracer327 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I am wondering what the used market will be like in about three months, when things are returning to normal. How many kids will be board with their new sets and looking to recoup some of what they spent expecting to pull down prices like they are right now.

For professionals they are for sure giving it a lot of consideration as backgrounds has become a thing. Her choosing LEGOs (hers or son's) still highlights the image that LEGO is both high-end and desirable. 20 minutes ago, exracer327 said: I am wondering what the used market will be like in about three months, when things are returning to normal.

MotorCityMuscle Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 What’s the one Out of Stock set you just have to have? Maybe it’s a build you really want or set you think will sky rocket in the Future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used market will be getting saturated...that said economic downturn suggest folks will be open for bargains. Still a lot of buying and selling to be done..and Ebay continues to profit both ways 14 minutes ago, MotorCityMuscle said: What’s the one Out of Stock set you just have to have?

Most countries start of thinking it's far away and won't impact them; and then it's upon them suddenly and life as they know it completely changed. Through it, I'm sure folks just kept thinking / wondering when it will go back to normal. After each WW the entire world changed be it industrially, economically, and especially socially....some more than others...but mostly for the nations directly involved. The depths of CV the disease is still unclear...new/old questions have emerged: yes, it has mutated to be more infectious, yes there is now strong evidence of kids as young as 5 can die from complications of CV, it is still unclear if one can get it again, new symptoms are blood clots/stroke, digestion problems, kidney failure...far cry symptoms from the "purely respiratory" heralded earlier...CV specifically attacks the lining of blood vessels.

I know there are a few sitting in my local store and I'm going to hit it day one when they reopen. The upside down Stranger Things set is another one, but I can live without it. I was able to get a roller coaster ordered before it went oos. But I won't see it until Aug.... hopefully. Oh, forgot about the Tree House. I need one of those.

keymomachine Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Yeah, for me Ideas treehouse, missed the ones at my local Barnes and Nobles when it opened for curbside. Stranger things seems like it's been out of stock it's entire existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMuscle Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 i agree with the big Hogwarts Castle. I'm not even a HP fan but i just think it's grand. for that reason, I would throw the Disney Castle in there as well. they both just have such presence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudoty Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I found another high demand item used PS4. I listed this on FB and 3 people bid the asking price up. I had around 40 people in 2 hours before it sold for $360. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iahawks550 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Well, in the old days😁, people would write you a check for higher priced items, as most didn't carry larger amounts of cash. There was a slight (or higher) chance of the check being fraudulent. Hence the phrase. But today, yeah, it's kind of stupid and irrelevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I always laugh at the guys who try low-balling me - I'll give you cash right now. If I go away, you may not sell it... lol Does that ever really work? On ebay, I was selling a used LEGO SW AAT on auction. It was sitting at $44 with 2 days remaining when I rcv'd a msg - "I'll give you $50 for it right now". After I got done laughing I politely responded, "I cannot close an auction this close to its ending." It ended up selling for $72 + shipping.
