Tedron Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I wonder if smyths and Amazon will sell on the 1st in line with the original scheduled release date! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3ssian Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 It will interesting to see, as there is now no real release date, as the product got recalled, I believe this is why stores have been selling it with out any comeback from the Lego group. but time will tell lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that if Smyths and Amazon had them then would have sold them by now unless they have been told to wait until the original release date. I would say check in with Smyths and Amazon on the 1st and if they aren't selling by then then chances are they didn't have any in the first place. That's just my thoughts, anyone agree/disagree? I wonder now if prices will go up if the US market do not get any. There might suddenly be a surge of US collectors looking to get them. People from the US, are you all still just checking local sites to see if they're being sold or are you starting to buy from overseas?

I would make sure you have put the minimum buyer restrictions on ebay to weed out the non payers / time wasters I.e. require immediate payment with doing BIN listings, not selling to buyers with less than 0 feedback, more than 1 unpaid case in 12 months. Cant remember exactly what the options are as i set them up a long time ago now, but there's a bunch of options and if you select them, it gets rid of alot of time wasters etc) if you go around cancelling normal transactions you risk getting negative feedback as ebay don't care. I dont post any sets internationally now after numerous issues selling to people in Italy/ Russia. I would only sell internationally via ebay GSP.

I think so but I don't see why they would if they have purchased the item from you. I recently sold some through the GSP and I am trying to find out the best way to protect myself. One of the buyers only had 1 feedback so they are concerning me that they may claim I sent the wrong item or a damaged item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save yourself the hassle and just setup buyer postage exclusions, one less thing to worry about. Also, everytime you refund now on ebay, paypal takes the 20p fee from seller. Not much but adds up. I personally value 100% feedback on ebay alot, even though it is an arbitrary value, it does bring alot of new buyers. Here is list of buyer restrictions Selecting Buyer Requirements enables you to block buyers who: Are registered in countries to which you don't post to Have a feedback score of -1,-2,-3 or lower Have received 2 Unpaid Item strikes in the last 30 days Are the winning bidder on 1-100 of your items in the last 10 days. (Note: This block will apply to all buyers, regardless of their feedback score, or you can choose to only apply this block to buyers with a feedback score of 0-5 or lower.)

If you like money just sell them via eBay GSP it actually helps provide another major level of seller protection. Out of 1K transactions with GPS I have had 3 issues and in most cases eBay will refund the unsatisfied buyer AND allow you to keep the proceeds from the sale. You have 4 days to get rid of these things and need to have a plan. When being a QFLL speed is much more important than all this taking pictures, videos, and other gimmicks people are posting hoping that they may afford them some Level of protection. People are buying these sets with out a plan or means to sell them. Just sell the sets already and hope for the best, yes you may get a scammer but $2K with a possible scammer is better than $800 to a safe play IMO.
