When people say "double my money", do they mean buy for $40 and sell for $80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, but this can be shipped 2 pounds priority for about 8 bucks anywhere, so 88 plus Ebay fees of 10 bucks is 98, which means you're about there already assuming you paid with red card 5% off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May hold a few but once $150 hits the rate of return is likely slower as it matures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how you value your time. Shipping has become more of a pain in 2020 (higher costs, slower delivery times etc). I’m at $120 plus shipping to make it worth my time. YMMV.

Shipping isn't going to be cheaper next week, or next year. Slower delivery time doesn't affect you, the seller. Your "time" value does not change at all with that variable from week to week. If this is your living, or a large part of it, there is much more "time" value in selling and re-investing quickly. Inventory space and lack of sales = no money 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post has nothing to do about what level it becomes worth it for me, the question was how much money do you need to make to W money. The answer is about $98 For me the target sale price is when it hits 150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most sale prices this past 24 hours have been 88-95 shipped. This hasnt dipped in price like I thought it would upon delivery week. 95 shipped appears to be the new floor. 326 live 1079 sold Pretty big range today from 75 to 99, mostly in thr 85 area. Quite a few BINs available at 89, then again at 95. also a few damaged box options at 84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickvoyeur Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Lego canceled my single backordered set citing stock issues. They shipped the two from the other order. Got a shelf full from Target, so no complaints about one cancellation. Could be an isolated cancel, or the sign that they oversold. Time will tell.

As of some point this afternoon, it changed to "In Warehouse," so I feel pretty good that LEGO won't pull the ole "Psych! We got your hopes up but in reality it will never ship!"

MotorCityMuscle Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 all of my sets from LEGO came with a giant crease either on the back or front. so those were QF'd. The ones from Target looked great. Holding those for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold range seems very tight, almost all right at 95 shipped. most still available buy it now between 90-100 shipped. Only a few folks bothering to list higher. Really no point until the sub 100 stuff goes away. Edited September 10, 2020 by mudcatsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I sold mine on BL for $100 last week. Shipped to Germany so there's an international appetite for these. I do think it's a bit of a hold until the cheaper ones clear out and Christmas rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMuscle Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 ones on back-order went to in-warehouse. so there is hope for those that may have received that status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymorgue Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Mine is still in 'waiting for new stock' status. I hope it goes through and doesn't get cancelled or anything. I couldn't be there when the set first went live, and managed to snag one when it came back in stock on Lego for a hot minute. I just will not pay secondary prices for this.

citymorgue Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I really hope they honor it, even if that means they have to make a few more to fill orders. That would be pretty lame for them to pull it back after they allowed the order to go through in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladner Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 amazon buybox at $115 and then it gets up to $130 pretty quickly. sometimes its just this easy . and the hard part is having the courage to listen to your instinct and order dozens while they are available and not fall victim to the illusion of plenitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
