update to Mr. Gold count

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Series-10-MR-GOLD-Minifig-898-5-000-Minifigure-new-figure-rare-mister-man-/330910968057?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item4d0bd4a8f9 This was today. You will miss the boat if you don't get him up on eBay soon. Pigs get fat; Hogs get slaughtered.

On a side note, I'm starting to get jealous of all this Mr. Gold stuff. Not so much that people are finding them, but I'm getting upset that I can't even purchase series 10 at all.

I got mine yesterday and I immediately put it on ebay. Now's the time. Once May 1 rolls around, these will be popping up on ebay all day long.

Yeah, I can't find any place selling these around me yet unfortunately.

is yours an auction or listed for a buy it now price?

Sell now. Even if you did really want one for yourself I'd advise selling now. In a month the supply of these will be far greater and prices lower so sell now for $600+ and then buy one in a month when they might be half that or less. It's called profits my friends.

Nice dude!

Me either. Seems like the stores in my area are waiting till the actual release date instead of releasing them early.

Sell. Once it is available to everyone, people will lose interest and will try to find them themselves at their local stores. Nice job on the find!

Exactly. I'll get up early on may 1st and head out to my LEGO store to try my luck.

As others have said, sell now. If you can be one of the first dozen or so getting them out there you will get top dollar. After May 1, when there are 1000 of these on ebay, the prices will drop substantially. They will probably then ease back up after they start drying up and are in collections, but generally, the highest prices seen are right at the beginning with something like this that has this much hype.

+1

People always pay a premium at the beginning before the market settles

Another vote for sell, and it's not close.

I vote to sell now. Sell immediately actually! In a month or so these will be a lot less rare and prices will drop significantly.

Yup, you can probably sell for $600+ more than you will in a month or so. By then you can pocket a couple hundred and buy another one for like $100 or so. If you sell now, and buy one later, you can basically get a free $400+. Not bad IMO, but if you disagree with the $400, please let me know, and I will take it off your hands. Lol. :)

+1. Sell now. You could always buy another one when the prices lower after more of them are posted on eBay.

Sell now... Lego could always just say screw it and pull a MINECRAFT with this set and say limited to 5000 and then release 20000 more. Probably not logical but could happen. You should sell now while it is fresh on people's minds.

He just sold it for $1,000 dollars. That's awesome!

Awesome. That will keep the Lego rolling over for awhile!

Guess I will be buying my 1st Mystery Packs 10 soon! SWEEET!

I bet mama has her hand out since she bought it!! haha

$1000 for a minifg though. I am still shaking my head.

I know! You could buy a lot of Lego sets with that amount of cash.

I know there is only 5,000 MG made, but out of how many total packs of series 10? 5,000 of 100,000? what odds?

I jumped and he just came to my house to get it. I think this is the best quick flip, and I avoided ebay and paypal fees.

That was a great quick flip. The 10% eBay fee and the 3% Paypal fee would've cut into your profit greatly. Great job avoiding those pesky fees! (;
