Migration Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 19 hours ago, minicoopers11 said: Credit card fraud is one option. I had this problem with Denny's gift card once. Thankfully Cardpool (who I bought the gc from) was quick to refund me after verifying the problem. The problem here, I'm guessing (due to the odd gift card amounts), is return fraud. Either buying items for less at other places and returning them at TRU for more store credit or stealing and returning for store credit. You bought a gift card to Dennys? On Purpose? Full disclosure, The only place my grandparents would every go to eat out was Dennys, eaten there more times than I care to remember. I once got busted adding $10 to the $0.75 tip that my grandmother left to a waitress. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migration Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 wow he even says it is the black pearl real legoWhen I posted that originally he was priced at $250. The Flying Dutchman he's selling does have value. He just needs to list it as what it actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerEyez Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) So I have a UCS Tie on CL for $195. I've gotten offers of $100 and $150, but yesterday took the cake, $50. By text, from a guy in Orlando. When I asked if he was joking he said he valued at $0.10/brick, then divided by three to start negotiation. 25% of asking price! Who the F starts there? I hope that wasn't you @donbee. Edited March 7, 2017 by TigerEyez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said it's not retired, people will look for upcoming discounts. Also there is double VIP points right now for SAH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your average person doesn't know that VIP points exist, let alone when they are double. Like I said I'm fine with holding the set for the long run, but I'll take a nice profit in the short term to essentially make the one I bought for myself half off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you are probably better off holding on to it. I don't know many people that blindly spend $200 on a Lego set without at least googling its retail price.

Yes I got one from amazon couple months ago when it was on sale for 140.00. Not bad at all. We'll do well after retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirborneAFOL Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 One of you?https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/tag/6047767264.htmlI'm actually really impressed by the thorough and articulate posting he put together.Doesn't sound like a BP'er, but as far as massive lots go (and the ridiculous asking prices that often come with them), this guy seems to be pretty legit.

Victorymike18 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I agree. And if anything a bit too much info and disclosure on personal strategy, in my opinion. He is definitely well-aware of Bricklink as he mentions it several times, but claims to not (currently) be a seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpaulson7 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I like the 2nd to last sentence. He doesn't want his phone blowing up on a $20k asking price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Why?Because he basically told people how great the collection was a dozen times, how great he was at amassing said collection, how great he was for selling it at such a bargain and how great he'd be for renting a uhaul and delivering it (wtf?)...Then he proceeded to tell everyone if you want to pay a premium for it, buy it now... otherwise I'll eventually get desperate to sell it and either drop the price or split it into smaller parts saving you a whole lot of work estimating the value for yourself or finding the parts you want.Oh and he knows all about selling LEGo so he's doing you a favor by setting the price based only on part of the collection (yeah right).Shut up and post the facts. Opinions are not needed in a CL ad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 What struck me the most is that after collecting and building for 10 years, he still calls it "Legos". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
