tz6p06 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 I was hoping to sell locally but there is no interest. I will offer shipping from 48044. Please message for quote to your location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 There is a reason why no one here is interested. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz6p06 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Well, since I'm new here why dont you fill me in on what I might be doing wrong. Instead of just leaving a comment like this, dont you think it would be more constructive to let me know? In my opinion, kind of a stupid thing to say.

Phil B Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) 1. You are advertising a set that goes for $150-$250 new in box on EBay for $350+shipping 2. You are trying to sell on a reseller site, which means you should price so that someone can buy from you and make some money on the purchase now or in the (near) future.

Shortbus311 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This is a reseller site. Yes, there are some collectors here, but pretty much everyone here is looking to make money off of their Lego purchases. (I thought this would be common sense and not need explanation, but guess not)You are asking $350 plus buyer pay shipping. Currently there is a new one on Ebay for $300 that includes shipping. There is also a listing for a brand new one on Mercari for $308 and $10 shipping.Just glancing through sold listings on Ebay it seems that patient collectors can purchase this for around $250. The most recent sale of a new one was 29 Jan. It was listed for $275 and a lower best price was accepted. You have it priced way too high for anyone on here (more educated buyers) to be at all interested. In fact, I would guess that your only potential buyers for this anywhere are going to be well educated (in Lego) collectors and are not going to be willing to pay such a high mark-up. Did that explain it well enough for you? Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not really a forum for a set like this, or for selling at all really. We are all resellers here. Unless it's a good deal you won't get interest. No money to be made on this. I have done some trades here but not straight up sold anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Yes it does, like I said I'm new to the site and didnt know (look at the stats I've got 33 posts and you have 1.1k), you've been around much longer. The last couple responses have cleared up about how the site runs and operates. Points are well taken and will be considered in the future.

I just figured that someone with a 9 year old account wouldn't be new.Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please message for quote to your location. Have you tried Facebook market place? You can join a number of the national groups(join as many as you can), create 1 ad and post across numerous groups. This helps with exposure. Ive had a lot of success there. Just need to be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BricksBrotha Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Did you simply list the ad or did you publish the ad to any lego specific groups? Here are a few examples. There are also Star wars specific groups which may benefit you even more. Here are a few examples. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz6p06 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Thanks, I joined a number of them and did just like you said by creating one and then posting them to each page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
