spener90 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'll put up pictures in a few months when I decide to build one... As for now, I'm selling lots of sets! Great pictures though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 You have excellent photography skills (award him! award him! award him!), those are beautiful snapshots. Lol... way to kick it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneil21 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 They are not being sold. They are warehoused, next to his Ferrari. My last email to him a couple days ago was thanking me for sending so many people his way with crawlers for sale--and many were taking $300 plus shipping--but not to give his name out anymore--as he wasn't buying more. Although I mentioned I had just bought 6 more, and he offered to buy my last 10 for $400 each if I covered the shipping....so I guess he still has some dry powder. So I just got an unsolicited email from Mark offering to buy ALL (he doesnt know how many I have) of my 41999s for $450 each plus shipping.

He still wants more Crawlers!? How many does he have now and how many does he want? He is spending a lot of money on these sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbost01 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hell, I will sale my remaining ones for 450 if he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hell, I will sale my remaining ones for 450 if he wants. I would wait until he offers $500-$600 for each one. Cha-ching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roto22 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Well I just picked up 2 crawlers from the Westchester Lego store, with my VIP card, no issues at all. It seems that any limit restrictions that do exist are not being enforced consistently, but I guess that's not a big surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raykong Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 how are you guys shipping them to UK? I did some quick math and it came up as $330 to ship just two of them EDIT - nevermind - USPS was way cheaper - ship two for $80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 can anyone ask him for pictures of his treasure? Not a "pic of it didn't happen" just curious Seconded! I'm interested if he invests in other sets too. If he doesn't, it seems like a real severe case of putting all your eggs in one basket. A very expensive basket, but nonetheless a single one.

Hopefully he does not control the 41999 market in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Has anyone dealt with him directly? Or just through ebay? Yes i have talked to him quite a bit. I invited him to the site but it hasn't happened yet. He's a really nice guy. I am bullish on saying too much because we should probably try to respect the guys privacy outside of what he is buying right now with the 41999 but he definitely has other lego sets. And I get the feeling he knows what he is doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesman888 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Maybe he bought them and sell to people in China. This set is selling around 600 a set on taobao.com. Crazy. I should take them next time I go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4dreams Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This Mark gentlemen might be a genius. A previous post said he owns a Ferrari. So he probably has millions bucks to work with. If he bought all 20,000 crawlers for $400 each, that would be $8 million. I doubt he'll buy them all, but he could certainly dominate the market, drying up supply and skyrocketing the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it has as much to do with that as it will just probably be worth a lot of money some day without that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a guy with Ferrari once... learned he went bankrupt a few months after i seen him in his Ferrari... would not put too much faith when someone buys cars like this... still he bought an awful alot so he might have some good cash.

Just end it. You can't go through life like this. I can wait to see how this plays out! I hope he doubles his investment outlay. I am cheering for this guy....and sending him an email to see if he wants 10 more out of ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less how much money he has or what he drives. What I care about is that he seems like a reputable guy who pays for what he buys. How about we focus on that? He is a really good buyer who hopefully won't see any of these silly posts or he will likely think we are all 12 year olds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
