stephen_rockefeller Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 They might not care now but they will eventually feel the pressure from higher ups then they will care. Enjoy it while you can because the strict rules that some of us see at our local stores will be the norm sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have a boat load of VW Campers so, if anyone in the south of the UK wants to swap 3 of my campers for their 41999, drop me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohens714 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 For anyone concerned about the market for these I sold 6 in one big lot on eBay last night for $2280. It sold in less than 12hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm personally not concerned about the sales activity, but these were selling for $450 for a decent amount of time on eBay. I would personally wait until this second wave dies off, maybe around Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the price should drift below $350. I bought quite a few yesterday on ebay between $360 - $380 shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I find this Mark, as I've recently come across a few more 41999s that I can offload today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy431 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I gave his contact info to a bunch of folks here through PM. He isn't buying anymore now. He said people are offering them to him for $300 now! You guys offloading that cheap are going to be sorry. I sold a bunch for $400--only beacuse I knew they were going to be coming out again--and I could replensih my stock--which I did. I am hanging on to my remaining 10. I was going to send him 5 more for $400 each (no ebay/no paypal) like our last few deals--but he said people are begging him for $300 on them now. He bought 20 this week at sub $350.

Hmm, I just sold him 2 two days ago for a lot more than that plus shipping after selling him 2 last month. It may be that you have to "work" with him on certain shipping issues. Either than or he liked the fact that I sent him pristine boxes very well wrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego rules Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 @willy431 how did he pay you if not through paypal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy431 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I am well aware of what he needs--as I sold him 12 now. He isn't paying $400 plus shipping anymore. He wired funds to my account, and they were sold outside of auction. $50 declared value for entire shipment. They must be packed tight--in buddle wrap and boxes must be perfect.

Anakinisvader Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Excellent, just as I have forseen. Too many Brickpicker resellers fighting over sales. It all ends with thundering applause. The Emperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grackleflint Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 My paypal account says different. Have you sold to him before? He's probably not paying $400 to new sellers who haven't sold to him before and have an established track record with him regarding shipping, wrapping, condition, etc. If he really has stopped buying, it will be interesting to see if it affects the short term selling price, given that he apparently is one of the 2-3 big buyers of these. Even he probably has to have a limit to how many he can buy. If you follow his eBay IDs and have a guesstimate of how many non-eBay sales he has done, he has to have close to if not over 400 now.

Not sure why he would say different. I have sold him more than 12 (all for other people) and all for over $400. I have sent him 7 people now too, 3 today and he seemed happy to have them.

You are assuming he is holding them? I would assume he is doing the same thing as me...buying them from resellers, marking up the price, and sending them off to the next buyer up the food chain for risk free profits.

exciter1 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I got two, calling them now to see if they'll price match my previous 2 orders that were cancelled. Good luck! Let us know if they do... Well, it took about 45 minutes, since I was on my cell for the first call and I was disconnected after they processed the first credit. I got a very helpful CSR the second time too and he was able to see the first credit went through. When I ordered 2 back in August, I used the 15% off coupon and the price was only $199.99 at the time, and they were canceled after being on backorder for about 30 days. I wanted to price match the $169.99 price I received then. He first mentioned a 10% discount, but asked for the previous order numbers. After I gave him the previous order numbers, he then said he'd try to process a $70 credit on each order. Both credits went through, so I should be saving about $70 + tax on each order and I got the $169.99 price from the original purchase in August. I received confirmations already that both 41999's are in-stock, so I'm fairly confident I'll receive them this time. Plus that should bump me up the additional $23 I needed to get the full amount on the $100 gift card promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible and I haven't asked what he is doing for them. If you look at eBay UK, they are going for around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
