41999 - 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition

[justafrog]

No one has anything negative to say about the Global Shipping Program. I am starting to wonder why am I not offering this then I remember you will be protected from item not received once it has been delivered to ebay sorting center in KY well the problem is you still have no protection from item not as described. Return shipping will be so high but any item 1,000 or more has big scam potential even with GSP and you will be dealing with an angry buyer in any number of countries. We sell mostly lower cost items and I am wondering what my risk is if any. We have never offered international shipping after being burned a few times; Packages not showing up Claims from buyers and long delivery times...

 

You have complete protection for item not as described claims in MOST cases, as the packages are opened and verified in Kentucky. eBay will protect you against the majority of SNAD claims if a buyer receives a broken or damaged item, etc., after it has left the Kentucky center.

 

If you are a good seller and don't normally have many domestic issues with buyers, you will likely find the same should you decide to offer GSP.

Can we please steer this topic back to the 41999.....There is a thread for Ebays GSP. Thanks.

Getting back on topic. I just checked my local Lego store, and they didn't have any 41999. Pretty bummed because I have not found one yet at retail price. I will keep checking.

for the damage of the package, like knife cut if you filed a claim?  I thought it's been covered.

Crawlers are dried up in my area again. I hit 2 stores, and my brother hit 2 hoping there was a fresh shipment Monday.   All 4 were out...2 (Peabody and Braintree) said no more  coming...Natick and Burlington didn't know.  The spot on the shelf was gone  in braintree.

I managed to grab a couple more from those stores.  It's too competitive in this neck of the woods.

one of those damaged crawlers was sent by me. The GSP covered the damage. This is why I will continue to use GSP.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to trade my WV sets, a sealed Toy Shop and a Post Office for a 41999. Both are mint in box.

If anyone's interested PM me.

Cheers!

If you were in the US (and posted this in the classified section <that doesn't exist>) I would trade you my tiny creased crawler for those.

I thought Peabody and Braintree were the names of the store employees because they said no more were coming even though the employees Natick and Burlington didn't know.

If you click in the "1 Sold" link it shows the price at the time was $ 380

I was thinking it was because it said only 20K made in the title. I didn't know that.

Went to the Lego store today. Still no Crawlers. There must be a lot of collectors/investors in my area if they are all gone.

[Diabolos80]

Martin some areas definitely got more than others. My local shop got 6 in the last shipment, but other members were saying their stores received 30+. Of course my number is based on employee info, so who knows.

I kinda figured. Reading posts on this forum, I read that some people got 10 from one store, while others did not get any. My store is relatively new, so that may be a reason, but I will keep looking until I find one in the store.

[Anakinisvader]

Is this thread really still going?  Really?  Anybody? Anybody?

[Coneil21]

It was a good thread, and I think I speak for (almost) all when I say it is a thread that will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Exclusive Crawler Thread

[Diabolos80]

It's only dead until the next wave hits the stores lol. Anyway we'll all meet up here again soon enough, with tales of riches and back-patting.

[willy431]

I know it sounds trite and cliche,an  I don't have  pics....but I literally sprayed my fire with the Apple cider I was drinking in bed..and woke up my wife.   Going to get a towel now to wipe up my mess.  I was laughing...then squinted to see what  it said at the bottom of the stone..and blew up!

 

Grade A right there!

Um, I think I missed something. What is going on?

We are mourning the silence in the 41999 thread...by making some noise in it. LOL, the irony!

[Anakinisvader]

Too much noise, now you have awakened the dead.  It is now a 41999 Zombie thread and coming to eat your brains   This is supposed to be a 41999 Zombie.

[justafrog]

I am now waiting for someone to make a 41999 Zombie Crawler MOC. Go, my minions! Make me proud!
