adewar Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Picky on box condition..must be perfect and shipped must be recieved perfect..or he refuses shipments. I have one on the way to him as well. Wow already 300! I imagine he'll do well with them. Quote
tonysbricks Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Can anything be done about those assholes listing items under MPN 41999 that arent a crawler? Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 anyone know if maryland stores still have them? Or Raleigh? I havnt been up in a week as of today none on the floor like last week might be in back didn't ask Quote
odysea11 Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 So it's Mark, huh? He just got one from me also. Sent me a message insisting on a mint box also. I gave him as much disclaimer as possible. Has anyone else had recent rejections from him? Quote
MartinP Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I think all the people who are buying all the 41999 are trying to control the market in the future. With less sets on the market, they can drive the price up to make a better profit. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 darn yup and they are playing the "only one polybag" game Quote
lowillsw Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I have one on the way to him as well. Wow already 300! I imagine he'll do well with them. Is that Ben Bernanke disguised as Mark from GB? He got bore of buying T-bills and mortgages and now have to corner the 41999 market? The market is so distorted right now that he's keeping a floor in the 300s. I hope his powder is still dry for the foreseeable future. Quote

We team up against the people messing w/ the market Quote
pkieu87 Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Sorry but I don't understand this hatred. Business is business and there are risks to every move. Arent we all investors? Dont we all support ambition? It takes a lot of balls and capital to buy 300 crawlers. Think of the risk he's taking. If you dont want your crawlers to be affected by him in the future then sell them all now and get ahead. What's his info? I'll sell him my crawlers. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Please watch the language....we all know rules here. Quote

I agree with you, everyone has and should have their own business plan. If you have 5 and happy with making a 100% profit, then be happy selling them at your price. If that person wants to gamble and risk having 500 to sell 5 years down the road, good for them. I can't wait to see what happens. Quote
Mos_Eisley Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I don't know why anyone is upset that he's buying so many. He's only doing what the majority on this site do, just x100. Quote
adewar Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I think the post(s) with the guys personal info shld be deleted. Let's have some common courtesy to fellow buyers/investors here. Geez do you want the guy to get hate mail from people with the misguided notion that there is anything wrong with buying 300 on the open market. 1 Quote

Geez do you want the guy to get hate mail from people with the misguided notion that there is anything wrong with buying 300 on the open market. I was going to add this. He is paying secondary market prices, the prices set by people wanting to sell, and his personal details gets plastered on here? Nice way to treat customers. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Agreed and done.......no need to post his person info, if someone wants it its easy enough to find, as was demonstrated. Quote
odysea11 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 As I stated, I have no problem with him buying these either. But I do apologize for quoting his personal info. It's most definitely not my intention to do him any type of harm. As a matter of fact, quite the opposite, I would like him to buy another from me! I was just stating the price points. Quote
rcdb1984 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Havnt you guys been on reddit? This is nothing. Quote
justafrog Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Can anything be done about those (bleeped) listing items under MPN 41999 that arent a crawler? If on eBay, it's a violation called "Keyword Spamming" and can be reported. However, eBay tends to ignore reports by competitors (people who sell the same sort of thing as the person they're reporting), so unless a lot of buyers-only report, it probably won't do much good.

willy431 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 He may be out of powder.....using smoke now. First 2 were cash...next one was cash from ebay....last one was credit card. I hope he sells these for a grand per in 3 to 5 years! I can't wait to see how he does....I am pulling for him! I thought I had nats dropping close to 20k on lego so far this year...this guy is the chief....checking in at over 6 figures and still firing! Tally ho, govenor! Quote

I thought I had nats dropping close to 20k on lego so far this year...this guy is the chief....checking in at over 6 figures and still firing! Tally ho, govenor! That's pretty ridiculous considering he just spend close to 100k on Crawlers. We are currently talking his book on his behalf. I'm extremely surprised people haven't jacked up the prices on Ebay knowing he's coming in with the bids and then start a bear raid on him. I can't model the supply and demand to determine the current price. I'm definitely pulling for him too but how much cheaper will it be without the 200 or so bid by him on Ebay? I think everyone knows the answer to that one. It's a parallel to all asset markets right now! Quote
willy431 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 There is no corner to a 20k float dynamic worldwide market. Even if he gets 400, he has 2 percent of the float. At least we know the float on this issue...very interesting to watch this play out! Quote
