crayxlp Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I think the same.. I believe that there has to be first some kind of "announcement" that this is obtainable and whoever is interested can participate. Basically shipping just one set is awfully inefficient given the shipping charges (from here 1 pound to US costs 11.70 USD - registered, signed-for) .. but 10 pounds cost 32 USD. and just for the record, the (local) purchase for all the above mentioned sets together (compared to the actual exch rate to USD) comes to 229 USD.. anyone interested, feel free to contact me. p.S... it would be really great to having something like "classifieds" on this site with 1-6 pictures of the sets, limited description up to 1000 characters or so.. and to totally AVOID these ebay / amazon killing fees..

eliminator Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Anyone see an uptake on sales of this set? I sold my last two this weekend. Assuming due to GBHQ pickups? Quote
Gonkalin Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) I sold an Ecto II yesterday. But my Ecto 1 is still listed. Sold for $75 on EBAY. Buy in was around $35. So not too bad. My Ecto 1 is listed BIN at $104. Edited November 26, 2018 by Gonkalin Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 You just need a little patience with this set and wait for the hoarders to thin out a bit. I'm nowhere near thinking of putting mine up for sale yet. I'm holding out for £75 after fees, but I can still shift them at any time for 2x buy-in if I get desperate or if a resurrection is on the cards. Quote
Sozial Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Even with XMAS the set is not really moving. I am monitoring Amazon and Ebay but sales are disappointing. Good I "only"went for 100 ?, hopefully next XMAS will be the time to sell. Quote

Expand Even if you're only making €20 per unit if you sell now, that's still a fantastic return. Xmas isn't really a good time to sell as a lot of people want the latest and greatest products at the lowest prices. I personally find that Xmas competition is too high, there's too many scammers and I actually get better prices from February onwards. Quote

Expand Try to sell Worldwide (not eBay GSP) as it's not too expensive to post and some people will pay through the nose for small retired LEGO sets, especially Australians ? Stalking the Australian thread on here has been quite lucrative for me. I don't know about your experiences with scams, but I avoid shipping to Russia, Africa, Middle East and South Korea - no offence intended. Quote

Expand It's too expensive for the buyer for a 400x200x100mm 1KG package. eBay rip off the buyers too! Last time I shipped one to Japan, I charged £8 where GSP would've charged £18 That was last year, not sure if it's changed. GSP sometimes even unpack your set to put it in a lighter and weaker box or even a bag! It happened to me once when I customer in New Zealand got a crushed Doctor Who, luckily I took photos of the packed box with the tracking number to UK GSP. The buyer got it in a sodding bin liner!

wotguvnotmeguv Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 A new Ghostbusters film was announced last week, for release next year, and the teaser seems to feature the original Ecto-1. Does Lego still have the rights? I note Playmobil have been trotting out Ectos for the last couple of years. Could be either remake hell or - if they’re unable to - a delicious time. Quote

Expand Since an IDEAS set hasn't been resurrected yet and that LEGO may not want to pay royalties again to the 21108 designer, couldn't they just modify 75828? It's also no longer the 30th anniversary of the original movie so I think that 21108 is safe. My 21108 bail is set at £75 post fees (1.5x RRP), which is a long way off yet. However, as with any set, don't get greedy and hold for too long - ask any Taj Mahal hoarder - LOL. With the rumoured new BTTF movie, perhaps the 21103 could come back if LEGO want war! Any number of vendors can have a licence and not many are exclusive. Quote
iahawks550 Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 It's possible that even with a remake of 21108, it's not as good as the original. At the very least, it will stir up interest in the first. Quote
