force392 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I see the 10182 Cafe Corner has leveled off, maybe even dropped a little in value. Is this the end of the extreme appreciation? Or will we see this set hit $2000 eventually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGO HULK Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I see the 10182 Cafe Corner has leveled off, maybe even dropped a little in value. Is this the end of the extreme appreciation? Or will we see this set hit $2000 eventually?The growth on the Cafe Corner has been amazing, especially in the past year...56%!!!! Incredible. 700% from retail. Incredible. I thought the 10179 Falcon was done at $1200 a year ago, so maybe there is still room to grow here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get one as it'd be the cherry on top of my newly started investment hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ed has some of these, send him $1800, and we will call it a deal. I get 10% commission :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madaboutsesame Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Apologies for cross posting but seems relevant to the topic. I was one of those who desperately coveted the cafe corner for so long... I remain intrigued with its growth but no longer need it because I bit the bullet and made one from bricklink parts - its far from 100 % accurate - check out my blog (http://creativitcentral.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/cafe-corner-built-from-bricklink.html) for specific detail about substitutions. I'd never sell it but would be interested to see how much of its original value it could retain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think around $300 - i didn't keep track of costing as I've been doing the part source process for a few modulars, creator, designer and custom modulars all at once to try and cut back shipping costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could sell them on EBAY for $500+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Sorry to bump a fairly old thread, but I bricklinked, or PAB'd a Cafe Corner and everything is correct outside of the white panels, which I have over half original now. I Pick a Bricked most of the set, and Ebayed/Bricklinked a few rare pieces that Lego didn't have. Pet Shop has the same roof pieces making them accessible again. The white panels, you can get the new version of it, but the old one is gone, making them ridiculous to purchase directly on Bricklink now. I have slowly built up my stash of them by getting them in lots, etc., but needing 20 of them it will take a while. Cost me around $400 for all new pieces, but I don't have the instructions yet, going to be hard to bite that bullet, but probably will eventually to make it complete.

tigereyes5811 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I would pay $400..$500...or even $600 and call it a day. Less stress!!! Lol Just wait til Nov or Dec and it'll go up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Bricklinked my 10179 too, now THAT was exhausting, but I did it all new for $900, including new instructions and stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desultor Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Sorry to continue the off-topicness... Has anyone completed a bricklinked Market Street and can estimate the cost? I'd love to complete my modular collection (just like everybody else, duh), but even used prices are too steep for me to justify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to complete my modular collection (just like everybody else, duh), but even used prices are too steep for me to justify. The dark blue arches and the all white hoses will cost you. Somewhere in the $5-10/piece range, unless you have them already. Other than those, I can't think of any pieces that will cost a ton. It is a much smaller set in regards to piece count compared to the other modulars. I would think you could bricklink/Pick a Brick it quite a bit cheaper than buying off ebay, but not sure how prevalent the medium(?) blue pieces are.

BrickLegacy Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 What is a reasonable price for a used cafe corner in great condition, 100% complete, with nice instructions, no box? I haven't paid much attention to this set historically. I'm trying to measure the market with recent sales which can be problematic for a rare set.
