3 sold today on Ebay.de at about 88 Euro incl. shipping... Whatever this means, still not clear to me.

 

Surprising, I'd expect WALL-E to be in that position not that POS ;-)

does this means it's no longer likely I'll ever receive them?

Well you'll never know - I ordered around the same time, mine got shipped after a few days (seal code in the 20ies). So they might actually fine some more in their warehouse. Or they get cancellations and returns.

I expect 1000 Euro for that in 2 years at this time... Anything else would be really disappointing.

I think £249.99 in 3 years time... if you're lucky!

I also predict tears and sub-RRP offloading within a year.

I disagree...

I dsagree with your disagreement. On what planet is a set that has been out for 3 years, marked as retiring soon  and heavily discounted going to have the level of scarcity to take it to 3.5 times RRP in 2 years and in the current market? You´d need 5000  Mars Rovers to find someone going to pay that.

If this wil be really the case then we can forget LEGO investing...

I expect 1000 but would be also happy with 600 in two years...

Seriously, I reckon £400 at the most in 2yrs and then it'll plateau. Remember, the "Taj Mahal" days are long gone!

I know... let's get one of the admins to set up a game for us to predict it's highest SOLD price on eBay on 27NOV17. I'll say £329.99 plus P&P.

This is why I sold all my Tower Bridges (old 2012 boxes) at break-even as I can buy again later on at a bigger discount when there's a hint of EOL.

TB is reduced tomorrow at SAH. Is that a big enough hint?

And do you think Tabby that TBs could be going next year ? Or with a mass retirement that could be a different story hmm

I don't think so as it's a huge seller and I'm not taking the bait just yet. I can always jump on John Lewis if/when the time comes as they ofter price-match LEGO Shop at Home asap. It has to be Sold Out before I buy any more but, I just have to act quickly. I hate stockpiling big boxes!

I'd take a stab at 2020, same year as the T1 ;-)
