Celes Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Got used and complete the 8086 Droid Tri Fighter and 6206 Tie Interceptor for like $25 in a flea market, someone also told me that he saw and used 8007 3CPO for $20, but I couldnt find it . Im starting to think that maybe I could sell new and used Legos sets at my local Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEZ96 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Picked up a couple of 76004- Spider-Cycle Chase. I don't see these being huge performers, but they should do OK. Paid $16 a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad, and I think Venom will be the main reason for the set to appreciate at all. Nick Fury is good but come on. VENOM!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTX Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 So I'm definitely one of the crew that's complained about never finding deals in the past, but my luck finally changed. Still can't find jack squat in the stores on clearance, but browsing CL paid off again. Got: Ninjago Ultrasonic Raider - 50 LOTR Helms Deep - 50 Lego City Police Station - 50 MF Vampyre Castle - 50 I've never been happier to hand a guy 200 bucks for Lego.

JoshTX Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I didn't ask any questions about why he was selling them, and he didn't seem to have any regret or sorrow whatsoever to have to get rid of them. Kinda makes you wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda makes you wonder.Not sure if there is any way to do this without opening the boxes, but I would check to make sure that all the minifigures are there. Sometimes you can get a "good deal" then figure out that the set has had the minifigures removed already. I really hate when people do this!

JoshTX Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The seals didn't look to have been tampered with, but yeah, you never know what people are capable of. I'm going to open the VC to build myself, so hopefully that set will be complete and help verify the other sets are legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda makes you wonder. Is this the guy from Plano? He is constantly listing sets super cheap. I want to buy from him but haven't as I'm afraid something fishy is going on.

JoshTX Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Is this the guy from Plano? He is constantly listing sets super cheap. I want to buy from him but haven't as I'm afraid something fishy is going on. This guy had a phone number local to Austin, but he did mention he "worked" out of town, so who knows. The weird thing is what he would say to me. First time I bought 2 sets from him he said the sets were gifts and his kid was too small for Lego and they were going to get him Mega Bloks instead. A week later he listed like 6 or 7 more large sets, of which I bought 4 (yesterday). He mentioned they wanted to get his kid a 3DS. Just kind of weird. I wonder if he had some connection somewhere that he was getting these sets really cheap. He asked for 50 for each of his sets, regardless of size. He had sets that MSRP'ed anywhere from 89.99 to 129.99. Nothing smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakyboy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 8043 Excavator for $190 at TRU with online price match to $199 and $25 off $100. Brutal markup of $241 because, well because it is TRU and promotion week. 9450 Epic Dragon for $84 B&****** after 30% coupon and 10% member. TRU manager that scored me (2) SSDs at $250/ea hooked me up with online price match AND $25 off 8043. The other managers there don't do that. She is a discount machine!!!

exciter1 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Well, I sprung for a Maersk Train on EBay. I don't pay almost 2x retail often, but I really wanted one. Now, if I could only get my hands on that Maersk Container Ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
