matt1147 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I've been tracking a bulk lot from an estate sale in PA on ebay but decided not to buy it and wanted to give someone here the chance: it includes (at least) a partial UCS Star Wars Falcon but the seller doesn't seem to know enough to tell how complete it is. It ends in 5 hours. If you buy it, is be curious to know how you end up. ;-) http://bit.ly/18zXp3o 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 This seems very interesting. I wish i could get it but, I do not have that much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8nt4lyfe Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hmm, interesting...not sure If i have the patience to build that MF...but so tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1147 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 I know - I wish the seller could give more info then I'd be okay investing that much cash...but you don't get a big reward without some risk either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 That's a nice lot, but it would take more time to sort than I care to spend. If there is a complete Falcon in there, then it is a great score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1147 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 The price jumped over $170 since I posted this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Can't imagine its all there. You really think there is someone who would spend $500 on a Falcon and throw it in a bin with non-legos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yeah but if the unopened bags are Falcon, the process of building got interrupted possibly by something bad if it was an Estate Sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauromosis Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 LOL...it will start flying around at night after you put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkieu87 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I bidded, but got outbidded soon after... Hmm wonder if its worth the gamble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.D.O.K. Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I see an Alfred the Butler in there. That's $50 by itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I bidded, but got outbidded soon after... Hmm wonder if its worth the gamble I don't think so. They said the instruction book is all messed up, would be nice to see pictures of the sticker sheet, or radar dish, rigging, etc. There is not much worth anything outside of the "chance" that there is a complete 10179 in there. It's at almost $800 right now. That is already not leaving a lot of wiggle room if you are looking to flip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Good point...wet manual probably means bad overall condition. This market is so hot right now, it's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idunno101 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Just over 3 hours left and it's at $810. I wonder how much it's going to go up in the final hours. I'm not bidding since I don't think that there will be many completed sets with this lot but someone's going to get a lot of pieces in the next few hours.

tonysbricks Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Looks like a mixed lot to me. I see part of jabba's sail barge in there and what look like sandcrawler tracks. At best you are getting parts to some heavy hitting sets but no completes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I took a close look and saw some parts of large brown squarish thing that looks like a Sandcrawler, and also a version of a TIE fighter from the TIE Fighter Collection 10131 called a TIE-D. I thought I saw some parts from Exo Force too, but I'm not 100% sure. See pictures. '> '> '> 18 minutes left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1147 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Dang over 1000 bucks. It was like 400 this morning. So which one of you got it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Dang over 1000 bucks. It was like 400 this morning. So which one of you got it?? Hopefully none, because I think somebody is going to be disappointed with it. Yeah, there were parts to very nice sets, but no evidence that there was anything close to complete sets. Heck, most of the stuff in the lot was junk. I seriously doubt an entire 10179 is in this auction. If you've built the set, you know just how much light bluish grey in the set, I just don't see it.

Guest idunno101 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sold for $1,026 to someone in Pennsylvania. This person got a lot more than he should have, in my opinion. I wonder how the buyer's reaction is going to be when they receive the bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTX Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I wonder if a couple of people got locked up into a 200 dollar bidding war right there in the end. Or maybe a Sniper came in at the end with some ridiculously high bid. I hate fighting people for stuff on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe a Sniper came in at the end with some ridiculously high bid. I hate fighting people for stuff on Ebay. I don't even bother with auctions anymore for that reason. I just look for good new BIN listings and once in a while a great one comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunnersDad Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The seller has not yet received positive feedback for this lot. I am wondering if it's just a lazy buyer or if the lot has been returned or is in the process of being returned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I would skip. I don't like how the UCS is being dangled in there. I would be skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
