StarPod Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I have an oppurtunity to buy the green grocer and cafe corner for 1100 with no box or instructions 100% complete. Is this at a good price point for an investment or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this at a good price point for an investment or no? I don't think its a great deal. Used sets don't grow in value as much and the Cafe Corner is actually down 9% from last year used. I think maybe at 1000 it is more in range. Now if you really want to build them, you could do it and then sell them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hengchibrick Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 If it is brand new in sealed bag, a fantastic deal. If it is used, then not good for investment purpose IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 You would probably earn some money in the medium to long term, but I think that there are better ways to spend that money at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im trying to get him down to 900. A lot of pieces from these sets arnt made anymore and are up there to bricklink which makes me believe they still have potential but im not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnb_boy_3 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I honestly don't know about investment-wise but I would love to add them to my personal collection. So if you do pass, send them my way ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yeah for a personal collection I think itsn't a bad price at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 IMO I do not think that it is a good price to invest in. These two sets right now have a value of $1200 used, but the offer is with no box or instructions which devalues the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperLegoTramp Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I agree, not that good a deal without the box and instructions, cant see either of them going up in value. Paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
