weakside Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 As a small time investor/seller, I've recently noticed the Mandalorians are really out selling the other battle packs from my inventory: Endor (9489) and Clone Trooper (7913). Wonder if this will continue? I personally like all 3 and each has set has it's own strength/pro. Most retailers don't have them in stock anymore...retired and sold out. Good thing I stocked up on the Mandalorians during sales. There has been articles/blogs/topics about how single army packs are better than 'split' variety for army building etc. Guess to each their own. I just think these small packs are good bang for the buck and a must for most small time/newbie investors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them - the bad thing is you have to do all the listing, shipping, etc. to make 5 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 yeah, you're right...with ebay/amazon/paypal fees it cuts into the margin. But I just sell locally (face to face) with small sets and profiting $8-$10 per box is not that bad, small but adds up and helps to lower the cost of my inventory/Lego hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I like the set, but remember that it is only a small profit for one set. If you make $8 - $10 per set, and you have multiple sets, then you can make a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lego market sucks here - I buy everything anyone ever puts up, lol. But they are nice for flipping if you avoid fees and everything else.

exciter1 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I pair the Clone and Mandalorian packs and make about $20 profit per sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
