Furious_george Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Anyone seen what new sellers are forced to do on eBay now? My daughter sold an expensive set for me, and before they will even give you a funds availabilty date , you must post and track the item. Just done that and PayPal tells me the funds will be available IN THREE WEEKS! What the hell? Quote

I can understand waiting for the tracking number to be uploaded and being received by Auspost. But three weeks what a load of crap. Quote

Fully suppport it. Quote
Furious_george Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Didn't know that. I've had my account for ten years , so never had to do this before. Three weeks seems excessive though. That gives the buyer time to receive it, build it , change their mind and post it back to me for free. 1 Quote
Furious_george Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Myer online has BB8 back for $107 delivered. Few other not bad prices too , but remember to use the ANNIVERSARY code that suits. Quote
celentt Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Myer seems to be the easiest place to buy modular buildings on sale... any other suggestions Quote
jomandybri Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 TRU had a flash clearance sale last night on a few retiring sets. Managed to grab 2x Rebel Combat Frigates for $118 ea shipped! Anyone get anything exciting? 2 Quote
Furious_george Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Nice job. Did see it but didn't buy. Pity it didn't line up with the batman figs but I guess that was never going to happen. Quote
whoisbiggles Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Nice one - nothing tickled my fancy. Did score the following of eBay: LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (75030) - UNOPENED LEGO Chima Fire vs Ice (70156) - UNOPENED LEGO Ramses Return (3855) - THIS HAS BEEN OPENED BUT INCLUDES ALL PIECES OF THE GAME For the princely sum of $34 posted. If the MF's condition matches the photos, will be tempted to list the next time there is an eBay discounted FVF offer. 1 Quote
whoisbiggles Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Another oddball item I picked up this morning from a local FB group for $150. Quote

I could have sworn I saw that in a group yesterday! Do you hang onto those personally? I just wonder what kind of a market there is for that type of thing 1 Quote
whoisbiggles Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Could be, it was listed on Sunday, and this is his picture. I'll be hanging onto this for awhile. It makes a good display. I occasionally see eBay listings for different themed displays for between $160 and $650. Quote
Ted Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I could have sworn I saw that in a group yesterday! Do you hang onto those personally? I just wonder what kind of a market there is for that type of thingNice find, for your own personal collection? Don't think you will get much more dough if you are reselling it on but nice to keep one if there is space at home. Quote
