Alucard1982 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Seems to be time waster season, approx 1 in 6 of my orders lately have been non paying bidders. Getting tempted to put immediate pay back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 What’s the advantage of not having immediate pay on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard1982 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 It’s a psychological thing, people are my inclined to purchase if they think they are in control of the transaction. Also people like to add items to their cart to maximise coupons/vouchers.I’ll leave it off for the time being, but normally flick it on around September to maximise the Christmas rush (cuts out failed sales in peak periods). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 luckily I live in a area with very little AFOL action. There are 5 on the shelf. Hoping by pay day some are still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 went back in today and laybye'd 4 of them. Does anyone know if Big W will sell unopened boxs of minfigs? With the 20% discount may be worth it perhaps, not too sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 20% discount may be worth it perhaps, not too sure? My local Big W will see unopened boxes of minifigs, just a matter of popping down to the layby counter. BUT they won't layby boxes of minifigures. Yours maybe different. I'd call and ask, as my local Big W doesn't have any HP minifigs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jomandybri Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 So that Lego Store eBay banner is back, and it works now! But it's not really a Lego Store per se, more of a link to search all the "Authorised Lego Reseller" stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFFOL Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Hey guys, nice to be back. Almost forgot my password its been that long! Just caught the tail end of your discussions with some serious lego discounts on Ghostbusters stuff and the like. In the East of Melbourne, Big W shelves stripped clean of harry potter products. Small castle was dumped at $119. I do understand there will be another shipment landing at one of the Major shopping centre stores close by. What's your take on the new range? I was a dedicated collector of the last series. I'm thinking the quiddich one could be good. But also leaning towards the new fantastic beasts suitcase. The large castle I have not seen anywhere yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Not a series I’m interested in personally , but I think the Harry sets all look pretty good. Retail supply here will probably be limited , so should help values in the future if investing/Christmas flipping is your thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard1982 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I’ll be quite curious to see what the Xmas killer will be this year, generally all themes dry up to pump out more pushed themes.I don’t think HP or JP won’t be them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFFOL Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just look up the movies yet to be released. They generally drive the lego market around Xmas :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 DJ’s having a sale. Falcon was there at 20% off but seems to be gone already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFFOL Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The so-called second shipment of harry potter in Big W, only produced two new boxes of Newts suitcase on the shelves. Price approx $55. Almost $14 dollar saving with 20% off all lego. Tbh, with the new movie release and this being a unique new set. I think this will do very well around Xmas.

Alucard1982 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Don’t discount the 5% GC as well. They come in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Drag in a woolies or big w employee and you will get another 10% discount on top of that using their rewards card. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
