Brick bank is still alive at target - $179. That set just won’t die. How many billions did they produce?

[whoisbiggles]

haha you can order up to 10 in one go if your bullish on the old bank.

More evidence that you would have to be mad or incredible impatient to pay RRP for these.

Investment wise , wouldn’t touch them myself, but for a personal build it’s not a bad price. 

 

[whoisbiggles]

Yep too big, box to flimsy.

One of the few lines I buy and build

I know, i went to list stuff today and no matter what- it would only "until cancelled" unless I want to auction. Ebay being ebay.

[whoisbiggles]

I’ll try a 7 day auction with a bin price $0.01 difference and see how that goes.

Changed all my eBay 7 day BIN listings to 7 day auctions with a starting price equal to the previous BIN.

Added a photo to all of the listings - advising if the potential buyer makes an offer equal to the auction start price - the offer will be auto accepted.

See how we go this week, whether I fall foul of eBay listing rules or not and how sales are affected.

I have had my sub $10.00 listing on an auto relist for the last 3 months, and I wasn't paying enough attention to my use of the 40 monthly free listing. Absolutely dirty on myself on collecting 5 x $1.65 listing fees on items listed for between $7 & $10.

3 weeks since the end of 7 day BIN listings and f&*k all sales on ebay. Switched all my auctions back to GTC BIN listings - 6 sales in the last 2 days, as many as the previous 3 weeks.

eBay is super slow at the moment , hence all the 10% off codes rolling out.

75220 Sandcrawler being clearanced at Big W - $125.

Personally wouldn't touch it with a barge pole for investment / resale.

New returns rules at LEGO Shop at Home. No more return labels issued via email. Now you have to set up the return , book a day in advance, book a time and be there to sign it back to Toll.  Been through 2 pre-booked days now and guess what? No one turned up to collect. Makes sending mangled sets even harder.

And now Toll have turned up on the wrong day at the wrong time. Lucky someone was home.

Picked up a couple of 80103 Dragon Boat Race from local Mr Toys at RRP, yesterday.

Mainly so I could be sure to get boxes in great nick.

Been watching the quick flippers moving these for $130 on FBA - planning to hold on to all 3 sets from this series until next Chinese New Year.

 

[Alucard1982]

Take it with a pinch of salt, I’ve heard rumours of an international re-release. I’ve got two 80103 and one ea of the other. I’ll probably offload 1 03 to minimise exposure (I’ll keep the others to build if required).
