ED-209 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 nothing too exciting but myers having a BOGO 50% off so that 25% off each similar price item. offer end 1st March (sunday) I'm wondering why I don't hear about these sales. I'm on the darn mailing list. Does it apply to online purchases as well? I did order a couple of sets from the 20% off tip posted here last week. Arrived today. Very well packed and MISB.

Alucard1982 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Probably seen instore as I haven't seen anything come through either, looks like it doesn't apply to online (which is normally the case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 No it doesn't apply online, unless they suddenly change their mind and chnage the website after midnight tonight. I didn't see any DO in the stores....are they out in any myer store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFFOL Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 DO would be great, but what about some architecture? Or have they yet to restock their shelves from after christmas. Our Myers is pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED-209 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 DO would be great, but what about some architecture? Or have they yet to restock their shelves from after christmas. Our Myers is pathetic. I wouldn't rely on B&M Myer to have any of the better or rarer sets like architecture in store. My 20% off purchase last week was an online purchase, and it was Architecture. Not sure if this is an exception, but the 20% was applied to online as well as instore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alucard1982 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I can't bring myself to buy Chima even at 40% off! Made that mistake before, took me ages to offload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 oh well. i also realised that Chima is bloody hard to offload. Anyway just for my own build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffProbst Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Frozen sets have hit Myer. If purchased at Buy 1 get 1 50% I think that these can still be flipped for a tidy profit on eBay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules_K Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Nice one, so you got 2 for $75? That has quick flip written all over it! I give it about a week before prices come crashing back down to earth. I checked out my local Myer yesterday but there wasn't really anything of interest, none of the new stuff was in. I might just get some of the small architecture sets for myself for personal build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how many are left as there were plenty available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silliebaby Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Frozen sets have hit Myer. If purchased at Buy 1 get 1 50% I think that these can still be flipped for a tidy profit on eBay So the only reason the prices on eBay are inflated on this set is because it wasn't available till now right? So only quick flips on this one until everyone else figures they're available in stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules_K Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That's right Jeff, it's a very similar scenario to the Minecraft sets late last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silliebaby Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Might get the new set of SW microfighters for myself, saw these available a couple days ago at Myer. Edited February 27, 2015 by Silliebaby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFFOL Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 New Frozen movie to come out this year guys, so the castle is hot and will continue to be unless they release other frozen sets which I have not heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules_K Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hot for retailers? Yes. Hot for resellers wanting to make a margin after fees and postage when it is widely available at RRP? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFFOL Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hot for retailers? Yes. Hot for resellers wanting to make a margin after fees and postage when it is widely available at RRP? No. Could always have cash on pick via gumtree. However, I have not seen this set in the flesh in my region, is it truly that widely available?

Jules_K Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Could always have cash on pick via gumtree. However, I have not seen this set in the flesh in my region, is it truly that widely available? Not yet, but give it a few weeks and it will be, the fact that they have been spotted at Myer is a very strong indicator they will be everywhere soon. Once they are available at retail outlets the price on the secondary market will come plummeting back down to earth. A good example of this is how all the Minecraft sets were selling on Ebay for above 2x RRP in November and December because they were released overseas but not in Australia. Even as recent as January The Farm was averaging cose to 2x RRP: http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=21114-1 Now if you go to Ebay and look at the sold prices on the set you can see the effect that retail availability has on the price of a set.

Jules_K Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Urgh our dropshipping mate Avanco is back in business: http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/avanco/m.html?item=111519351166&hash=item19f712417e&pt=AU_LEGO&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 I do wonder if he really has 10+ Town Halls? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite sure I bought a set off him from gumtree. Pickup locations are same as the ebay ad. Says he has a warehouse on the ad, Big seller here in QLD by the looks of things, he had a few MISB large sets with him when I picked up. I might buy from him again, he sells large exclusives for 10-20 bucks off RRP, at least ones that are still available from SAH. What made you think he's a drop shipper?

He's not a drop shipper from the description of his items, by the looks he may be a wholesaler with a courier deal (hence why he only posts to ACT, NSW & QLD). I'm glad that he has raised his prices on retired sets as it gives the market an indication that is the platform that items will be sold at. Like the market at the moment (who has become inundated with new sellers, which will probably be half gone by Christmas) he only really presents a threat to QF or those that engage in this more than a hobby.

Jules_K Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 There was a poster a few months ago who purchased from Avanco and said the item was dropshipped, maybe he uses a few different methods of selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
