pins79 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Are these worth getting during TRU BOGO? Price would be $30 a piece plus tax. What's the upside on these? Quote
legopocalypse Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 they seem to be averaging $55-$65 inc. postage Quote
@rtisan Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 they seem to be averaging $55-$65 inc. postage Based on this, you should be able to clear $10 or so each, provided you can sell on the higher end. Just thinking: $60 selling price - ~$9 (15% ebay/paypal fees) = $51 Right off the bat that leaves you with only $21 , minus your taxes (not sure where you are) and postage. You get $10 profit if you can account for both of those as being $11. Not sure if you can. $65 would be a more comfortable selling price I`d think, but this set is still going up in value. May be worth picking up to see if it will reach $75-$100 by next Christmas. Dino has only been gone a year, and this is a nice set, it shouldn`t have issues reaching this price point in time. That said, if you manage to get $10 profit each at a $30 + tax buy in, you make about 30% profit now anyway, which is nothing to complain about Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I would grab them in a second. Great set. I got a bunch in a TRU sale for $24. I sold too quickly (at 60$) because I was looking to increase my capital. I have a few left and I am keeping them. Quote
Ciglione Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I found some 5888's for RRP. Should I pull the trigger and pick them up? Quote
TheOrcKing Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I found some 5888's for RRP. Should I pull the trigger and pick them up?I could easily say yes without hesitation but I am compelled to ask if dinosaurs are popular over there too? I love these sets myself. Quote
Ciglione Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I could easily say yes without hesitation but I am compelled to ask if dinosaurs are popular over there too? I love these sets myself. They became popular once they became scarce. Strange psychological thing but oh so true. Quote
biniou Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Wasn't it a toy's r us exclusive ? If you can have some for MSRP (about 35e ?), it may be ok... 29e => ok 39e => I would pass As for me, I would only take like 2 or 3 sets (yes it's few) because I don't think it's a very seeked after set. (do you remember that I was unable to sell my DINO HQ for months at MSRP ?) Selling them for 49e seems realistic for europe, maybe 59e if you are lucky and not in a hurry. The ROI doesn't seem so cool if you have to wait for 6 month to be able to sell one. Such sets upset me, I feel like they stare at me and laugh, and when I can get rid off, hearing them say "ah ah ah you kept us this long and only made 5 euros ah ah ah". That's why I would say "yes" if you already have other dino sets because you could pair them with another set, it might help them to be sold... until a new dino theme comes. Quote
holleman67 Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I sold a bunch at $70 shipped, with most going to russia Quote
