I think demand might be up, since the Haunted House is skyrocketing the way it is.  Vampyre Castle will be a good option for those who can't afford the big daddy.

If that would happen,I would be enlighted. Over here the price is about 175

And those who think they are buying the HH when actually they are getting a VC.

853373 Kingdom's Chess Set for 80 euro cash.

Love this set...saved one unopened for my collection.  Great value for retail price and sold very well/quickly in CAN after cleared out from stores.  I don't like the new chess set as much.

OK, I was sticking to my price point and I declared I wouldn't sell a 9468 - Vampyre Castle for less than $200.  Well, I just sold one for $200 on EBay.  Join me, raise your prices folks!!!

Well I looked the set up on Amazon.com and there are many sets between 150-200$. I just think you were lucky with that sale from a clueless buyer. So it will take more time to reach 200$

I agree, it was a little early, but there really is no reason to list these below $200, unless you need the capital.

Sold my last of 8 4x4 Ltd Crawlers for $350 CDN (paid $250), plus an old Kai's bladecycle for $35 (paid $15), and a Benny Spaceship for $100 (paid $70), all off Craigslist.

Sold off most of my Craigslist lot from 2 weeks ago ($200 original purchase price); another sale on eBay today.  All were built, no box or instructions.  Prices don't include shipping, which was charged at cost.  Here's the breakdown:

 

42006 Excavator (with power functions) $99

8547 Mindstorms NXT 2.0 $189

4505 Millenium Falcon $119

9398 Crawler $160

7676 Republic Gunship (missing 2 minifigs, some parts substituted) $50

8043 Excavator $289 (pending)

9786 Mindstorms RCX $60 (pending)

misc unbuilt parts in bulk $40 - (traded for credit at local toy store)

 

Total: $1006

 

Decent gain from the original $200 purchase, but not spectacular.  I undercut prices a bit just to move the lot.  The best part was sorting, identifying, and building the various kits.  I love that part!

$800 or so profit is always good!

Congrats. I actually hate the sorting and building. I like the buying and selling part lol. Takes a special kind of person to appreciate that aspect. I guess I don't have the patience. ;)
