Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Twas the night before Clearance And all through the aisle Steamrollers were packed Into my cart like a pile Exo Suits were hung In the storage with care Knowing that in a decade They still will be there Sergeant Jyn Erso was nestled Deep under my bed With terrible proportions And a face that looks dead Wonder woman in her armor And cheetah in her cap The lasso of truth will tell you That this set is pure crap When out on my doorstep A noise shook me awake ShopJustice still delivering Olaf Flat as a pancake Faster shipping than FedEx The turds as they came I cried and I pouted As I called them by name "Now, Dots! now, Mario! Now Lego Movie 1 and 2! On, Raiders! on, Mighty Dinos! On, Takodana and constractables too! To the depths of the dumpster! Stacked 50 feet tall Now throw away! throw away! throw away all!" Each year I make efforts To donate a bit more But Toys for tots sends a bill For returning them to my door Since I can't give them away I'll dig a big pit It's the final solution To get rid of this sh!t I shook as I laughed At the thought of relieving this pain It was nearly 3am So I looked quite insane As I poured the kerosene I cheered with delight "I'll light you on fire, So you're out of my sight" Edited December 7, 2022 by brickvoyeur 15 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember buying 10x Baxter Robots from LEGO Shop at Home when they were half price at £19.99 and sold them all for around £50 3 months later. I'll be keeping a close eye on their "Sales & Deals" page this BF weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a profit that mainly comes due to a buy-in at -50 % does not make a set under-the-radar gold. You can sell any Lego set for a profit if you bought it at 1/2 RRP. And apart from that Turtles was a real investment bust (for Europeans). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apart from that Turtles was a real investment bust (for Europeans). OK, I stand corrected in this context. In my other line of business a "sleeper" is something often overlooked that's available to the general public for a certain period at price A (whether RRP or not) and is then sold at a price of say, 2xA or more very soon after in the aftermarket. I do this with newly discontinued bike parts in bulk which is actually better as nobody worries about box condtion. As far as LEGO sleepers at RRP go, I think those days are numbered if not, gone already. The days of buying at RRP to invest are long gone.
