njseale Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 It will be interesting. I was going to mention something earlier but refrained in the spirit of competition, but will say it now that everything is all set. Anyone who decided to get a lot of sets is toast. It is highly unlikely someone can win that went with all $30 or less sets, the $3 dollar juice is too high to overcome. (I also think it is unrealistic to implement it like this but that is another topic.) I would be willing to bet that the winner would be very different if that fee wasn't there. Quote
Migration Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Alright Grolim, the site update is hours old, time to update the contest results I can't check at work, but I wonder if anyone picked the Zoo or VH? Quote
Grolim Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Alright Grolim, the site update is hours old, time to update the contest results I can't check at work, but I wonder if anyone picked the Zoo or VH? You're keen! I am too actually. Just woke up (it's 8:30am Saturday here) to the new update. I'll run an update today and should hopefully be able to post an update to the contest later on. No one has a Zoo. Lego pizza has 3 x VH and Stephen_Rockefeller has 10. Quote
Migration Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Damn, you're on the ball. I was joking (sort of), enjoy your Saturday and don't feel the need to rush on my account;) Quote

rcdb1984 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 VH can't mean vampyre hearse....whats it's stand for? Quote
Grolim Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 I was assuming VH was Vampyre Hearse, though Van Halen would be better Just waiting on a few set data minor issues to be ironed out. but I can tell you from my first run of the data that those with 6866 Wolverine Chopper have done well. IAmElim has his whole portfolio on them so will top the list. After the selling and handling fees are taken into account, there are only 6 out of 84 entries that have so far managed to make a positive return above the initial $1k capital. Early days though, still 4 months to go. I'll post a full league table and various stats later on tonight or tomorrow. Quote
Grolim Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Mkay, results are in! I'll crunch some numbers and post up a few more stats in the next day or 3 3 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Mkay, results are in! I'll crunch some numbers and post up a few more stats in the next day or 3 Hey, I moved up the list from 66 to 45 now! Quote
odysea11 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Feeling pretty good about crackin' the top ten! Thank you Grolim for all of your work on this. Pretty fun little experiment. Quote

Early days though, still 4 months to go. I'll post a full league table and various stats later on tonight or tomorrow. The 6866 Wolverine Chopper had a relatively low value at the moment of chosing my portfolio. I was selling them at 50$ while the value was 35,65$. It was only a matter of time before the real value would be transfered to the BP value. Quote
Guest betsy805 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 so only 6 people have actually made money....LOL! Quote
MartinP Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 so only 6 people have actually made money....LOL! I just need more time to make some serious money. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 so only 6 people have actually made money....LOL! When you account for fees. Shows all the people who talk about flipping for few dollars what happens. lol. Quote

Darth_Raichu Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I am still rooting for mikemcd to win it all. Just hold your money and do not buy LEGO He should get 0.8% monthly interest assuming he put it all in a savings account Quote

Grolim Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 Great work Grolim! I'm almost last. lol My entry ain't far above yours so only 6 people have actually made money....LOL! As DNIIM said, after fees. The "Portfolio Value" is supposed to represent the cash value realised if the holdings were sold, so the selling and handling fee is taken out. I am still rooting for mikemcd to win it all. Just hold your money and do not buy LEGO He should get 0.8% monthly interest assuming he put it all in a savings account Maybe. He's a cautious fellow and decided to put the cash under his mattress, doesn't trust dem bank neither! Looking forward to seeing what the March price update does to the standings once available.
