Alpinemaps Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 There was an error with the sales data for that set going in to 6862-1 and not 6862-2 for the last 3 periods. Jeff has corrected it. Those who have the set in their picks have been contacted via PM and asked to reconsider their choices. Stupid Lego, reusing numbers! Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I thought I was missing out!

Grolim Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Dang it, blacklisted again. Just messing with you man. You can play if you want Quote
dibole Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 You mean 9473 Mines of Moria? It's $79.94 each. Picking 10 would still leave you some cash to play with. Want anything else or good to go? im good, sorry my mistake. since its percentage I really only need one of them but i'll stick with 10 Quote

Alpinemaps Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 This is going to be fun. Looking forward to this. Here are my picks: 9516 Jabba's Palace $109.32 75005 Rancor Pit $47.35 3184 Adventure Camper $44.48 9474 Battle of Helm's Deep $159.48 10216 Winter Village Bakery $129.25 79111 Constitution Train $90.81 3063 Heartlake Flying Club $32.84 x2 = $65.68 9467 Ghost Train $73.86 x2 = $147.72 9468 Vamprye Castle $99.13 x2 = $198.26 Total: $992.35 Since I still had a few dollars left to spend, can I add on: 30106 Ice Cream Stand $5.60 Thanks!

Grolim Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Since I still had a few dollars left to spend, can I add on: 30106 Ice Cream Stand $5.60 Thanks! No problem. Done. Quote
tonysbricks Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks, was the $3 thing a new rule or did I just miss it? Pretty major loophole without that restriction so I am glad it's there. Gandalf (or the 57x superman pick) would have destroyed the other choices. I am out of ideas since not in a buying phase so I'll go with my standby large undervalued choice: 11x 79111-1: Constitution Train Chase @ 90.81 each for a total of 998.91 Quote
Deeker Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I am going to gamble on this one: 49 79001 mirkwood spiders @$20.00 please Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I am going to gamble on this one: 49 79001 mirkwood spiders @$20.00 please Why not 50? Quote
Deeker Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 ok bump me to 50, I thought I was going to allow room in case of a few cents. Quote

It definitely changes things for the small sets as you need a decent increase just to cover those transaction fees. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 3 x 10227 ucs b wing @ $182.33 2 x 10229 winter village @ $152.51 2 x 6869 quin jet @ $73.36 total $998.73 best game ever I missed the part about $3 per set addition do I need to repick? Quote
dpwagner Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Decided to go with Lone Ranger stuff. 10--6862: Superman Vs Power Armor Lex--174.10 5--79110: Silver Mine Shootout--276.05 5--79111: Constitution Train Chase--454.05 2--79109: Colby City Showdown--88.12 Total: 992.32 I can't seem to find the edit button so I'll just quote myself. Instead of 6862, I will go with 2 more Constitution Trian Chases. My new list: 5--79110: Silver Mine Shootout--276.05 7--79111: Constitution Train Chase--635.67 2--79109: Colby City Showdown--88.12 Total:$999.84 Quote
Jojoyojimbi Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Simpsons house has no data yet sorry. We aren't using retail prices This rule is stupid for items that we believe will be EoL before the end of the year, it's not our faults that the info in the database isn't up to date I believe the best two sets to invest in for the entire next year will be Marina Bay Sands and the Curiosity rover, I think they'll both be short life, super high returns and if I was investing the $1000 for real I'd buy them exclusively Quote
Jeff Mack Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 This rule is stupid for items that we believe will be EoL before the end of the year, it's not our faults that the info in the database isn't up to date The data for the set from 5 days ago isn't even available for me yet to push it through even under the best of circumstances. I don't receive non-stop flowing of data from eBay every time a set is sold. Quote
Grolim Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 This rule is stupid for items that we believe will be EoL before the end of the year, it's not our faults that the info in the database isn't up to date I believe the best two sets to invest in for the entire next year will be Marina Bay Sands and the Curiosity rover, I think they'll both be short life, super high returns and if I was investing the $1000 for real I'd buy them exclusively That's ok, you don' have to enter if you don't want to. It's almost impossible to replicate real life investing in a game like this, and we aren't even trying to. It's just a small slice of it that has an even playing field for all participants and helps mimic part of the investment decision making process. Including retail prices throws up other issues like retail buying limits, discounts ("who pays retail anyway" will be a big outcry), and arbitrage between retail and market prices. It's much simple for this first shot at a virtual game to leave them out. Quote
