Ed Mack Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It's becoming scarce because investors keep buying them up after seeing the performance of the FB. I think only Jeff or Ed could settle this one way or the other and even then that is only a small (possibly flawed) sample of the real hoarding between the 2 sets. I still lean towards GE being the more stockpiled set by investors. I myself have 2 FB and 33 GE and I was around long before the FB retired and when it was still discounted for $119 forever. My inventory and choices may not be the same as many others here so take my FB to GE ratio with a huge grain of salt.Grand Emporium by 10%.

brettj666 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 PM members who you suspect of cheating by asking for copies of receipts. I'd have to delete my whole portfolio then. I seriously doubt I have receipts for anything not purchased last week. Do the survey and throw it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 On occasion, Jeff does random audits of the popular sets and member's Brickfoilios to make sure some jerk doesn't put in 1000 sets or some ridiculous number. We just discovered a quality member with such an amount. This is the first and last warning. Don't ruin it for the rest of us.

toycrazedchris Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 PM members who you suspect of cheating by asking for copies of receipts. I'm so confused. Is there a contest tied to a brickfolio? How can you cheat? I was considering putting in my numbers but am now a little scared for fear of being banned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettj666 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ed, just curious why would those numbers be an issue. is there a really real way to verify it unless Given that people make decisions on seal codes, it's not so far out of the realm of possibility that some people may make decisions on other people's buying habits. Like, if I was the only one to own Alien Invasion... I've said too much. If you noticed that there was 1000 more GE taken up by brickvestors, then it may affect that decision.

Ed Mack Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ed, just curious why would those numbers be an issue. is there a really real way to verify it unless There is no way to verify your Brickfolio, but we have had many instances in which a member put in crazy amounts of sets to throw off our data on the homepage or information about what members are "hoarding." For example, one person wrote they had 200 10179s. Highly unlikely. It is annoying. The situation today might be a different scenario in which the member actually had the amount posted in their Brickfolio. If the number is legit, then you have my apologies and wonder why the farts do you have so many of this one set?
