local sw lego for sale. advice needed

[imperial_peter]

So I found this young university kid and he needs to sell his lego as he doesn't have room for it!!! So to check it out, I picked up a 7111 vulture droid and 7104 desert skiff in mint condition with box and intructions complete. $20 and it local so no shipping!! So now I have checked it out and have made two offers and they are like this

7139 ewok attack
7115 gungan patrol
7126 battle droid carrier
7134 A wing
7203 jedi defence
7184 mtt
7155 aat

that's offer one and its all open but 100% complete with box and instructions.
offer two is this

7186 wattos jy
4483 at at
7180 b-wing
7141 naboo fighter
7144 slave 1
7131 anakins podracer


So my dilemma is - this came up fast and It wasn't in my budget to get more than what my two offers say. I have spent quite a bit lately on 3 3/4 and lego, so I made offers and am waiting to hear back. 500 for the two above. So now im thinking maybe I could broker the rest of his sets? or just help sell the rest to make another deal on top of these. I need to do something and I never use the internet so sell or buy after being ripped of before. unless its through visa debit. paypal ripped me off and I never looked back. Any advice? The sets he has remaing are way out of my price range. Is anyone here interested? any good guesses on what you would offer for the two listed above? This is what he has left,

7127 - at-st
7151 - sith infiltrator
7161 - gungan sub
7150 - tie and y-wing
10143 - ds 2
10175 - vader tie adv
10212 - imperial shuttle
7190 - mill falcon

10134 - y wing

10198 -  tantive iv

7181 - tie interceptor

7191 - x-wing

10174 - at st

7166 - imperial shuttle

Do you guys broker deals? is it time to go toy hunter ? lol

I know that some of these prices are ridiculous but he said he was open to offers. Does anyone here see anything worth it?

Run it through the lot calculator. It will give you an idea on where to start.

I did. I looked up everything through bp and ebay. some of them are off by hundreds but some are good. 500 on my first two offers is steep for us. any guesses on any sets left that would be an obvious set to get? The ds2 seems to go for around 800 and its listed for 500 but others are yikes!!!

Sometimes if someone is high on their prices let them sit a couple weeks or a month then offer something fair, but on the lower end. Success depends on how much competition is in the area and how willing the person is to ebay stuff themselves. The point is to make a little cash and have some fun doing it, not stress out or over extend your finances. If $500 is pushing it for you, take a step back and make an offer on what you really want or think you can flip easily.

I can deal with the 5 bills for the two offers I already sent him. 13 sets for 500 this old is good for us.  There is no lego in my area, so to have all this available. Minus of course lego you can buy in a store is rare. I just get excited on a purchase like this!!

[imperial_peter]

So I heard back and he accepted my offers!! I got all the sets I listed in the first post for $450! 13 lego sets I have never even seen in real life!!!  I figure I saved about $200 and im gonna throw a few more offers at him soon. Super stoked!!!!
