cladner Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 i sold mine in July and August so my timing was good . Many times mine sold and I wasn't the lowest price either which is always weird. This is just one of those sets where you drink the kool aid, place your chips and let the wheel turn.Get a few, get a lot, get none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold-Arrow Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think the return will be pretty good on this set, just not this year . We shall see in few months . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm glad we all have our own strategy... even if I don't comprehend some of them. Yep. My money is tied in a few different things. These were going to be a quick flip, but I don't see that happening this year. I have 12 that I was collecting during the early spring, and will hold onto those for the long haul. Everyone also has different standards in ROI; if I can't double my money it is not worth the time and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcbarcelona101 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Even with the current waves the prices have maintained relatively stable at $110 or so BIN. It is only September, so demand from end users will obviously increase as Holidays approach and that might be when we start seeing a lot more listed too, possibly pushing the price down. It all depends on how heavily produced this set was during the previous months...if it disappears relatively early again, then all bets are off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami Bomb Squad Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I don't know how anyone is making money on this set selling for $110? (some even lower) with free shipping. That is just plan wasting time and effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I don't know how anyone is making money on this set selling for $110? (some even lower) with free shipping. That is just plan wasting time and effort. Assuming eBay, $110 - $16 (pp+ebay fees) - $11 shipping - $70 cost (assuming no tax) = $13 I personally prefer everyone to sell now rather than later 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just plan wasting time and effort. Well they are making money just not much. Looks like the cutoff to break even is roughly $93 but that is with free shipping and cost to ship out at $12, all of which is variable. I'm still waiting on mine from amazon. Iffy about ordering too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrrobot Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Breaks my heart every time I see a Lego box come in like that. It never stood a chance.

Guest Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Amazon has just been awful lately. Just awful. The boxes they use are about as thick as craft paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
