Its pretty easy evidently to become a top seller guys. I normally don't like to brag (which I shouldn't because there are 1000 other members at least on this site better and more knowledgeable that me) but I am too excited right now. Top Seller Status Requirements - 100 transactions in a year - $3K in sales - 98% feedback - .3% low ratings - a bunch of other standards for not getting low ratings. I DID IT IN ONE EVALUATION PERIOD BABY!!! Thats right! I started in late August selling a lot and sept. 20th eval came in today!!! People I would like to thank: 1. Brickpicker 2. lego Minifigures - SOOOO easy to get to 100 transactions 3. The Lego 41999 - selling 2 for $450 each helped get to that 3K mark 4. People who post lots on Craigslist for cheap 5. People who list stuff on Ebay without checking its worth. 6. People who list stuff on Ebay for 99 cent auctions with a crappy listing. 7. The Best Offer Function. 8. TRU for not knowing how to enforce coupon rules on Ebay 9. The Mini VW and Clone trooper. 10. Walmart and Target Clearance. Anyway, just needed to say this. I can't wait for the seller discount. FEEbay becomes ... less-Fee-bay? Yeah, I need a new post end writer.

Not going to waste my time with any superheroes stuff except for Arkham. This stuff is so stockpiled it will sell for barely above retail for years to come (think MMV). I think people are expecting the performance of the older batman sets when nobody purchased them to resell but those days are long, long gone.

Sets have come back before after being sold out, don't give up on this one so easily, no one really knows what's gonna happen with this set or any set for that matter.

Because it's been sold out for over a month now... ?

Or type "over retail" and the TRU site pops up

Lol, a riddle wrapped in mystery inside an enigma.

UCS ships are meant to be tied to ceiling fans and spin on high until they hit 12 parsecs.

It depends on your definition of "worth". I recently pulled all my investment sets except one off the shelf so I can part them out, because the additional work turns out to be financially worth it to me at this point in time. If I weren't already working full time as a seller online and had other employment, holding longer term for investment, or flipping sets for a small profit, might be more attractive to me. Since I don't, I've found parting out Lego to be a fine addition to our business and cash flow, allowing me to get my money and more back out of each set faster and put it into the next round of sets to part out, lather, rinse, repeat; while still retaining a healthy portion of each set in inventory that turns more slowly (but increasingly steadily) allowing me to increase our inventory faster and actually pull a profit from this after only a very short time in Lego. For those who don't want to put in the additional time on such a project, for those who loathe that particular type of work, for those who are not organized enough to deal with a parts business, for those who can jump start their Lego cash flow with quick flipping of discount/in demand sets and/or don't need money back from their investment for a few years, buying and holding sets is sometimes the better option. But don't poo poo parting out. There's money to be made in it, if that's the way a given person wants to make it.

Yep - methinks we will see this guy appreciate nicely once it's off the major online retailer's virtual shelves. BTW, the $100 B-Wing was an absolute gift from TLC. I can't wait for the next one (if there is one).

If people want to buy and flip at Christmas or whenever more power to them, telling people they will be singing the blues or whatever come 4 or 5 years from now is silly. Some people flip and make money and some people hold and make money. Find what works for you and do it. What works for some does not work for all.

Great deal. Go get them. I usually sell those as new (damaged box). Does not,really make much of a difference

I loaded up on The Batcave and Funhouse, but the main one every investor on here should really start getting is the Batman Arkham Asylum. its easy to buy one say every month if you have the money, some people will wait til they are about to retire and at that time you might not have the money to get 5-10 or more, and here is another set that people will be mad that they missed out on. I know some guys on here are buying them now and then. This should be a easy $400 set down the road.

You can get the Jabba's palace pretty cheap $91.00 and there are alot of guys have gotten these way cheaper at Walmart and Target.I don't see why anybody would think that this set will not be a good investment, you seen how fast the price for these went up when the rumor went out that lego was going to stop making these, well when the Retiring sign pops up on Lego well more Panic buying will happen again, now if you have say 20 of these and if you can make $150 or so profit on each one would you be happy. But the big question is lego really retiring this set after Christmas or will it run til the end of 2014 like its suppose to. Well we will see. I have 47 of these and might get a few more. I got all of them for $80 each, So a few years down the road this will be a good money maker, and all those guys that ask if $69.99 for the Vampire Castle, well the ones that didn't get them will have the blues for a long time. $69.99 thats wholesale prices. And on the Helm's Deep well Toys R US has plenty for the Holidays, I been in 5 Tru Stores in the last 2 weeks and each store had at least 8 each. But next Christmas they should be close to $200

And fetches a nice secondary market average on Bricklink too!

Jabba Palace and its controversy was talked about at great length over the last year

I hate safari so bad. I don't think I have ever signed out of this site on any device. Be aware in case I get hijacked. You will notice as that person will probably post more intelligent comments. Lol. Yes, in the tech world most people refer to IE as internet exploder as it always seems to be behind other browsers in terms of bug fixes, features, and just generally breaks stuff. Most of it is really just do to Microsoft and it not allowing plugins and all sorts of other stuff. Thats why a lot of companies make you use it because it is the most secure, but it fails a lot when you are doing anything technical. I would never be caught dead using IE, but for non-technical stuff, it works fine for the most part so its understandable.

Ronda, I am jealous of your Ms. Brick user award! I want one toooooo!

Do you dress up like Gothmog, lord of the Balrogs for her? Sorry couldn't resist brochacho.

That's weird. I wonder if the tower bridge will go on sale for $428.70
