While not a buy, one of my neighbors is clearing out clutter from her house and gave this to me last night. Cannot want to go through the bin and find out how much of set 6991 is in there.

Ha, The lesson learned after two months should be STOP NOW while you can still see the top of your Lego stacks

I would extend that to pretty much all of the content creators focused on Lego “investing.” I’ve watched a number of those videos and they mostly strike me as uninformed crap, regurgitated crap, or veiled marketing pieces for the creator’s paid content. At best, there are a few nuggets of good info buried in all the surrounding noise. My favorite was one made by a guy touting the lessons learned from two months of investing in Lego.

I wouldn’t analyze anything this guy says.

Won't you be my neighbor? Seriously, that's a really nice neighbor, and congrats. (: Yay LEGO!

Man, if only. Give me a $450 set equal to the Ferrari. Complete with Auto Jack, Belt Tires, Cutter Blades, Homing Robot. Can only dream.

All taken care of. Thanks @mplsabdullah for smooth transaction and customer service

He definitely counts GWP sales returns as part of the discounts he says he can get on sets. He has said so specifically when talking about how to get discounts on things like modulars. His claims of getting those discounts are counting money from sold GWPs, credit card cashback, VIP points, and all other forms of potential cashback(Honey, etc.) stacked together. Though that Stranger Things BH set being Lego exclusive means you can't buy them in bulk(limit 2 on SAH), and being that they are $20 ea. $40 is hardly netting you a particularly great GWP. I mean if you could buy unlimited amounts and you bought say 8 of them for $160 and that qualified you for a good reselling GWP like Forestmen's Hideout($150 buy-in) that you sold for $40 after shipping and fees. That would be a 25% discount that you had to work for, then 5% VIP discount, maybe 3% from a good credit card cashback program. Still that's only in a world where you could actually buy in bulk which isn't real, which means you have to be buying other sets from SAH to hit a good GWP threshold, and anytime you are purchasing from SAH you have opportunity cost with regard to savings unless they are exclusives.

jims fav phrase is: "if you know what youre doing".... sooper sekrit

Yeah it was a rhetorical question. But you are correct, buy in below reality and sell above the same.

It's a Lego exclusive, so nowhere. Unless you count VIP points and GWP as a discount. Also love his ROI computations: buy price pre-tax to amazon selling price. Ignoring fees and taxes 🤦‍♂️

Ugh, this guy strikes again. Anyone know where you can get ST BHZ at 20-30% off in the USA?

She's a trooper and likes to keep busy. She still push mows parts of her yard and maintains a huge garden. She goes to exercise 3 days a week, volunteers at the hospital, and is in several community organizations. I have to make appointments to see her. She really stepped it up several notches after my Dad passed away.

I feel you with this. Wife tested positive last Thursday. Knowing I won’t quarantine her off I went and bought a solid supply of groceries. I tested positive on Sunday afternoon. I was literally hitting range balls that morning feeling great, and I wouldn’t have believed it if you told me within 12 hours my fever would be 102 and me down for the count. I’m improving now, but only slowly getting my strength back. It sucks! Get better!

Started feeling under the weather during the weekend. Felt like the flu, but different. Knew immediately what it was. Took the test Monday. Boom. Covid. Anyway... Thought I'd feel better enough today, but no. Had to sell my tickets for the Dodgers/Mets game this afternoon.. Argh!
