Wow, I feel really stupid now for all the Mighty Dinosaurs I’ve been stockpiling the fast few years . . .

Camp Nou now 50% off at Target https://www.target.com/p/lego-icons-camp-nou-8211-fc-barcelona-10284-building-set/-/A-83345638

I have 2 extras CItF’s that I would trade for who knows what. (I’m good on Market squares tho…!)

$290, ouch. I have an extra Castle in the Forest but I am saving that for a potential Chalet trade. I might have to finally give up my built Market Street, I heard demand is high for some people with a weird fetish

another idiot, stopped watching at "patreon consultation" then complain about crowding. smh

Thought they were set reviews and a vague prediction about investment value later on. Been so long I can’t remember. However I have to agree with everything @redcell has been posting

Gee. Somehow I must have missed that…I also missed the part where the Macks and other posters distill essential points of reselling into easily digestible content that any slack-jawed yockel who read about how LEGO is worth more than gold can find, consume, and get well on their way to getting in the game.

If they’re making money on the content, good for them…I don’t think making content is stupid in and of itself. What’s stupid and short-sighted in my mind is someone who is trying to make a serious go if it reselling LEGO and at the same time creating content instructing other people on how to invest/resell. While you’re still operating at a relatively small scale (e.g., less than $300k/year in sales), it’s easy to get lulled into viewing the reselling world through a “rising tide lifts all ships” lens and mistakenly conclude that the market is so deep that the scope and extent of your competition doesn’t matter so why not train up a bunch of new resellers if you can generate some additional revenue off of them. However, if you scale past that point, the effect of competition starts to become more pronounced and easily identified. If the content creators are really aiming to build a sustainable reselling business, teaching other people to do it too is a profoundly stupid thing. If they are trying to leverage knowledge about reselling as a primary source of revenue, it’s not stupid at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good read on dropshipping on Amazon forums. One guy posted a creative way to cost dropshippers some money and the dropshippers (presumably) flagged that post to hide it from view https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/reporting-an-arbitrage-drop-shipper/1255240/8
