start dropping the price by $10 and keep going until hopefully competitors stock gets gobbled up before yours and u can reset or u have found the limits of their repricer and then adjust accordingly.

I am soooo done w/ HP sets exactly because of THIS. HP is the one series that was a reboot of fans every 3 years or so because kids are reading the books in their 4th-5th grade class...and their parents probably have a copy already. AND parents are motivated to keep their kids reading so presents of HP LEGO sets is perfect. LEGO is smart for refreshing the series every 2-3 years.

You have to either suck it up and keep lowering your price until the competitor cries uncle or suck it up and stick with a higher price hoping that they'll sell through. Colluding on price is price fixing and is highly illegal. There was a group of sellers that was recently prosecuted for some type of price fixing scheme on Amazon and I suspect that we will see more prosecutions like that in the years to come.

Personally not buying anything these days unless 1) 50% or larger discount AND a desirable set on my hit list (in the past 50% to me was a indiscriminate purchase) or 2) some unusual opportunity (like the stealth early retirement of the colosseum) Everyone thought that the new influx of sellers would spell the end of lego investing or amazon closing the gates but ironically imo its lego itself with their never ending stream of bigger and better sets flooding the market, remakes, rehashes, or otherwise. That + consumer pullback = death of investing. That said, I expect epic sales Q4 this year, so I may be dragged back in.

With Assembly Square retiring, I jumped on lego.coms 2x vip promo and picked one up. Didn’t want to skip this one before it’s gone to the secondary market.

Will wait for LEGO Shop at Home

Picked up the Lunar New Year Parade for 20% off and there's a $14 Honey reward to go with 2x points and the Scary Pirate Island set. Seems like the Halloween VIP add-on is done.

I decided to buy the bookshop today. I'm not sure if this one is retiring or not, but I hadn't picked this one up yet. Had some lego point sitting around, and the maze is netting about 30.00 on ebay, and the halloween pack is netting around 10. So, figured with 40.00 worth of promos, this was better than buying it at 2x VIP points. I'm hoping the Police Station is still around at the end of this month with the Moving Van promo. I plan on buying that one too for investment.

Facebook Marketplace find for $10.

Costco, hmmmm
