You spelled “promoted” wrong. Both he and Jim . And this isn’t the first issue with said company. It’s not like nobody saw this coming and warned others about it. Or at least tried to.

Only thing I'm out is a few deals from others saying oh I can get more consigning with another person.

At this point, anyone defending this company or limiting conversation about them is in my view implicating culpability in possible shady activity that said company is accused and or guilty of.

I’d be big mad if I’d paid a Patreon fee for someone to tell me “mastermind” advice to use a company, and then watched both them and I get screwed. Allegedly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm only out about $3,000 in inventory from four years ago. I know some have lost much more. Smooth talking and a business plan that would work, if applied properly. I knew after approximately nine months how it was going to end. There are so many good people on this site, and so many really good companies. It's also a site people go to because of the expertise. That's the sad part about it.

you can't make that assumption. just because previous threads questioning WET have been closed by administration, and the fact that they give huge donations to the charity raffle each year, doesn't mean that they would cater to them. plenty of people on social media complaining about getting no responses, or just flat out not getting paid. they grew too fast and now boned themselves, and YOUR inventory is the only collateral they have. going the legal route may be the only way you are going to get your inventory back. so much for being an investing and reselling expert. he used them and got boned too. wonder how many he led down the WET path?

ALLEGEDLY!

Well they lowered the buy in from $250 to $200 so will be an easy pickup with Snow White or Medieval Town Square starting March 1st. There will be 3 more stores this year I predict Bakery, Pizza and Juice/Coffee, Toy store would be nice as a Wild Card. Will these help Series 1? Still no update on the Ninjago City set. It would be great to get it with points at the same time.

Really easy, Victories earn nacho dogs

Just found out they changed the build for this after the initial release and confirmed it with the BL inventory counterparts. Version 2 is more stable.

It is kinda funny.

how long til all this disappears...

why the reluctance to name names if they are bad actors

Shane on the FB group has started an interesting thread about someone and their consignment service. He's naming names!

I think most ignored it.

its not about the size of your rocket, its about how you use it. As long as you achieve blast off and avoid failure to launch its all good...

What surprises you about that? I'm not asking that in a dickish way...just curious. Once you get the hang of things, it's pretty easy to move really large volumes if you can source the inventory effectively. I'm still a solo operation and moved close to 40k sets last year.

Chris, I think you're coming in at a time where the LEGO reselling party is coming to an end. I'm not saying there is no more money to be made; what I'm saying is that the ship is full and the general consensus is that people joining now are going to have a hard time turning this into something truly profitable. Many here are getting more close-lipped on their strategies, as there is now a lot of competition. Plus, the general state of the LEGO market is post-euphoric, with too many sets out, too many people buying for reselling/investment, a reduction in buyers and big discounts around that were unheard of even 1 year ago. Combine that with an influx of new forum members over the last 1-2 years, with many coming with the expectation that they'll be handed their fortune on a golden platter, and you can understand why there is a lot of sarcasm around. This has nothing to do with you as a person. There will always be some headshaking when people hear about you plonking down 2k GBP in less than 8 weeks, but you own your own decisions. Read into the comments what you want, but see through the sarcasm and understand that some people use it to express concern about your strategy. Nobody here would chase you away - but many (myself included) will post about the victories and the extremes, not about the daily grind of investing/reselling LEGO. You might want to consider such a posting strategy yourself as well. There is a ton of info around on this forum, and lots of comradery and compassion. Take your time to get familiar with what is appreciated (deals! success stories! fruitcakes! delivery failures! set news!) and you will find that this forum will become a second home. And yes, everyone posts something sometimes that gets a negative response from others (epic deals in Target, anyone?). Just read it as it is intended: an opinion on what you posted, and use it to shape what you post and how you post it in the future. We all started with 0 posts and 0 reputation, and we have all posted stuff that others didn't like. You'll be fine
