bluebeatz Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm new in this 'buisness', but I've reag a lot of blogs an forum-threads in the last cuople days. I'm planing to invest about 2000 Euros or more this year. But I'm not realy sure on what Sets I shuold focus. I want to buy: 2x SSD; 2-3x HH; 2-3 GE; 2x T1 Volkswagen and 2-3x TB I don't like the R2-D2 sculpure should I invest in it? My plan is to buy the sets shortly before they retire or for d good discount and then I'll hold them for minimum three years. On which Set/s should I focus and buy more copys (5 or so). Excuse me for my bad English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick_slayer Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The sets you've chosen are the common ones people feel will do well in the future. But no one knows when they will retire. TB came out in 2010 I think; it could be around for another 2 years (like the DS). On top of the 3 years you plan on waiting post EOL, you want to make sure you are fine sitting on product for 5 years. Regarding a good discount, they will be rare if at all since these sets are all exclusive (I think). Europe had the SSD on sale for May the Force (US didn't). TB, T1, and GE will be unlikely to get any discount on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asharerin Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The best investment is in your online marketing skills. If you cannot move inventory then what sets you buy becomes irrelevant. Paper profits are for losers, cash is king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlenut Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 All the ones you mentioned are good investments. I would also check local retail outlets for deals. You can flip these sets on eBay or somewhere else and free up more money for larger sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'd buy some Town Halls instead of so many HH's. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a huge amount of them. I'd also add R2D2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebeatz Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 The TH will retire next year as well as the Red Five X-Wing so I'll buy it next year. What do you think about R2-D2 better than HH an GE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I think your plan looks good. Just diversify and spread risks. Make your own judgement as well. People are as diverse as the different legosets. Personally I do not mind to invest in creator and city as well. If the sets are special they will do good. Like the city mine and space sets. Whatever you do. Do what feels good and follow your gut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
