sergex Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Edit: Where are you seeing that it's limited to 1 per account anyway? I remember seeing it (it was probably mentioned in this thread), but I don't see that mentioned anywhere on Amazon at least when I checked now? I also seem to be able to add another Minecraft (3rd one) into cart - which makes it 2nd for an account, the checkout button was available, but I backed out anyway. When you actually go to check out, it will give you an error saying that you need to remove it from your cart because you already ordered one. BTW, I believe that the quantities jump around because people can cancel their order for up to two hours after it is placed. So, as people cancel their orders, or if their payments get rejected, the quantities for sale will actually go up. Also, if a customer returns one or if the order is not deliverable then you will occasionally see one pop up for sale in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hengchibrick Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Bought two as well. However, selling at $60 range will only give us ~$13 profit after fees and shipping. Definitely keep a few to sell later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hengchibrick Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Edit 2: only 55 in stock now when I checked, if anyone is still looking for a Minecraft.Edit 3: 21 left now - it's going to be gone again in a matter of minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cflannagan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 How do you check their inventory? I did not see the numbers on Amazon. Using a trick mentioned earlier in this thread - add item to your cart, update quantity to 999, then hitting "update". It will mention how many are actually left. Nifty trick After it "ran out", the stock's back to 74 again. I guess as sergex said, people cancel orders or payments fail, so they calculate how many are still left and sell those. Rinse & repeat.

justgod Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I overpaid for my five copies months ago. Flipped them during the holiday season and made a small profit just to get my original investment back. My son is really in to Minecraft (not so much Lego) and was bugging me to part with one of my previous sets. I have been trying forever to grab one at this price and was finally able to today, so thanks OP ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommahas8012 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Every night my newborn wakes me up because he can't sleep unless he is being held. I always check this site to keep myself from falling asleep. Tonight I am glad he got me up when he did because I finally got one of these sets. I think all the profits from it will go straight into his college fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 It doesn't even have a back in stock date like it did last night. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Maybe that means it's not coming back again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Anyone get an email from Amazon saying it shipped yet? I guess I am getting paranoid that there was some kind of funny business going on and we are all gonna find out our orders are cancelled or something. Lol.

Matt C. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 No i haven't got anything yet, but yesterday my expected receive date was the 16th, now it's the 15th. So hopefully that means it will be shipped out tomorrow or Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 And i just checked my order status and it said mine has shipped as well. So much for me paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I am getting paranoid that there was some kind of funny business going on and we are all gonna find out our orders are cancelled or something. Lol. Mine shipped yesterday afternoon. The order placed with my wife's account will ship on 1/16 which is strange since my order was placed only 4 mins earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Odd...mine hasn't shipped yet, and I had to be one of the first ones to order. I wonder how they decide what order to do it in. Oh well, at least it hasn't been cancelled or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 At 4:22 AM they became available again.......get it before its gone, bet they are gone before sun up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommahas8012 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Everytime these get back in stock I see the ones I own god down in value just a little more. My fear is someday they will be worthless because they are the only set in my inventory that I have no desire to open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 212 sets are in-stock now with no order limited (at least for now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I honestly think you will be OK man, dont sweat it too much. I myself only have 2 and won't be getting anymore. Now that I got a few I can be over it........minecraft is stupid!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommahas8012 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I agree I am not a fan at all. I played it for 10 min once and I just don't get it. I guess if the bottom falls out of these I can always give them away as Christmas presents to my younger cousins who like the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I have one of these sets and I am content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 There seems to be some skepticism about this set here on BP and I really am not sure if I agree with the reasons people give as to why this is not a solid investment. I stand by my claim that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
