The hard part is actually photographing, listing, negotiating, getting packing material, doing the packing, shipping cost, going to the post office, (or not), hoping they arrive, dealing with returns, insurance claims, paying ebay fees, paying paypal fees, paying taxes, etc. Other than that,,,,,,,yes this is easy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am at 6 of this set. It is a lovely set though (and his book with more bird designs is great). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo2112 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I was an early believer in this set, look at early posts in this thread. I hit my quota of 50 sets late last year. My average buy-in is $34. I used every trick and bought 2-4 sets at TRU each week, stacking $5 off $25 and 10% off deals. I'll start unloading these now, a few sales at $75 and see where it goes from here. Easy set to pack and ship, for once. Cheap shipping, too, compared to modulars and UCS sets.

Buying is by far the easiest part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm just watching the ride on this one. I hope it's good for you guys but I just never saw a huge appeal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weitzel78 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I like the set and think it will show modest gains. That said I was not buying with both hands, even after retirement. I just have 6 and will probably build one. Would love to see $100.... but that might take awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martae54 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Snatched up the last 3 sets of 21301 birds that i can get my grubby paws on. I did have to pay $46 a set with my 10%..BUT After seeing sales this week. I have little doubt that we will see $100 or more by Christmas. On eBay there are only 3 sets available @ $65.. With the average asking price being $85. Feel free to look for yourself because it is hard to believe how well this set is doing so quickly.

dcdfan Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Available at Barnes and Noble.com and Walmart.com (again or still)... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midbenne Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 B&N TOOS online per their site. Probably would have grabbed a few with the 10% off but not sure on WM, b/c w/my tax that's about $48/$49....now $30 previously, that was worth it...but for $50 let's say, well the set will cost $10 to ship and then another $7/$8 for fees, so to make some money it would need to be upwards of $100 to make that worthwhile...but then again who knows...WM still available...anyone grabbing at retail?

Well guess those who wanted retail are out of luck. I think I'm ok with the 4 - 5 or so I have...hopefully this is a sign of good things to come for this set. Do I hear $100? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
