kf852 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 HI all, I started invest in Lego since I bought a few creator series for my daughter a few months ago and found that how much value it can increase. I am shocked to see some increase two or five times in a few years. When I did my my research, I found this site is very useful and good to get deals and knowledge. Nice to meet you guys and like to learn more from you! I will share my thoughts in the investment forum and looking to heard your feedback.thanks kf852 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrick_louis Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Investing in Lego might seem like a no brainer but turning it into profit is a lot of work. The set has to double in price to actually break even if you consider fees, shipping cost, etc. There are also more and more people like yourself investing in Lego these days so sets don't appreciate that fast anymore. I started investing a few years ago and now feel I should have been more selective in my investing. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One may avoid fees on craigslist but really a hassle to go back and forth emails with buyers. Also,the price is actually not that great.Any more website/blog/books you recommend to read for brick investment? Any good experience or story you can share about how to make a good selection?

Also, what is the rank/reputation really used for other than feeling better? Is there special function will be allowed with higher ranking? I can't find it in FAQ...I think the FAQ should be updated and explain how the whole reputation/ranking works... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there special function will be allowed with higher ranking? I can't find it in FAQ... I think the FAQ should be updated and explain how the whole reputation/ranking works... That means you read the FAQ, good on you. In the end, the rank/reputation is just to make people feel good about themselves. There is a limit to how many "likes" a user can give in one day (but I can't remember what the limit is) and it's just a way of gauging how much other members feel you are contributing to the forums by either posting deals, posting interesting links, being helpful, etc...

It helps to get an avatar too...as I feel like I know people more by that then their actual username. Cats seem to be pretty popular around these parts.
