Phil B Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Sounds like a serious case of "I thought I was going to get rich from selling LEGO but it's too much of a hassle". 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calli Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He's asking for $12,000 but does not even take the effort to provide a detailed list?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickmaster233 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 There's no way I could afford it but should I recommend for him to put up the list? Or is there a intentional reason someone wouldn't put out the list publicly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mos_Eisley Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Investing in LEGO sets is the best idea around. Either the sets increase by huge multiples in 6 months after retirement, or you just unload the whole lot to a BPer for what you paid. You can't lose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Why doesn't somebody request the list and share it with us? I would but, I'm in the UK not US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there a intentional reason someone wouldn't put out the list publicly? Go ahead and contact him, pretend to be serious and get the list. Let's have a giggle. There need to be several Mr. Gold's in those closed boxes before $12k becomes a fair price. Unless someone is paying $1k per Fire Truck. And where are the helicopters?

The tone of the ad and the free weights in the picture lead me to believe it's hcxkid; however, there aren't enough grammatical errors for it to be his. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerEyez Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Based on his responses, I just don't understand why this venture isn't working out for him. I mean I always put minimal information into my listings and then insult everyone who contacts me and I can't keep sets in stock, they're going so fast. It kills me how people post stuff and then make no effort to actually sell. I texted a guy who "needed" to sell 138 sets for $1,500 since he was moving. He never even responded.

Rodeogeorge Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) He will not share the list until I provide a detailed description of my credenza. Edited July 1, 2016 by Rodeogeorge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody send the seller a picture of your stash of Minecraft and/or City sets with a comment: "Looks like we are in the same boat" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
