Brickmaster233 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 After looking around on Craigslist I found this: https://springfield.craigslist.org/tag/5647062599.html What do you guys think? 1 Quote
LegoEdison Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 without the list ..... all i see is boxes everywhere. Quote
Phil B Posted July 1, 2016 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
KShine Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 "every damn set over the last 2 years" - Somebody sounds pissed. It's got to be someone we know. 5 Quote

dcdfan Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 They won't get anything near that price for that lot any time soon... Quote

Calli Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 He's asking for $12,000 but does not even take the effort to provide a detailed list?! 1 Quote
Brickmaster233 Posted July 1, 2016 Author 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

Mos_Eisley Posted July 1, 2016 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

Guest TabbyBoy Posted July 1, 2016 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

Or is there a intentional reason someone wouldn't put out the list publicly? Expand 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? Quote

TigerEyez Posted July 1, 2016 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. Quote
Rodeogeorge Posted July 1, 2016 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
