siddji Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I am in the process of acquiring these Lego sets. He is asking $1000.. If I buy them today (maybe in next 3 hours) and as a lot. No boxes, but states all are complete and with manuals. Thoughts? $1000 is not a small amount to shell out at once.

dcdfan Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 What's the catch...? If you don't grab this bargain, someone else will... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddji Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I guess am thinking taking his word for that its complete. And show up with $1000 cash at a starbucks. From pictures it looks the are 98% complete (Modulars). The death start I cannot tell and no way to tell (will count the minifigures). He has to sell them today supposedly.

dcdfan Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I wouldn't waste time or chance losing out but that's me. Even if you're missing some, you can buy the missing on BL. I think it's a steal... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddji Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Planning to meet in 2 hours .. will update how it went. His kids are done with legos and he needs the cash I guess. I will take a hit if they are missing pieces, but I am assuming its worth it. Now to call chase to have atm withdrawal limit increased.

ichiroll Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Please, you'll be fine even if they are missing pieces. Not like you are buying 20 lbs of loose Lego in a tub. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post exciter1 Posted July 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2016 I think most here would buy these for a $1000 if they were found in a pig sty and covered in muck. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buidee Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Buy it, you wont regret it. Green Grocer, Cafe Corner, Death Star, Beetle, Vader Tie, Fire Brigade, c'mon great deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddji Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Appreciate the feedback. Yes I did ponder what's the catch. I guess its that you have to buy all for $1000 as he needs cash. I just wanted to share to make sure its not one of those too good to be true or Show up with $1000 cash and expect a bad scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post siddji Posted July 3, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2016 $800 later (that was my atm max) nothing I could do I ended up with all the sets . I was like $800 and that's all I can do due to actual limitation . After looking at used sales value on eBay these I think I can get double my investment .. But these are going in my room as part of my collection 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_rpg Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 That is one amazing deal. I think you can even get you money back by just selling Café Corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyhanukkah Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'd also like to chime in and say you made a killer deal, especially showing up with only $800!!! I would be on cloud 9 if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these are going in my room as part of my collection This is spectacular. I dare say a better deal than $1 Spaceports or $12 Sandcrawlers in my book, given that these are all retired and you truly made all of us jealous. I'm hoping none of it turned out to be kragled (that was the thought that popped into my head at night), but boy do I wish I was you right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
