supergtp1 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 how do we know no restocking before cyber monday ? is that a guess or has lego stated it that would be great newsWell SAH was last taking 30 day backorders on 11/5 before going OOS so I’d assume they definitely won’t be back till mid Dec. in limited supply is my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcandre Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 The undercutting on this is insane. I just matched the low price and dropped to seventh on the list in 5 minutes. Think I'll hang back for now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to keep selling mine for $49.75-$49.95 on ebay as I've got unlimited supply at the lego store in Vancouver. I just keep on making those runs to the border to ship.

Technically not a bubble as prices haven´t fallen back to RRP or below and demand is still strong for it to be ranked in the top 100 construction toys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherJB Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Some of you may want to wait it out a week if you have lots of inventory and look to make an extra buck more. All the phantom stock by BN and walmart keeping people's hopes up high that they can get it at 25 a piece. The cancellations will send it back up again.

Think I'll hang back for now. Ebay even worse...but the algorithm does help you sell for more and keep you at the top or near the top of the 1st page. I'm assuming a combination of top rated seller status shipping and return policy have something to do with it.... I sold out of the 12 I had listed. Will wait later to list again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bouncing around for sure. I did manage to sell a couple so I climbed back up before sliding down again. I'm at $70 shipped fwiw. Looking to sell half in the next few days and will hold the other half until cyber Monday or closer to xmas. Hedging my bet so to speak.

Pebble&Park Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Received a message from one of my buyers that bought at 79.99 complaining of damage and missing pieces, demanding a refund. Likely a scammer. Experienced FBM sellers (I do almost exclusively FBA) - how should I respond to this? Just refund to avoid the A-Z claim and move on?

I would tell them to return it for a full refund. Don't give them a free set. You'll have to pay the return shipping but I would rather do that then give it away. They could send you back a box of rocks though and you would still lose the fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayxlp Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 you in US are all so lucky to have such a reasonable laws, legislature and all around it.. this "EU socialistic project" dictates that every business seller throughout the EU has to accept any item sold "at the distance (meaning mostly over the internet)" within 14 days upon receiving as a rreturn eligible for a FULL REFUND to a buyer.. and not just that.. some judicial theses are also of that opinion that you have to cover also the buyer's shipping back expenses - and the best part of it: The buyer is on the basis of this EU regulation entitled to return a:) used, opened goods.. (exceptions such as movies, software apply].. b ) return the item without its original packaging (in this case it was meant as a hairdryer etc..) .. so would you operate on this market?

If it gets messy, you can always have "fun" with somebody's address a few months later ;-) This is the risk with selling a current set at way above RRP. I couldn't be bothered with the hassle, so I'm waiting for EOL and it'll do just fine ;-) I'm surprised that more MFs aren't being returned. 1 minute ago, legodelorean said: No, sounds like a pain in the a$$.
