stephen_rockefeller Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Pardon my ignorance as I am fairly new to LEGO investing, but how is that some sets that are still in production 10225 for example, have a higher market value that its retail price?

Jeff Mack Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Basically, new sets start out high because people get them early, put them on eBay at a higher price. Once they get released the price starts to come down. You will see this in all new sets, especially a UCS set like this one. People really wanted it.

Sometimes, people are just silly and pay more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
