justafrog Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 My point was that on retired sets (that are no longer available at retail) would not be able to be fulfilled by Amazon. But it is likely that I do not fully understand how FBA works. Please disregard my previous post due to my ignorance. FBA/Fulfilled by Amazon simply means that Amazon is acting as the shipper for stock that is provided to them by the third party seller. It isn't stock that Amazon acquires from the manufacturer or a distributor and sells on Amazon's own behalf, it's stock that Amazon is sent by third-party sellers and shipped (upon sale) on THOSE people's behalf. Retired/non-retired has nothing to do with an item's eligibility for FBA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I was not aware of the backstory. I was reacting to forthofer comment " The manager of the store told me. Everything that particular manager has told me so far, has been true. " which sounded exactly like one of the posts hxckid88 made awhile ago (can't find one right know). But yeah, I bet hxckid88 does not have that highly collectible set :-) I know what you were reacting to and you have every right to question him, but I really didn't like the way you responded to him. This is what I was talking about the other day...CIVILITY. Jason knows people at LEGO and he had enough couth to not drop any names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 My fault is that i really didn't pay attention to the 23 he had listed. My bad, i will now go light all my big sets on fire. Everyone is much smarter than me. You are a "small set bigot." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well, to my defense, he acted weak and vulnerable, by trying to defend his position. But now i see he might have some exclusive spinners to use... So if a person acts weak and vulnerable, attacking them is the way to respond? Thanks Machiavelli...

Yes, that's how they do it on the internets. I am off to CNN comments section P.S. I will try to refrain from posting snarky (and hilarious to me) comments. You are trying to run serious investment site for adults here, after all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite possible some LEGO store managers...and therefore some employees, are privy to some insider information. The hard part is figuring out which ones to believe and which ones to ignore.

johnwray Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Emazers, I love your posts, your thoughts, and you in general. You've been friendly, wise, and generous with your time and expertise. But i think you're wrong here. As a FRIENDLY bet,,,, Let's put your one SSD for 399.99 against my 23 Umbaran Tank's i just picked up for 16.79 each. I'll let you pick the duration. 6 months, 12 months, whatever. We can use BrickPicker's valuation after that duration and see which was the better investment. Stakes are, the loser has to put "________ was right" in their signature file for a year. Sound good ? -oh and i fully recognize the extra work in packing & shipping extra sets (not in listing them, that's just extra quantity on your ebay page). So we can use whatever the BrickPicker contest used to account for that. Perhaps a 'service fee' per set sold. This sounds a LOT like the Warren Buffett $1,000,000 bet against Prot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadowsk1 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm not believing this, mainly because 78% of statistics are made up on the spot. (Oops! That makes it 79%) That sounds as promising as using sex panther cologne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
