You are buying @ a certain price expecting an acceptable return based on a myriad of factors. For people who know what they're doing by paying attention and completing their homework, picking smaller sets that will perform well post retirement is not exactly a mystery. I meant buy-in against RRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladner Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) lol how does anyone prove their success. large set investing caters to person-to-person sales at fairs, craigslist where fees don't eat up at least of third of the purchase price and there's no dbag undercutting u a penny 2 booths down. small set investing caters to short-medium term investors who can sell hundreds of different sku at once fba and sell and ship 100s of items a day for explosive cagr with minimal effort but requires insight into predicting winners which isn't that hard if u been doing this awhile & pay attention to variables such as sales rank on amazon or seller count. stock outages. etc. meantime, this thread has gone off the rails ...

crayxlp Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 totally agree with the last line.. perhaps this could be some hint for the admin bros to incorporate into a "grey heart" icon a new symbol suggesting "off topic" submission - which could later on help them to set up some automatic clearing mechanism? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenb99 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 a thread without any conversation isn't great either. Least people talking about something somewhat retirement related helps keep it busy. on topic some of these speculated retiring sets will have a nice hefty discount with a nice promo in a few weeks. That should bring some excitement to the thread. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The methodics on which basis to rule out such comments would be totally on the admins. .be it "too many dislikes" .. or some proportional ratio between the dislikes and time stamps..

I probably won't buy any, I have 3 sets I focus on right now, going deep on those. PR has to be 120 or lower for me to touch it. ooooo do tell which 3.
