hepcatpunk Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Picked up a bag of ~50 Spongebob keychains off ebay for ~23 shipped. Will be a slow seller, but would think I should make many times my purchase price over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 A NISB Lego Garmadon's Dark Fortress 2505 for $125CDN. It's not for investment though... It's going into the "when I need to bribe my kid" pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueriderbrick Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 legodog did you order them all separate or grouped ? I ordered the batcave and two minifigures and the boxes were 4 times too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legodog Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 legodog did you order them all separate or grouped ? I ordered the batcave and two minifigures and the boxes were 4 times too big I ordered them all separate. Each box was 1 Batcave and 2 minifigs. Some boxes were a good fit but others were huge. I guess it all depends on what the person packing them picks. I think I just got lucky this time as I have had a lot of things shipped from TRU before that were damaged. I actually have a bunch of Cavalry Builder pancakes sitting on my desk to return yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 brought 10 x 71006 today at different lego stores. going to hold on to this for awhile. Just curious why you bought 10 of these right now to hold on to for a while? That is $2000 you could have invested on retiring sets that would make you a profit quicker. You might now be sitting on that $2000 for the next couple years earning nothing. Unless maybe you are going to flip them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwixom Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey fellow brick maniacs TRU has a deal right now that if you spend over 75$ you get 20$ off your order plus free shipping over 49$. Considering if I placed separate orders, I could get this off each set I buy. I was thinking of bundling these as a "Mine" package. With Gold Mining shows on TV becoming so popular, I would think this would be a very cool package or at least valuable as far as the popularity of the mining shows. I would like to know if a few sets are worth buying? The Mine # 4204. 109$ 89$ from 109$ Mines of Minora #9473 79$ from 99$ Lone Ranger Silver Mine Shootout #79110. 79$ from 99$ I know the others will fair well down the road, but #79110 seems risky since the Lone Ranger sets didn't do too well. Brickpicker has these sets on a descent but it hasn't been updated since Nov last year. Thoughts? Thx! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickpicker has these sets on a descent but it hasn't been updated since Nov last year. Thoughts? Thx! 1. $89 isn't really that great of a deal on this set. That is less than 11% off. I would try to get this one cheaper. 2. Again I think $79 is too expensive for this set. You may have missed the boat on getting this one cheap. 3. This isn't even moving at around $45 so I would stay away from this one unless you can get it 50% off or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerTime Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 ummmmmmmmmmm I don't think they will be appreciating much while they are in stock. Sshhhhh while some people here use their funds on sets not retired, that means there are more retired sets available for me to buy!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 ummmmmmmmmmm I don't think they will be appreciating much while they are in stock. My point exactly. These are going to be worth $200 or less for the next 2 or 3 years. If you spend that $200 on something that is on its way out you will start earning money faster. Lets say over the next 2-3 years you can get back $250 for each of your 10 $200 investments. That is $2500. You can then spend that $2500 and get 12 Simpsons Houses instead just as they are on the way out. It's all about timing. Why tie up $2000 for the next few years when you can buy these on the way out and make other investments in the meantime. Us more experienced investors are just trying to offer some assistance to the newbies is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
