mr2uboy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Stumbled upon this ad on CL. Seems to be a pretty good deal given the GG and Motorized Walking AT-AT is included. I can probably part with the rest and still come out on top wouldn't you think... any thoughts? Selling a whole bunch of opened Lego sets with instructions! These are in excellent condition because nobody under 35 have touched them, AND ALSO have never used their teeth to pry them apart. Most if not all of these sets are discontinued. The collection is pretty varied but includes 4 of the modular buildings - The Pet Shop, Grand Emporium, Fire Brigade, and Green Grocer. Other notables are the Medieval Village, walking Star Wars AT AT, and a huge Technic truck set with power functions. Pictured are a few sets I had assembled. Please see the whole list of sets below. Asking $600 for the lot, or make me an offer. Please reply via email. Thanks! 8019 Star Wars clone wars spaceship 8017 Darth Vader's tie fighter 8060 Atlantis submarine 8014 star wars clone troopers 8970 Agents mech 7033 world city bank truck 10178 star wars motorized walking AT-AT 8258 Technic Crane truck (huge, still have the box for this) 10197 Fire Brigade 10185 Green Grocer 10193 Medieval Village 10211 Grand Emporium 10218 Pet Shop 7628 Indiana Jones Plane 7682 Indiana Jones temple of doom car chase 7052 Alien Conquest UFO 7051 Alien Conquest UFO walker with hilarious headcrab 8097 Boba Fett's spaceship w/Boba Fett figure and Han Solo figure/frozen in carbonite 8080 Atlantis mech 7050 Alien Conquest space-car 7938 Commuter train set - with tracks and remote/power. Functional train set 6869 Marvel Avengers jet with supercool Iron Man, Black Widow and Thor (and I guess Loki is cool too) figures A whole mess of the collectible figures in silly combinations, like 8 tennis players (I'm not good at being lucky with those) + 5 or more small sets that I can't find the instructions for, like the Lex Luthor mech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnb_boy_3 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Are you insane? Either they don't know what they have or they're trying to scam you (or worse). Jump on it like a flea. But take back-up. That lot would be a dream come true for me. Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would jump on that in a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTX Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 They either don't know what they have or it's a ploy of some sort. Get on it now, because if you haven't already, its probably gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysbricks Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 GG alone will pay for most of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr2uboy Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think I'll pass since my $$ is tied in getting other sets. I posted the ad link http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/tag/4006329904.html should any members in the SF area want to jump on it. The seller seems legit as he provided me his home address location. I emailed him with some inquiries - posted are his replies: "Yes the sets are complete - they are boxless but everything is there, along with instruction booklets. There are actually a few sets in there that I didn't list, small vehicle or figure sets. I have them in tubs and attempted to sort them into compartment boxes before getting bored of it - I'll toss all that in." "The sets pictured in the listing are assembled. I can leave them that way or take them apart, your preference. Everything else is unassembled." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnb_boy_3 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Almost thought about moving to San Francisco just to get this lot. Lol. Never find a good deal like that around here. It's a wasteland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idunno101 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 He is clueless Maybe he got into some fight with his wife so now he's trying to get rid of all of this ASAP. It's an odd thing to do but if it would mean keeping your wife then sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wasteland What part of Texas do you live in? Austin and Dallas seem devoid of deals and are overpopulated with investors, but some other pockets of TX are more forgiving.

terrymc4677 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I am sure whoever gets this will be sure to offer him more than the asking price. You know, kind of like what the guys on American Pickers do when they come across some uneducated schmuck who gives an asking price well below market value. Pickers karma!

It could turn into a bidding war, which I imagine happens quite frequently on this kind of thing. 1st responder agrees to purchase, begins trip to meet with seller, second responder is told the item has sold and counters by offering more than 1st responder, seller tells first responder the deal is off, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny I was just watching that. I offered up on deal a few times. Landed me a 10179 taj Eiffel all for 1200 bucks . The guy was asking 500 for all. Pickers karma works!
