DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 So I got a bunch of these right before they disappeared off the planet overnight - all under $15. Some for $12 something. Anyway, My target with smaller sets is hopefully they will double quickly, and then sell them and be done as they usually have lower ceilings and they are better for quick transactions. So wolverine, probably somewhat influenced by Christmas, is sitting at almost $40 on Ebay. Which presents a question: 1. I could go ahead and double my money on the 15 or so I have now, walk away with an 100% ROI in about a month. Pros: quick money I can reinvest, also if these come back into stock its free money as I can get more. Cons: May miss out on more growth. 2. I could wait it out. Pros: POssibly more strong growth. Cons: Could make another wolverine figure, probably wont continue to grow at that rate and has a ceiling as a small set. Also could come back into stock. Just curious as I am sure others see this delimna. What do you all usually do in this situation? On Captain America, I was sitting at 200% ROI so I just flipped them knowing another is coming out. This ones a little tougher call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 At this stage there isn't even a sniff of a rumour that we will see another Wolverine right now (though I do expect it). Hold for now, your initial outlay wasn't much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akohns Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I sold one of my four for $45. I just keep numbing the price $5 when I sell one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinP Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I would sell a few, maybe 3 or 4 just to get some money back to reinvest in other sets while the price is still high. You can hold the rest for the possible higher return in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsrock507 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Gotta trust the guy with the Wolverine Avatar. lol i would recommend selling half and keeping half edit: i think you need to be more worried about the release of a second deadpool as opposed to the release of a second wolverine.

belljohn Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I didin't realize it spiked so much. I bought most of mine at Target's cyber sale for 13, so I am going to start listing them one at time and ride it slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaredseiders Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Lego hasn't announce this set as retired and there's not another one on the planet that is in regular retail right now. I believe that means they are bringing this one back after Christmas. I sold the 30 I orders from Walmart at 16.19 each. After fees, the take home was $33.66. That's a little over 100% ROI and I was very happy with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I just sold my used set for $20. maybe should have held onto it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppsagehen Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 With stocks a strategy I like to use is to sell enough to cover my cost basis and then let the rest ride on the table... that way even if you have regrets later it's not complete remorse...
