last 75920 - buy in at retail 69.99 and sold for 210 after feebay cut. 

42117 Technic Race Plane buy in was $2.50 August Walmart Clearance sold the first 40 between $18 and $99. 

Beats out Halloween Cat & Mouse for best flip of the year for me.

Nope not a typo, I didn’t want to sell the last 1 on the listing so jacked the price up from $38 to $99 but the power of Promoted listings. I checked out the buyer and looks like they can afford it but will see if I get a return once they see what is in the box.

My wife looking over my shoulder read this thread with me and says “congratulations for forking someone.”

In all seriousness though, it is still being sold for $10 on Amazon? Am I missing something?

Sometimes I think it is not good too charge this much (smaller speed champions e.g.) because all orders by uninformed buyers (who are a lot during Xmas) will be returned, because they think they got ripped off.

Anyone has experience based on data what ist doable with RRP of 10$,20$?

For me 10$/€ max is 50€, more likely 38-45, 20€ range from 70-85€, 30€ is 70-120, so roughly 4x max.

yes for example the adidas mini gwp, higher than normal probability buyer will have thought it was larger set. 1989 batmobile gwp etc

Yep, I had the mini Beetle set get returned for that exact reason.

75274 imperial tie fighter pilot helmet for $260 fbm.  4.3x msrp in a year.  how high this thing gonna git?  

Just sold one for $240 in the last few days, very glad I held back sending more in Q4. These are the type of sets that thrive in Q1-Q3 = $$$$. $260 is my new floor, thanks for the info. 

Wish I had held onto mine for a while longer. Managed to finally sell my last Classic Batcave minus box, vehicles and figures for £70.

It's hitting 190 where i live, i got a dozen left. I'm not sure if dark trooper will do as well, its pretty hard to find here. The tie fighter helmet was only sold at sah and two other retailers here.

yes 100% fbm.   i am not lowest price but i am the quickest delivery which for me means UPS ground.   about half an hour after i posted i sold one for $270.  i always list them 1x at a time.  once you list them 2-3 or more there is no urgency to buy from you since its not "the last one".  lol.

$11 away from 5x msrp.  i still gotta few.

Mine have been selling at $290.  Slow drip, but since there are few sellers . . .  Crazy.  I pretty much still have my whole stash.  Really curious what's the limit going to be on this one.

I just sold another one for 259, the previous one was 196. I got a feeling buyers are having fomo with more helmets on the way and trying hard to complete the set. 

I had only a few iron man helms and those did pretty ok too. Bought at 30 ish and sold for 150.

I've been rebuying at 250 as much as I can....this one is going to the moon!!!  1k by Q4 possible.....

 

jk, but I do think this ends up at 500 eventually

You had me waving my arms at the screen for a second.

Had to get in on the “Helmet Madness” waiting for $350 to sell more not sure if and when we will see $500 but the 3 new helmets will be bringing in a lot of new buyers. 

Man, I hate seeing this discussion. I gave away 76165 and 75274 to guys at the office. 75274 is on the ground next to his trash can, literally. I found out 76165 was returned by the other guy's wife for God knows what at Target.

The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away: I'm so close to switching out 75274 with a bottle of Jack and telling him, "I replaced that stupid toy with something you really wanted.."
