1 x 41999-1: 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition = $ 360.94

2 x 3931-1: Emma

57x  6862 Superman vs. Power Armor Lex. 17.41 each, 992.37 total

Cool idea, have been hoping to see this. one piece of feedback: the extra 3 bucks/set changes the game in a big way. Maybe it's a reality of the business of flipping for such a short term time horizon (i.e. trading) but it's the equivalent punishing one for having small cap stocks. next time I'd reconsider that.

Thanks.  The $3 per set is a hard cost to pin down.  There is inherently more cost (be it time, packaging, logistics etc) in selling 100 sets at $3 each vs 1 set at $300 for example.  How much that cost is, is very hard to determine.  There was a forum post a while ago that I remember having a poll on the time it takes on average per set to deal with listing, packaging, driving etc and it came out around 10mins per set, so $3 felt like a good point to start.  If at the end of the game it looks like that was a bit high we can adjust it next time around (if we do it again).

Nice choice!

I NEVER pretend pay "retail" or "going" price. Guess I can't play.

I'm with you on this one. count me in on 10 vc's

 

 

 

edit---the quote didn't work. someone else said 10 vc's as well

 

and if we can't double up, put me at 9 vc's and 1 mini modular

There was an error with the sales data for that set going in to 6862-1 and not 6862-2 for the last 3 periods.  Jeff has corrected it.  Those who have the set in their picks have been contacted via PM and asked to reconsider their choices.  Stupid Lego, reusing numbers!

Sounds good to me.  Consider yourself not eligible to enter.

You mean 9473 Mines of Moria? It's $79.94 each.  Picking 10 would still leave you some cash to play with.  Want anything else or good to go?

Dang it, blacklisted again.

Okay, yeah I meant the emerald express 31015, but now I realize there's not data on Brickpicker for it so I'll switch to the Friends Squirrel House 41017 in addition to my 10X VC (9468).  Thanks!

Ah man I must have missed the $3 per set charge, pretty much makes my pick a dog. Owell.

I'll play

26x9448 samurai mech @ 38.23 for 993.98.

i'll do 9 vc's and a mini modular, just for S and giggles.

What an awesome idea guys!!  Think I know what I`ll buy in with, so to speak, but will hopefully post an entry tomorrow.
