Val-E Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I doubt that these orders will be fulfilled based on previous experience. I ordered mine at the beginning of Nov with a confirmed delivery date of 28th and it got cancelled then the ad came back again two times each at a lower price but still with no fuflillment date.

legomark3 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I see the grand emporiums are showing a sale price at shop at home now. Don't remember that last time I checked. Think we will get the official "retired" tag soon then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo2112 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Both FB and TH have seen a healthy bump in the last couple weeks. I bought a couple of FBs at $275/ea and 2 THs at $300 just a few weeks ago. This leaves GE as the only retired modular not to break the $300 barrier, and frankly, given FB prices closing in on $400 and TH in the $440 range, it leaves GE roughly 150 below the next lowest priced retired modular. Moral of this story? I think GE is a bargain right now at $240 on Amazon with free prime shipping. I just ordered a couple more. I'm literally betting that the TH/FB fever reaches GE in the not-too-distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricketycricket Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I would be very cautious about buying $240 GEs and I certainly wouldn't throw the word "bargain" around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Something inside my cerebrum tells me to NEVER pay over RRP for a product not yet retired as it may still come back if the fat lady isn't on stage yet. If I miss the boat, I miss the boat and wait for the next one but, that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sometimes paying more than retail price for a set that is retired or pretty much retired is fine. Yes, the GE is all but labeled retired. How much does one expect this set to increase over retail price during the first 3 years of retirement? Everyone will have a different answer. I'll post an example with my own sample #s. Many would say that a good return on an exclusive might be 50% during year 1, 25% compounded during year 2, and 15% On top of everything, you need to remember seller fees. If the buy-in for a GE is already 50% over retail (poster mentioned $240), I might think twice about buying it from an investment perspective. Now if one speculated the GE's annual ROI to be 100%, 50%, and 25%, then I would be more inclined to pickup the set. Like stated previously, there are other sets that can be had for a possible greater financial gain. I want to make a nice amount of money after fees especially when shipping a bigger set (it's a pain, hassle, etc...) My own opinion, I would spend the $240 elsewhere. While a nice set, the GE doesn't have the short retail life appeal of the TH to help it propel past the Fire Brigade since that set was referenced by the poster. Additionally, many weren't caught off guard by the sudden unavailability of the GE like the TH and FB. Something inside my cerebrum tells me to NEVER pay over RRP for a product not yet retired as it may still come back if the fat lady isn't on stage yet.
