imperial_peter Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 So I found this young university kid and he needs to sell his lego as he doesn't have room for it!!! So to check it out, I picked up a 7111 vulture droid and 7104 desert skiff in mint condition with box and intructions complete. $20 and it local so no shipping!! So now I have checked it out and have made two offers and they are like this 7139 ewok attack 7115 gungan patrol 7126 battle droid carrier 7134 A wing 7203 jedi defence 7184 mtt 7155 aat that's offer one and its all open but 100% complete with box and instructions. offer two is this 7186 wattos jy 4483 at at 7180 b-wing 7141 naboo fighter 7144 slave 1 7131 anakins podracer So my dilemma is - this came up fast and It wasn't in my budget to get more than what my two offers say. I have spent quite a bit lately on 3 3/4 and lego, so I made offers and am waiting to hear back. 500 for the two above. So now im thinking maybe I could broker the rest of his sets? or just help sell the rest to make another deal on top of these. I need to do something and I never use the internet so sell or buy after being ripped of before. unless its through visa debit. paypal ripped me off and I never looked back. Any advice? The sets he has remaing are way out of my price range. Is anyone here interested? any good guesses on what you would offer for the two listed above? This is what he has left, 7127 - at-st 7151 - sith infiltrator 7161 - gungan sub 7150 - tie and y-wing 10143 - ds 2 10175 - vader tie adv 10212 - imperial shuttle 7190 - mill falcon 10134 - y wing 10198 - tantive iv 7181 - tie interceptor 7191 - x-wing 10174 - at st 7166 - imperial shuttle Do you guys broker deals? is it time to go toy hunter ? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperial_peter Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 this is the posted price list he has 7155 $50 7144 $50 7111 $10 7131 $20 7104 $10 7127 $30 7139 $30 7115 $20 7126 $40 7151 $40 7134 $15 7203 $20 7141 $20 7161 $80 7184 $80 7150 $80 7180 $30 10143 $500 4483 $100 10175 $300 10212 $400 7190 $250 10134 $500 10198 $200 7181 $500 7191 $500 10174 $200 7186 $150 7166 $150 I know that some of these prices are ridiculous but he said he was open to offers. Does anyone here see anything worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Run it through the lot calculator. It will give you an idea on where to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperial_peter Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 I did. I looked up everything through bp and ebay. some of them are off by hundreds but some are good. 500 on my first two offers is steep for us. any guesses on any sets left that would be an obvious set to get? The ds2 seems to go for around 800 and its listed for 500 but others are yikes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Sometimes if someone is high on their prices let them sit a couple weeks or a month then offer something fair, but on the lower end. Success depends on how much competition is in the area and how willing the person is to ebay stuff themselves. The point is to make a little cash and have some fun doing it, not stress out or over extend your finances. If $500 is pushing it for you, take a step back and make an offer on what you really want or think you can flip easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperial_peter Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 I can deal with the 5 bills for the two offers I already sent him. 13 sets for 500 this old is good for us. There is no lego in my area, so to have all this available. Minus of course lego you can buy in a store is rare. I just get excited on a purchase like this!!

Super stoked!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
