tmock12 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Ah.. So now the clue points to Simpson house retiring.. Sneaky! LOL, I feel bad for Ed. He can't say anything around these message boards without someone thinking it's a hint. Guy never gets a break. 3 Quote

ISO8T0 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Wait what was the Thursday post/hint again? Quote
cladner Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Interesting. It sounds like you may have a feeling about one and are about to drop a unique hint. Does anyone else feel like marcandre and valencariac and are turning their town halls into Red 5, Sea Cow or another set? It is an intriguing thought about turning 10 town halls into 20 or so Sea Cows. I still am thinking the town hall may turn a better return in 2 to 3 more years than a sea cow but now you have me questioning that I should save a couple of town halls and flip and move on at $500 each. its a lot more work to flip a town hall into something else, hope it retires, flip that, hope it retires, and hope that those appreciate rather than just sitting on a set you know is going to be a top performer over the next 5 years. sometimes making a lot of money is really as boring as doing nothing but waiting. doesn't feed that addictive buzz of hunting chima on clearance, or the unbridled childhood lust of dozens of new boxes of LEGO being delivered or that new box smell. my overall investing/business goal is to do as few transactions for as much money as possible. TH fits in nicely with that plan. there's too big potential for seller's regret with this one when you have to sit back and come up with justifications to yourself why you sold a TH at 500 when they break through the $600, $700, $800 level much quicker than you thought it would. what other set or combo of sets is going to give you this type of return this quickly? TH is the dream investor scenario - a modular retiring with little warning out of order. the party is just getting started. 6 Quote
Ed Mack Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 The Town Hall will be "defining moment" in Flipper history...It's do or die Flippers...What do you do? 1 Quote

Ed Mack Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 It sounds like from Cladner and you we need to resist and holdDon't listen to us. Just make sure.the sets you are flipping into are retiring and are worthy replacements. A tall order. Quote
Veegs Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Don't listen to us. Just make sure.the sets you are flipping into are retiring and are worthy replacements. A tall order. Dare I say impossible? I can't find a better set to dump cash into at the moment that I'm sure is going to EOL and spike in price similar to TH. Quote
ravenb99 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Don't listen to us. Just make sure.the sets you are flipping into are retiring and are worthy replacements. A tall order. geez now thats the biggest hint of them all Quote
MathBuilder Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Tall like a tower? Two pillars or one? Quote

Bold-Arrow Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Tall enough that u need to stand on top of a tower and stare towards the middle of the earth? 1 Quote
Cross Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 The only set which may, may fit the bill is Lego 852711. Refreshment is timeless. Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Tall enough that u need to stand on top of the a tower and stare towards the middle of the earth? Well I am wondering for once that maybe there is no hidden message. I take the answer to Veegs as literal. I am terrible at this. You and raven have all the answers. I am a big Lotr fan but I do not see it appreciating like Town Hall has so far I have some but not sure I want a lot. Quote

I don't see any set appreciating like the TH anytime soon Quote
Ed Mack Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 There is no hidden message, just mathematics. Quote
