No More Monkeys Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 So whats your opinion on the affect of 60052 to the secondary price of 3677 ? Well, he can always say "oh, 3677 was exclusive to TRU", and "oh, 3677 is way more charismatic, and red!"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wanted to know the answer to my question and your explanation to back up that answer. To me, that is called a discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have written my posts in the wrong way - I was just trying to see, given your opinion on 7939, what were you opinions on the other retired trains. And I do think that 3677 is different from 7939 in terms of valuation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen9917 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Amazon increased the price back to MSRP, as well as Amazon UK. Target, Walmart, TRU, none of them have it anymore. After Amazon runs out, the only place to get it will be SAH, which could sell out quickly if they put it on any kind of discount. This thing is officially done, which may be the biggest advantage over other exclusives such as GE. We don't know exactly how long those will linger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that rerelease of cargo train is looming, matter of weeks now until oficial release. Collectors who missed it are our only hope...

exciter1 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Except that rerelease of cargo train is looming, matter of weeks now until oficial release. Collectors who missed it are our only hope... Give it a couple years and it will be $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No More Monkeys Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Give it a couple years and it will be $300. Wchich would imply annualized return of 50% or less.

boliramirez Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Well , Thank you all for your opinion. When I posted this thread I had already ordered two from amazon for a total of $290 USD. But after reading about the new cargo train that is about to come out really soon I decided to stay true to my investing rules (no city theme investments) and cancelled both.... Instead I ordered two VW campers and one SC..... I hope I made the right decision....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FISHERDUYU Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 With a good discount, city themes are good for a short-term flip. Diversified inventory is important to get a strong cash flow and reduce the risk. Given the limited resources (capital, storage space, ...), the challenge is to find a balanced inventory. Not stocking too much unless you have a strong confidence. Timely adjust the inventory based on their performance and growth potential.

Guest ph4tb0i Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Well, the set is currently worth about 230 - 250 in its "parted out" state.. so we'll need to see if you gain more than that with the VW camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but here is my reasoning, I can not Flip or part out, my main "Market" is in Mexico, here people do not buy parts of sets as in the US and i can not flip because I can not ship too often as I have to drive 3 hours and cross the border to send what I sell, but all the exclusive sets are not sold here at all, so people pays top dollar for excusive sets not available in Mexico..... to give you an example, I am selling Cussoo 21103 BTTF Delorean at $100 bucks a piece and I got them at $30 tax included, so I guess the VW camper will fetch a decent profit even when it is not EOL........

Can you share some basic strategy? I have most of a Cargo and a Red Cargo, should I sell all the tracks at once, all the power functions, etc??

No More Monkeys Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 OH NO !! When will this madness end !!????? It was expected. As long as other retailers don't restock, we are fine. And SAH will have to move its inventory somehow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I don't think it matters - this set is big enough and nice enough that it will be wanted. It may not double its retail, but I think if you got it at a nice discount you will make solid money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
