That's not nice. Sorry, nobody cares whether or not you care whether or not he buys it.

Wait until Nov. 14 when they will be 90% off

Finally finished building mine. This thing is awesome. Wish I had more zombies.

It's Christmas. It's not as though Lego needs to give it's customers incentive to buy when people are going to buy either way.

Here's the 60060 Auto Transporter: It looks like it has a new design. It's not just one of those same old trucks that we usually see in the City theme. What are your thoughts on this set?

I would grab one from Amazon now before they are gone. There is limit of one on Amazon. They are sold out on Lego.com Get one from Amazon.com Now $149.99 Get one from Target for $149.99 Get one from Barnes and Noble for $149.99

I have bought some bulk lots of used Lego for our eBay and Bricklink business. I'm not thrilled with how well (they don't) sell on eBay for the price I want, and I would rather keep our Bricklink store 99% or better new parts. I have noticed when buying bulk lots from the sources I'm using that I end up with a lot of what look to me like mostly-complete or perhaps even complete sets. What I would like to do, pending further research and cups of coffee, is to clean and sort these incoming Lego, make a nice big friendly spreadsheet of all the parts I glean from these bulk lots, and enter all those parts into a special dazzling Lego database of happiness which will spit me out a list of sets I can make or almost-make (I'd like something that would say, "You lack 18 parts to make a Set Number 000 WhooHooMobile!) with the parts I have. I have glanced at Rebrickable and Peeron and both seem at that first glance to be interested in me telling them what SETS I have so they can tell me what other stuff I can build from those sets. I don't want to start from "I have this set" I want to start from "I have these 8,000 random parts, what can I build?" Provided that makes any sense and anyone has any advice, I welcome input. Thanks!

Well it's been overcast for the past week, and I'm on a Mac. LOL. AND there are 5 other devices on the same network right now. It's done now, but I don't have time to read it at the moment.

The Penguin set is going to be in the 12.99 range. Definitely a great scene from the Batman Return 20 years ago. It might not be as valuable as the Catcycle or the Captain America set in the futures.

How intriguing. I may have to check my Target's aisles and see if I can come across a couple of hidden gems. :shifty:

If you look in the menu off the home page there is a link for top selling sets. That will tell you what sets sold the most that month in eBay. It will also dhow you where it ranked in prior months. Hopefully that will help you some.

For popularity, you just have to make an educated guess. I would take a look at the sales numbers in the price guide as a rough guide.

You can find the release dates for sets on brickset.com. It is mostly for the newer sets. How popular sets are, I have no idea how to find that out.

LOL. I don't care if you care about anything I ever post about. Besides, I never said a thing about investing in this set in any way. I was referring to its value as a set to build, and Oldsmobile summed up my point beautifully. I won't be picking up this set to build because the only thing that interests me in this set for building is the manual/booklet (emphasis on the word ME. I'm voicing my opinion, of which I am fully entitled to do so). It sounds like you don't build too often, since by the looks of it, you only invest. I'd give it a try...might help you vent some of that hostility.

Short production run if it's really gone, great book, niche audience who had shown the willingness to spend for the Architecture line that HAS retired....I will pick one up to speculate.

$7-8 bucks doesnt seem that great .. Wouldnt it be better to purchase it at lego.com during say the black friday promo period for the christmas set?

Surprise.

Set up some categories, and familiarize yourself with markdown manager in case you want to run any sales at any point. You can also now set your listings on vacation if you need a few days off, with one button-click.

A lot of these are on the LEGO site now... EDIT: Link Removed...click the banner at the top and go to the LEGO site and then buy...

Here are some new superheroes sets: Now we have official images for the 2014 superheroes sets.

TRU is the only one carrying these in my area over the past few months

You can change the product number on that page and they have the other one in stock.

Positive feedback is a positive feedback is a positive feedback no matter what the actual comment is. Nobody read comments on positive feedbacks anyway. DSR = 5 is very hard to maintain. As long as it does not drop below the threshold for TRS status, there is nothing to worry about. Just block them and move on.

I got the ucs b wing on the tru sale for 149.99 with the free y wing pick up at store and they gave me one of the bricktober sets. Today went to a Lego store and found a 41999 @retail.

I recommend the following to anyone struggling with complaints from their buyers. For me, it always seems to be a better alternative:

1. You can do a full refund through paypal for a return or offer a partial refund and the buyer can keep the item. These are now options in the item not received claim process that can be initiated by the buyer. These funds may be held by paypal as soon as a buyer makes a claim if you are a new or low volume seller. 2.A buyer can return anything for up to 45 days if the buyer claims it is not as described. You would have to refund any shipping that you charged and even if you offer free shipping you will be out the cost of the postage. You do not have to refund he return shipping this is to be paid by the buyer some will insist they should not be out anyway and depending on the mistake you may want to refund return shipping as well. 3.Paypal will make you take it back if it was damaged intentionally by the buyer or in the mail or however any item can be returned for any reason real or imagined, 4. You will win most of the time if it is over 250 you will also need signature confirmation. USPS delivered status is good in a dispute if it is to the correct zip code only that matches the buyers paypal address you will lose if you ship to another address provided by the buyer. They can also try to do a chargeback through paypal we are waiting on the outcome of one now and we will see chargebacks are tricky and are always a threat fro someone who does not pay with paypal fund and has notifies the credit card company. We are like 3/3 winning chargebacks as a seller so far so...

1. Yes, a refund indicates a seller giving some or all money back to the buyer. If you're trying to ask a more specific question than that, I don't understand it, please rephrase/elaborate. 2. You set your own return policies on eBay. you can accept returns (in which case you accept returns for ANY reason, including the buyer doesn't want it anymore) or you can state no returns. If you state no returns and the buyer claims the item is not as described, you will be accepting a return or you will be refunding the buyer without a return, however. 3. If a buyer intentionally (or accidentally) damages an item and returns it to you, you can report the buyer for abusing return privileges. Depending on the buyer's previous record and your own record on eBay, plus any facts that can be provided (emails back and forth, whatever) eBay will decide who to side with. 4. If a buyer claims non-receipt on a shipment under $250 and the seller has tracking that shows otherwise, the buyer will lose. Over $250, the seller must also have a delivery signature. You can read up on a lot of this on the eBay seller help pages. They are extremely beneficial to new sellers, and even old biddies like me occasionally find something we didn't know (or that has been changed) so they're worth making a regular part of your work routine. Edited to add: Since you're in Australia you may want to ask these questions on the Australian sellers forum on eBay. Not all eBay rules are worldwide - there are some differences between ebay.com and ebay.au, etc.

I think this guy here digs the VW Camper Van 10220:

Can we please steer this topic back to the 41999.....There is a thread for Ebays GSP. Thanks.

While you may have read my question to be phrased in a sarcastic way, it was not intended to be. I was simply asking whether the clear implication of his statement was accurate. And if that implication was accurate and he is, in fact, trying to stay under the reporting threshold for the purpose of avoiding paying taxes, I would most certainly call him out for that...not out of fealty to the tax collectors, but because it sets a bad example for all of the folks here who are just starting out and just starting to think about the issue of taxes. If people walk away thinking "hey, if someone like him is not paying taxes on these sales, then maybe I don't have to as well," that's dangerous because it could cause them to get into a whole lot of trouble down the road.

Turning bunches of Captain America sets into SSDs wasn't much work.
