Cue in the jokes about selling certain breakfast item

Plenty of times on the forum, we see members pointing out good and bad deals from Craigslist listings. Recently I started to spend a little more time on the site to see what is going on. Overall I find some pretty cool finds from time to time. All aren't in my area, but I do like to look and see what is around. I put together a simple feature that will allow you to select several Craigslist regions and be able to look at all of them at the same time. You can also filter the listings by region easily to make it a little easier to see what is available in your area. This is a work in progress, but here are some features that I will be adding to it real soon: Keyword alerts New posts in your selected region alerts A page to view all the available LEGO listings in ALL areas so you can get a quick glance at everything that is going on across Craigslist Need to add pagination for those that are looking for a lot of areas and it downloads a lot of listings. I will have a lot of these features in by tomorrow, I just wanted to get some eyes on it and to see how it does. Please try out the feature and see how it works for you. You will first be asked to select the regions you want to monitor, then you can view those listings. The listings are updated frequently, so you will be able to see updates throughout the day. http://www.brickpicker.com/craigslist/

just cancel it and realist. I will always cancel if a buyer requests it before I ship the item.

I predict $300 on 1st day of availability, and it won't go lower than $200 afterwards

10181 Eiffel Tower - the final model is incredible

Fallingwater $175 shipped

You won't be building the car in green... http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=98281

I hope Alpine is already putting together the Bricklink parts list for this?

i would cancel it and pass on to next person in line. { unless you mentioned on your listing that the "state buyers" will pay taxes on purchase.

Jeff is at the 40th Anniversary of JAWS. I'm sure he will adjust it when he comes back.

New/Sealed Fairground Mixer on EBay $120-$20 off (gift card) + $10 shipping = $110.

Anyone seen the Batcave 6860 thread? I can't seem to find it.

Quick Flipping the Macks book = irony. I will definitely pick one up. You should start a thread, I think most on here would support your book.

Cool. Sell it for $100.00. It's worth it. LOL

My local Walmart got a case of series 13 cmfs in stock so I was able to smoosh 2 unicorn girls and 1 hot dog guy

I've never checked before. I hope their sidewalks are LEGO compatible.

Yeah, sorry. Purchasing the Batcave at retail today, is not an investment decision that I would make. It isn't a TERRIBLE one, but just not what I would say is the best use of funds. To me this set is entrenched in the slow but solid mover category. You would also be competing with most that have bought in at around $50 so would be at a disticnt disadvantage there. If you like it, and want to build it, that is a great price.

6 of the 9 Series 5 mixels went to sold out. 41539 41540 41541 41542 41543 41544. Short supply?? Increased demand from the Turg controversy that spilled over into the rest of the yellows , and extended to the blues??? or just complete Chaos.... been out 3 weeks and sold out status is a little strange. How can you not have enough mixels for the masses? Maybe time to get a few QFLL transactions out of them. Sets are selling well and blues and yellows are pulling strong numbers.

I'm moving the whole thing here shortly.

Pairing the Batcave with the Funhouse will bring $200 at the end of the year. Considering the buy-in most had with these sets, it will be almost a double-up deal after fees (and shipping)

The Facebook pages can be quite humorous. It isn't hard to pick out the movers and shakers.

I would have settled for ill-tempered sea bass

True. I just think when ep 7 is released there are SW fans who want to own an advanced (UCS) Lego X-Wing and won't care about the color or design diffs. They will just want an X- Wing.

I did enjoy the frame and interior build of it. Pretty cool.

Was my first direct exclusive set I ever built/bought Its beens displayed for 7 years I love looking at it, its just an a Amazing set.

TRU finding old stuff again... snagged 2 Creator Seaside House 7346 this afternoon.

I've seen your Craiglist ads. I know what's up!!!

Bought two Rancor Pits with the 15% coupon, 10% membership and the CP discount. These are becoming harder to find...

The husband is spending the day building Red 5, with the kid helping out when she's interested.

If I was just starting out, the Tower Bridge would be in my top 3 choices for investment purposes if I was looking to invest that money in the next 30 days. Red Five and Pet Shop would also make the list. This month you can get a free Winter Soldier polybag if you buy through LEGO Shop at Home. That's a good collectors item that you can either sell or hold for long-term.

I can only speak from personal experience, as both a relatively new AFOL and investor. I recently bought and built the UCS TIE Fighter, and my immediate thought afterward was, "I need an X-Wing to balance this thing off." So I bought one back on May the 4th. In general, I think that the hype surrounding Star Wars leading up to The Force Awakens is going to be like nothing we've ever seen before. This is a sequel to a 1983 movie that three generations of movie-goers and collectors have been waiting for. I think the next sets will sell well, but I think a lot of new collectors, who missed out on some of the OT sets will be willing to pay a pretty penny to get some of the older UCS sets. I know there is a new X-Wing set coming out in the fall (Poe Dameron's) but the new X-Wings are a slightly different model, and it won't be a UCS set. I thin the R5 is a good set, overall, but like many have stated before the biggest drawback is that stupid windshield sticker. I even knew about how difficult it was to apply going into it, and I still couldn't get it quite right and it looks like junk. Also, how there was no Luke figure included in the set is an oversight on par with the guy who thought an unprotected ventilation shaft on the first Death Star was a good idea. Other than that, I think it's a great set.

My wife gave me an Avengers Tower from her and my girls

I bought 10 more Jurassic World Gallimimus polybags.

no they do not stock these at walmart stores. They do sometimes ship large sets like that with a label slapped on. Most try to buy in case packs when buying the larger sets to try and get them shipped in a box. Some members refuse to buy large sets from walmart for this reason.

Lego Shuttle Expedition. A very strange build experience. I took this one on a business trip and quickly realized that the bags were not numbered. I scoured my room for ANYTHING to sort the colors in to, the ice cup (did you know there is the cup and then also a liner cup? Bonus!), the tray for the ice cup, the coffee pot tray, the ice cup liner... the build itself is very different and jumps around a bit to keep the techniques fresh. The landing gear was tedious but works nicely. The bay of mine for some reason does not open and close smoothly, you kind of have to manipulate the edges a bit, but it's mostly for display anyways. I don't get how both astronauts are supposed to fit in the cockpit with the roof closed so if any of you can explain that one to me... Stickers were scary, mainly because they are transparent and fingerprints came in to play. I think they came out alright though and this set is not going away any time soon. End result is great. New conversation piece for the work desk and can fiddle with it while on long meeting calls! Trying to convince my son that this was an actual space ship. He is trying to figure out where the lasers are!

you're looking at current sales at the lowest sell through period of the summer when prices are the lowest to begin with and saying its not good. This set hits 120+ every xmas, even while it was not retired. You could say the same thing about other sets that just "retired" by looking at current prices. FW sells at 130 shipped , so is that a terrible investment??? Farnsworth house is $80 at the moment on ebay. Bad investment?? Minecraft 21102 , same thing recently part of the last retired batch, $40 on ebay right now Using what a set is selling at in June is not a good example. As migration stated and Exciter it will be 120-130 at Xmas. Buying at $70 for a few month hold is not bad. Just coming out and saying its a terrible investment at retail to someone asking if that is a bad price doesn't make sense and using current ebay price makes even less sense.

Comparing the Batcave to any exclusive is not apples to apples. Comparing it to Town Hall is just unfair. Sets either go up or they don't, huh? This one has gone up, has it not?

Condone this, and can't stress this enough for new resellers. I think thats where a lot of the newbies go wrong with listing big exclusives first with no or little rep. Part out or sell minifigures till you built a solid rep and work your way up.

I lied to myself for years about the prequels. I had an intervention, sought therapy, and finally accepted reality. They are abysmal.

I don't like this. No mention of hotcakes or TRU parking lot means your new strategy has some serious flaws. Back on topic: I think the best thing that UG has going for it is that it is a really nice set. Great build and great colors with a nice assortment of minifigures and some great detail. In the end I think that is what will help this set rise and end up being a very solid investment.

Yes. This makes all the difference in the world. Great set that will make some nice gains given some time. But as we know, if a set doesn't triple in value 3 months after EOL, it's a real terd.

​The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us the SSD being in the catalog meant it would stick around for at least a few more months.

I'd love to see a Creator Expert edition of a Jeep Renegade or CJ from the 1970s or similar period.

I believe there will be lots of "Mommy, I wanted Vader! Why this Luke? He sucks! Everybody has Vader in school! *throws tantrum*" scenes.
