I need to sell to fund some of my next purchases but I am wondering which of my sets can I sell in order not to go in the future smashing my head against a wall.

 

The candidates I have in mind are:

 

41999 - I have 2 units, would sell one.

10210 - Only one unit. Kinda interested in keeping it.

10193 - Only one unit. Not too interested.

4842 - Only one unit. Do not take this away from my hands please.

 

I know that 10193 is in a different ballpark as figures go, but it'd be nice to have some dough to fund my addiction future investments, which will be determined by what I sell.

 

Thoughts?

can you list set names along with the #s?

Sure...

 

41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive - How can we not know this by heart ?

10210 - Imperial Flagship

10193 - Medieval Market Village

4842 - Hogwarts Castle, newest version

Sure...

 

41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive - How can we not know this by heart ?

10210 - Imperial Flagship

10193 - Medieval Market Village

4842 - Hogwarts Castle, newest version

 

for pure investment purposes, i would sell the older sets since the majority of ROI after retirement comes w/in the 1st 2 years. however, some sets to continue to appreciate nicely even after 2 years like 10179, 10196, and 7888.  it seems you have 2 or 3 sets that fall into the 2 year exception rule of thumb.

 

here is my order...

sell first but only if you really need to.  personally, i would hold for another 7 months at least.

10210 - Imperial Flagship.

 

def sell in late 2014

10193 - Medieval Market Village

 

hold since Harry Potter has a cult following and this school is likely to be in the prequel books (or was it a film. i forget. anyway...). however, sell ASAP before any refresh,

4842 - Hogwarts Castle

 

wait until you hear news of a somewhat similar refresh or ebay monthly sales become slow due to the low supply and high price  (think The Zombies)

41999 - 4x4 Crawler Exclusive

Sure...

41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive - How can we not know this by heart ?

10210 - Imperial Flagship

10193 - Medieval Market Village

4842 - Hogwarts Castle, newest version

Here's my list in order of priority (no regards for collecting):

1. 41999 - I think you might grab an extra $50 sitting in it for 1+ years, but you have two

2. MMV - this may have some room, but after a year the proof is in the pudding - don't expect bigger gains

3. Imperial flagship - may climb but could plateau with next ship release

4. Hogwarts Castle - there will continue to be Potter fans, and I could see this continue to grow

I had thought regarding the Imperial Flagship, since I had a really really really hard time selling one - had 2 until Jan - and not seeing the prices move too much, that it'd be the first one to go.

 

41999 had the fact that I have 2 units, so it would not mean that much of a disaster if it's price suddenly rose a lot.

 

Medieval Market Village came as an option as I was writing the post, but still not much interest in keeping it, right now I'd get double of what I initially invested after fees and whatever.

 

The HP sets are the ones I have the most reticence to sell as they keep climbing and climbing.

 

I think that 10210 has plateaud, hence, it gets the axe.

i vote for 10210 or 41999 too

really?  my imp flagship used sets sold pretty fast to all europeans during fall 2013.  they were listed for $305 to $325 on bricklink.

what are / have been your asking prices?
