My first buy for resell was one of the modulars. I think it was either Pet shop or Grand Emporium. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the modulars as long as you buy at a discount and keep them for awhile after they are discontinued..

Bought 3 Minecraft sets last Dec '12 and sold them for $55 each. Cuusoo sets are non existent here.

So you bought it in EU? That's a solid price for a great set. Just a little bit too new for long term.

Yeah got it in eu. So will just sell it asap.

I bought a MISB Cafe Corner for almost $600 after watching the values of this gaudy and tacky set continue to rise from $300 in a few months.  It was then I realized that the Modulars were a fan favorite.

First new set was a Market Street at a garage sale (got her to sell it to me before her sale started as I was buying used lego from her anyway) for $75.  It was that moment right there that I realized that new lego sets hold serious money.

My first set I ever bought for resell was Dino 5887 for $69. But then I opened it

 

My first set that I actually kept was Vampyre Castles. 3 of them. Still have them along with a hoarde of others. Damn you TRU.

First sets I bought with no intention of quick-flipping were 2 Grand Emporiums. I have a couple of Live Stars I got just before the no-discounts policy went into effect which are at this point long term investments, even though I wasn't thinking of them as such when I bought them over a year ago. *Sigh*. 

 

(It only took a year, but I'm finally at the point where I'm actually investing...next thing you know, I'll be making snide remarks about quick-flipping low lifes LOL)

My first set was the LEGO Super Heroes The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape (6857). got it at TRU when they were having buy 1 get 1 50% off. Hopefully TRU will sell out of these at some point.

Probably three Kai's Fire Mechs after reading this forum for a couple days in January 2013.  Not a wise purchase, but I did score three Imperial Shuttles on discount that month that I still have.

My very first was sopwith camel found on craiglist got him down to 50 dollars NIB because I bought a Fire Brigade off of him for 235. My second investments 2 Grand Emporiums and now my gfs closet is full of large boxes mostly HH.

My first investment set was the 10197 and I bought 5 of the first edition ones. I still have 2 of them. I doubt I will ever sell those

7199 Indiana jones temple of doom x3 and 3222 helicopter and limousine x5 both from walmart at retail. Those both turned out pretty well.

I started out with 2 Vampyre Castles, 2 Funhouses, and 2 GE's.  At the time, I was planning on building one, and saving the other to resell later.  My stockpile has since grown....

congrats, i think i started with FB and GE, was a rough couple years questioning what i was doing as they took quite a bit longer to retire than expected.

Fire Brigade from a local store after sold out at LEGO Shop at Home. Should have bought the other one that they had

I started with some Batman tumbler polybags and then bought the Batman Manbat set. I also bought 2 Delorean BTTF sets. I'm hoping once they go eol they will increase in price. Lego investing is fun!
