I'm holding steady on my SW advents.

 

I did dump my friends sets.  Had many less of them and the outlook doesn't look shiny.

See the same Galoroca seller must have had a pallet of those as well and he still has plenty left.

Do advent calendars hold any value after x-mas.

Do advent calendars hold any value after x-mas. Should I try and sell them asap or hold on to them if they don't sell?

 

Dead money until next xmas. Be interesting to see what this set does next year. A lot of people will be left holding them, it really took a nosedive the last few weeks.

Yeah, the race to the bottom started early. The demand has not really slowed down though, just people undercutting.

Guess I'm holding mine, or parting them out.

Indeed.  I was completely wrong about this set.  I sold only about a quarter of mine at $70, then waited for the price to head upwards.  Never did.  Ended up liquidating the rest ~breakeven. 

i guess the game has changed ;D people don't want to hold for more that few days ... having said that

 

i sold few advent calendars (both city and star war) i had from 2012 this year . now out of all the calendars

and then you have some people that just don't know what they are doing which hurts prices as well.  Just saw someone auctioned 5 of the same set 1 minute apart all ending on the same night.  Needless to say they didn't do well.  Then when people search they see lower prices and start dumping.

it all comes with the risk tolerance. if one has that comfort level then definitely price cutting won't happen. i never list as lowest. i usually price at the middle and let it ride.

I always look at the lowest and highest and the take an average on that I never post it at the lowest I know how much it can screw up things and then it takes a while for the price to bounce back.

Has last years drop a lot? I wouldn't mind picking up one for my collection.  Was caught off guard last year.

There is a local store were I live in Ottawa Canada. They have 2013,2012 caldendars still in stock and they ship. The store is playvaluetoys.com

So what comes in the box for this?  The one I received from Amazon had a loose seal stickers and the adhesion on one doesn't stick anymore.  The box opens without the seal rather easily so I just opened up the box.  Is the only thing in the box are all the compartments with a small piece/fig in each section?  Nothing else?

Yes, it's an advent calendar. What else would you like there to be?

Candy.

Candy.

Wow the hardest I've laughed in days.  Beat some of exciters one liners.  

Candy.

Well that's the beauty of the tray sliding out. You can remove some of the crappy builds and replace those days with gummy bricks and hot tamales.

Mmmm... Dark Chocolate Santa Vaders...

And that's no offense to exciter, he's got some darn good one liners!! 

My son ate all of the Advent Calender's candy on the first day.

Beats me.  I have never opened one up so I had no idea what was suppose to be in the box.

Should just be filled trays. The seals do pop easily and can be loose

Apparently "you never know what you're gonna get"

This reminds me of this scene in Bad Santa.  Well they can't all be winners, can they?
