That theory makes sense. The extra stocks also caused some short term fluctuation for eBay prices.

I just realized alot of us sellers are really working for eBay the way fees and shipping rates into almost all gains in most cases.

Mentioned that some posts ago as well. I hope people listen to valid point. Anyway if these sets keep popping up either way going to impact the appreciation. Short term and/or long term.

33r2, just received from amazon

I have a sneaking suspicion that there won't be a new run. It's not much to go on, but my gut feeling is based on the fact that the LEGO SHOP SAYS IT'S A RETIRED PRODUCT.

Ah I bet you are one of those who say it is not a great investment, will be restocked again and you won't make much?

FBA crossed the $800 mark. lowest is $808

Could someone please explain the difference between FBA and the other (cheaper) Amazon listings for 10221?

 

Thank you.

FBA is fulfillment by Amazon. Sellers send their stuff to Amazon who in turn sells them on their behalf.

Non-fba is basically like eBay .

Amazon does not sell anything on your behalf, they just deal with logistics (ie, shipping/returns/holding). you still dictate the price/stock available for sale.

You wording sounds better:)

I'm not seeing anyone post their SSD Date stamps (just the one recently in this thread)  from these weeks of finds. Please do list them so we can determine if (gasp) any of these are new runs, or just warehouse stock.

 

I'm sure its the latter, but it would really shake things up if it wasn't.

I don't remember the exact stamp on mine but it was R3

If I remember correctly, Amazon's SSDs (999+) were gone in one day, long before the hoarding starts.

So, maybe Amazon is releasing this suddenly disappeared stash? Not sure what the purpose of it was. Maybe lego demanded Amazon to have formal availability until end of year?

the 999 was a misleading number. Stock dropped from 999 to 20 in 3 hours and like you said , that was before the hoarding started .

Well, it looks like the lowest FBA is now $800+.

Is possible to know the price of the last Amazon sold like on ebay?

Sent from my XT1052 using Brickpicker mobile app

That would be super because listing prices mean nothing if no one is buying! I am sure this one

Could someone please confirm what were the biggest discounts on this when sold  outside lego shop.

 

On Amazon price history in europe it went down to 290 euros and 310USD in 2013. 

 

Did anyone ever get a better mark down (not counting coupons, bashed boxes or any other atypical promos)?

I got a majority of mine from Amazon at the $310 price.

Appreciated. so that means you have doubled your money in a year. What selling point are you looking at?

I know you excluded coupons but for the record one could buy them from galeria-kaufhof.de for 277.22
