Any particular reason to sell in15 days vs now other than to hope the price will be at $75 by then?

I am torn whether to pick some of these up or continue to grab RE 75920

I think your risk is lower with RE 75920.  I have the break even price figured out for each of my 75097 and 60099 to unload at if the end of November comes and the price is still in around $60.  I think the guarantee of a profit on 75920 is more certain and grows as you get closer to Christmas, rather than decreasing.

A couple of major retailers in Australia have had these discounted by 40% since last week. Will be interesting to see what happens with it in the lead up to December as it still seems to be freely available from a number of places at RRP and below.

What is the best way to post these to reduce postage costs ? Can they handle wrapping double in bubble wrap ? Or are they too fragile/

Brown paper twisted (with the set inside the shipping box) works well.  Search for the packaging thread. Very helpful.

You really want to send someone a sealed set this way?  Have you ever ordered a set online?

Trolling newbs is kind of you folks!

 

I always send mine bubble wrapped and boxed in an additional box for protection. I have for 8 years . But when you are competing against others who only bubble wrap and can send cheaper , I was wondering what most people do? Post can vary from country to country , as to how roughly it is handled. Some of the posters who post in just bubble wrap have 100% feedback score on ebay . So I was wondering if I am doing more than is necessary with post .

probably would be a lot better than say Target, Kmart, Walmart, Amazon, and Toys R Us Ship.  They just throw it in a picture frame box 20x to large and let it rattle, or slap a label on her.  Or my favorite Target put 5 Knowhere Escapes stacked upward in a box meant for 4.  

At least it showed you cared and bubbled away

 

The Quiznos sandwich wrap and fast rising yeast boxes are where it's at.

 To answer your question I feel like the delivery of your product in the quality of the box the thickness the tape the label and how it is packaged and is what defines you as a seller it is the initial presentation to your client for their impression of you as a seller. Therefore you should invest heavily into the presentation. I am not saying bubble wrap and box every item but you should have paper stuffing carefully protect the item place it in a durable box that is new and not used and ship it to your customer. If you do enough volume it will be worth the expense long term and gained sales in my opinion.  Box yes paper stuffing yes bubble wrap highly valued items. Hope this helps ...

The box is fragile as is so "naked" is a no no ( always is in my book). bubble wrapping and box is a bit of an over kill. Some brown bags and a sturdy box is more than enough .
