After looking around on Craigslist I found this: https://springfield.craigslist.org/tag/5647062599.html

What do you guys think? 

without the list ..... all i see is boxes everywhere. 

Sounds like a serious case of "I thought I was going to get rich from selling LEGO but it's too much of a hassle".

"every damn set over the last 2 years" - Somebody sounds pissed.

It's got to be someone we know.

Either that or somebody's wife stumbled upon her hubbies' secret LEGO stash and revenge-listed it on CL....

A revenge listing would go for much less.

They won't get anything near that price for that lot any time soon...

Is it a correction?

He's asking for $12,000 but does not even take the effort to provide a detailed list?!

There's no way I could afford it but should I recommend for him to put up the list? Or is there a intentional reason someone wouldn't put out the list publicly?

Embarrassment...

Serious opinions only!

Investing in LEGO sets is the best idea around.  Either the sets increase by huge multiples in 6 months after retirement, or you just unload the whole lot to a BPer for what you paid. You can't lose.

Shouldn't that sentence contain the word "ex-" ?

Why doesn't somebody request the list and share it with us? I would but, I'm in the UK not US.

Go ahead and contact him, pretend to be serious and get the list. Let's have a giggle. There need to be several Mr. Gold's in those closed boxes before $12k becomes a fair price. Unless someone is paying $1k per Fire Truck. And where are the helicopters?

I tried, he asked to see a pay stub. Forget it!

You should send him a picture of what a real stash looks like.

When I called he asked if I was a CEO.

The tone of the ad and the free weights in the picture lead me to believe it's hcxkid; however, there aren't enough grammatical errors for it to be his.

Just a thought ... This might be our darling metalblock trying to outpace the "correction" .....

 

Based on his responses, I just don't understand why this venture isn't working out for him.  I mean I always put minimal information into my listings and then insult everyone who contacts me and I can't keep sets in stock, they're going so fast.

It kills me how people post stuff and then make no effort to actually sell.  I texted a guy who "needed" to sell 138 sets for $1,500 since he was moving.  He never even responded.

He will not share the list until I provide a detailed description of  my credenza.

Somebody send the seller a picture of your stash of Minecraft and/or City sets with a comment: "Looks like we are in the same boat"
