What does everyone else think investment wise in the next few years from now? Anyone think this set will reach at least $500 in 2 to 3 years from now?

Got a few for $270 but it seems a bit much to me since most u.s buyers probably got theirs cheaper than this.

thoughts?

classic reseller question.

I think it's 2-3 year appreciation potential will come down to what else LEGO continues to release.  If we see more pirates/ships themed sets (including Ideas and Bricklink line) then I think this set hits a plateau ~$300.  But if we can't sniff another big pirate ship for years like the most recent "drought"  then its ceiling is much higher.  Similar situation for the Castle themes.

 

Its already at 315 on amazon

I think we see 375 come Q4, purely because of the really short lifespan. lifespan is critical to appreciation. My shelves of tower bridges can attest to that.

Was this set not always in stock at Lego shop or stores through out the past few years it was out? Is this what you would mean by really short lifespan? I was not really paying attention to stock numbers the last few years as I bought a few at the last minute before they were sold out pretty much.

Anyone want to sell theirs for $325 with shipping and via Zelle?

I'm looking for a really nice box. I see $310 on Amazon and a little more on eBay.
