To continue an earlier thread, here are the sets listed on S@H as "Retiring Soon":

 

Friends - Stephanie's Cool Convertible, Olivia's Speedboat, Mia's Bedroom, Series 1 foil packs

Duplo - Train Starter Set, Doctor's Clinic, Emergency Helicopter

Creator - Apple Tree House

Lego Games - Ninjago, Pirate Plank

Chima Speedorz - CHI Battles, Ring of Fire, Target Practice, CHI Waterfall

Technic - Mini Container Truck

LOTR - Gandalf Arrives, Orc Forge

CMF - Series 9

Architecture - Sugnyemun

Marvel Super Heroes - Captain America's Avenging Cycle

Star Wars - Endor Rebel Trooper and Imperial Trooper Battle Pack, Planet Bespin & Twin Cloud Car, Planet Endor & AT-ST

 

Nothing earth-shattering.  Orc Forge surprises me the most.

Beware the advice of successful people. They do not seek company.

lol how does anyone prove their success.

large set investing caters to person-to-person sales at fairs, craigslist where fees don't eat up at least of third of the purchase price and there's no dbag undercutting u a penny 2 booths down.

small set investing caters to short-medium term investors who can sell hundreds of different sku at once fba and sell and ship 100s of items a day for explosive cagr with minimal effort but requires insight into predicting winners which isn't that hard if u been doing this awhile & pay attention to variables such as sales rank on amazon or seller count.  stock outages.  etc.  

meantime, this thread has gone off the rails ...

@BrickLegacy.. you are always seeking company ... hmmmmm 

totally agree with the last line..

 

perhaps this could be some hint for the admin bros to incorporate into a "grey heart" icon a new symbol suggesting "off topic" submission - which could later on help them to set up some automatic clearing mechanism?

a thread without any conversation isn't great either.  Least people talking about something somewhat retirement related helps keep it busy.

on topic some of these speculated retiring sets will have a nice hefty discount with a nice promo in a few weeks.  That should bring some excitement to the thread.

I see it the same way as you..but honestly.. wouldtn you mark several comments in this thread (during past week) as totally off? The methodics on which basis to rule out such comments would be totally on the admins. .be it "too many dislikes" .. or some proportional ratio between the dislikes and time stamps..

Apocalypseburg and Cloud City are prime candidates for BF doorbusters.

Black Friday-ing 10243's isn't a bad idea. Your example was maximal exploitation/fees. 

I probably won't buy any, I have 3 sets I focus on right now, going deep on those. PR has to be 120 or lower for me to touch it.

ooooo do tell which 3.

Successful people keep their mouths shut most of the time because they are too busy being successful.

It's not advantageous to share anything here. If someone loads up on a set you bought, it's a clear loss.

don't be ridiculous.

why even bother posting anything then, 90% of the people here are dotted all over the globe. buying 20 harry potter sets in london wont affect bugger all in london let alone usa, europe etc.

It can be very advantageous to share under some other scenarios you aren't thinking about....

Those "other scenarios" are immoral and misleading.
