Unfortunately, this post is about some sets I did NOT get to buy today, and I'm pretty sure another BPer beat me to them.  To the lucky, lucky person I congratulate you on the deal of a lifetime and also I hate you forever.

Some idiot teen in Iowa decided he was too old for Lego and had his mom put up a Craigslist ad for his old sets.  New-in-box, never opened 10179 UCS Milennium Falcon AND 10030 UCS Imperial Star Destroyer.  Total asking price: $600 for both sets, less than the two cost originally at retail.

My heart hurts over this one.

This is fraud. It popped up in west Michigan and texas. There is a thread somewhere on this site about it. They give you a number to call and say they moved to Kentucky of some crap...

I saw the ad as well in Pittsburgh and texted him and he said he moved to Kentucky.  I wonder what's the point of that? To get my cell phone number?

On the other hand, I picked up United Nations for $45 in BN and Arctic base camp from Target for $45.

This week I bought 2 Indominous Rex on sale for 30% off MRSP from Argos and got a new Town Hall off eBay for €400 for my modular town. Hope to get some profit from the 2 IR post retirement to help offset the Town Hall purchase

Yesterday @Roy vd M. mentioned an offer I couldn't resist: 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel at £57.13 shipped. And today I bought a 41119 Heartlake Cupcake Cafe for 21,59€.

Still, I managed to purchase only 6 items spread across 4 sets for a whole month. That's quite a change from the previous month.

Evening Everyone,

I purchased x2 Tumblers today which included an hours drive to a Smyths Store! My journey however is filled with regret, I finally found an Ewok Village but it was for £200 and even though this set is really really hard to find where i live i left it! am i a doughnut for leaving it?

It is actually to get your number and email sometimes they even get a name and they know your city as that was where your ad was. They can sell this info. Ad this with credit skimmers in your area and your screwed

Well good thing I don't live in Pittsburgh where the ad is posted but was willing to drive there and when he said he moved to KY I stopped replying.  

2 sets of Lord of the Rings Battle at the Black Gate Set #79007

Edited February 1, 20169 yr by magicnite

Burned some SYW points and coupons on JW at Kmart.com.  Picked up two IRex for around $70 each and grabbed a couple RR for about $10 each, I had over $100 in points going in plus some vip coupons. Both are still available and not tagged as hot buys.  Also found a lonely TRex clearanced at walmart for $49. 

Bought a Millennium Falcon 75105 MISB for 105€ and a used 8087 Tie Defender for 41€. The 8087 was complete with box, intructions and even extra pieces. The owner took great care of it apart some dust in the black pieces. It was clearly a set he had for exhibtion. I'm building it, doing some modifications and then probably use the pieces for other things.

The MF, I still don't know if I'm building it or selling it.

 

Reloaded on series 7 mixels

The Kmart 30 miles away was closing. So they have all toys 30% off.

So I got all 76031 (around 50 of them) for $20.99 plus tax.

Looks like a Fair deal.

Got three 21017 Imperial Hotel over the weekend. They were on sale for £77.99 which wasn't bad for a retired set, but then I got a further 10% off to make them £70.19 each. Architecture is not as big here in the UK but even selling these at RRP would net me a decent return so I'm happy with the cost. Wasn't sure they would actually ship (as they went out of stock soon after I ordered) but got confirmation last night and the courier should be here today. Pretty good deal I think.

Also picked up two 75090 Ezra's Speeder for £11.33 each, again not a set that will set the world on fire but one that offers a decent chunk of return even at RRP.

$62 NIB (I hope!) 8087 TIE Defender.

I just bought x2 21108 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 and x2 75102 Poe's X-Wing Fighter! One to build and one to re-sell at a future advantageous time.

This is my first post, by the way!
