Ask them to refund you the difference on the sticker price.

I'm not fussed over a few quid, particularly as I plan to shift this in November for a lot more.

I need to save my part refund requests for tighter margins, or boxes in worse condition. I'm running at around 30% refund / return requests of late with there retired sets. You never know what you're going to get, or how many borders it crosses. Next up for me: Creator 31050 - expected 1st Feb. 

Lego 41312 Heartlake Sports Centre x 2 @ £20 each
Lego Friends 41317 Sunshine Catamaran x 2 @ £32 each
Lego 75200 Ahch-To Island x 2 @ £20.99 each

Tesco I am presuming ?? I flipped a Catamaran locally brought at that price but be careful with the weight of that if you are planning on selling on eBay it will fall into large parcel over 2kg. I passed on more and also the sports center as they were all over eBay at £30 with postage. 41312 will come good if you hold for a while as it is retired ?

Yup Tesco and Sainsbury's. Parting out the star wars sets as it's not something I've done before.

If it helps ask your friends to keep by any V08 boxes they get from Amazon for you, you will be able to send one of these (or other sets at this size under 1.5kg) under the 2KG price bracket.

I usually don't bother keeping used boxes, but i do in this instance as you can't buy them, they save you £5 on shipping each time.

I'm holding onto all the Friends bits, unless I can shift the Catamaran on Facebook. I've kept it quiet but I also got a Thor Ragnarock Super Heroes set at 50% which I'm also looking to part out. It's just something I thought I'd try with minimal risk.

Thanks, I've got a massive collection of boxes in our garage, I'm hoping I won't need to sell these until around Christmas time so fingers crossed there will be a bit more margin in these too.

Bought another 170 of The Lourve and 167 of Burj Khalifa.

75137 Carbon Freezing Chamber x2 - $4.50 WM (only clearance I've bought this year)
7470 Space Shuttle Discovery - used - $25 Facebook

Taking a gamble at this - bought 3x75153 AT-ST Walker from WM through Google Express. Had a personalized 20% off coupon in my cart with up to $30 in savings, expiring in a few days. Hopefully these ship .... $32 each before tax.

$50 local pickup. Appears to be built once and display only. I actually like this version more than the UCS one. While the proportions are still abit off, it’s not bad.

Had a bunch of points, so I went for another Classic Batcave + promo.  Come on folks, make them disappear.

Saturn V and three santa keychain figures to get the 60 years promo set.

Saturn V and Promo.

Saturn V plus promo x 2

used a load of VIP points so only £47.50 buy in per Saturn V

They might as well just have linked the promo directly to buying a Saturn V!

Let's hope that the promo wipes out S5.

Saturn V and promo x 2. SAH cancelled the second order with 5 mins. So opted for the diner for personal collection. Looks like S5 may be difficult to stock up on if being purchased direct from SAH.

You sometimes get that of you bang 2 orders through close together when there's freebies. I tend to wait until 1 order is in warehouse before placing another. 

Saturn V and the Valentine's Bee. Noticed they upped the US limit to 5 Saturn V. I remember this being 2 around Christmas.

Christmas train, speed champions Ford GT, promo. VIP points accumulated over xmas back to zero, sigh...

I'll bite at 50% off. This thing is going to sell at or under rrp for years. At this rate it could still be in stock everywhere this time next year. Every major retailer still has it. 

Saturn V and promo. In warehouse.
