July 16, 201312 yr My initial thought on most all of these deals on eBay is that its a scam but bottom line is we don't know, maybe he had a bunch of VIP points to waste?
July 16, 201312 yr Author Could you even break even at that price? I don't remember seeing any discounts. Two words: Lego employee. The seller also has an r2-d2 for $150
July 16, 201312 yr Two words: Lego employee. The seller also has an r2-d2 for $150 Looking back at his auctions he has done this alot. He has also accepted a lot of best offers. I think its a drop shipper. He sold a Haunted House for less than $150
July 16, 201312 yr Two words: Lego employee. The seller also has an r2-d2 for $150 With the $25 flat shipping charge though its almost retail.
July 16, 201312 yr And?????? What do you mean? I am saying on that one he is not really offering you that much of a discount over what you would get it for buying directly from Lego.
July 16, 201312 yr I'm sure it's legit, the guy has a picture of the item he's selling. If he had a stock picture, this would be immediate red flag, but there are legitimate reasons for someone to sell below retail, we are just jaded because we have seen all the seedy things people will do to make a buck.

To take being jaded to a whole new level, who's to say the set in the pic is the set he is selling? I cant tell you how many times i've seen other peoples listings with my pics!
July 16, 201312 yr Author What do you mean? I am saying on that one he is not really offering you that much of a discount over what you would get it for buying directly from Lego. You'd save tax, too. At retail r2-d2 would cost me 194. Anyway I was just pointing out that he was selling another lego exclusive, more evidence that he might be a lego employee.

If shopping from the US, people should be looking for better deals on eBay. Not sure if this is worth saving $25 plus tax. Additionally, in another few months 10240 will be available at Amazon, Target.com, etc... and then it will go on some sort of sale. With charging $25 for shipping, it better be backed perfectly

I had a guy that I sold a lot to use my auction pictures AND entire listing to turn around and try to sell for a higher price. I didn't care he wanted to make some money, but get off you lazy butt and take your own damn pictures, and your own words. I complained to him and ebay and got it removed, but when he emailed me back it was if nothing he had done was wrong. Moron.

Thats just ridiculous.
