Anyone seen what new sellers are forced to do on eBay now?  My daughter sold an expensive set for me, and before they will even give you a funds availabilty date , you must post and track the item.  Just done that and PayPal tells me the funds will be available IN THREE WEEKS! What the hell?

What a load of garbage on PayPal's part. I can understand waiting for the tracking number to be uploaded and being received by Auspost. But three weeks what a load of crap.

It´s always been like that. Anti fraud measure to stop people scamming and running away with the profits. Fully suppport it.

Didn't know that. I've had my account for ten years , so never had to do this before.

Three weeks seems excessive though. That gives the buyer time to receive it, build it , change their mind and post it back to me for free.

Myer online has BB8 back for $107 delivered. Few other not bad prices too , but remember to use the ANNIVERSARY code that suits.

Myer seems to be the easiest place to buy modular buildings on sale... any other suggestions

TRU had a flash clearance sale last night on a few retiring sets. Managed to grab 2x Rebel Combat Frigates for $118 ea shipped! Anyone get anything exciting?

Nice job. Did see it but didn't buy. Pity it didn't line up with the batman figs but I guess that was never going to happen.

 

 

Nice one - nothing tickled my fancy.

Did score the following of eBay:

LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (75030) - UNOPENED

LEGO Chima Fire vs Ice (70156) - UNOPENED

LEGO Ramses Return (3855) - THIS HAS BEEN OPENED BUT INCLUDES ALL PIECES OF THE GAME

For the princely sum of $34 posted.

If the MF's condition matches the photos, will be tempted to list the next time there is an eBay discounted FVF offer.

Love that little MF.

Another oddball item I picked up this morning from a local FB group for $150.

I could have sworn I saw that in a group yesterday! Do you hang onto those personally? I just wonder what kind of a market there is for that type of thing

Could be, it was listed on Sunday, and this is his picture.

I'll be hanging onto this for awhile. It makes a good display.

I occasionally see eBay listings for different themed displays for between $160 and $650.

Nice find, for your own personal collection? Don't think you will get much more dough if you are reselling it on but nice to keep one if there is space at home.[emoji4]

Yep we being going into the collection. Just have to get it past the better half.

Keep an eye out at Big W for:

60103 Airport Air Show, and

60140 Bulldozer Break-In

If you can find them both have been reduced to $49 each.

LEGO Darth Vader clocks are $25 too. Seen in three different stores.

Hey peoples, just checked Target AU website, NASA rockets available as of Thursday morning. Doesn't seem to be any buy limits, free shipping and normal RRP.

Good find. The flood was bound to reach us eventually.

65 left as of right now.

......and gone.

he who hesitates ..............

So did I. Where there many on the shelf?  A pity it doesn't have any special figs
