Yeaz... those prices. Here in Europe we are really really happy if we can get 25 euro.

Enjoy and exploid while it lasts people. 

another one at $84, in less than 5

A good day of Amazon sales for me - prices include shipping (FBM):

(2 x ) 75919 I-R @ $207

70173  U.A. Ocean HQ $149

75048 The Phantom $40

ditto, on the first two, however at about $10 more each. you might wanna inch up your prices, they will bite.

Insanity

They're blowin' up...

Sold a dinged up NIB 21010 Robie House for $390 shipped on EBay. Ebay fee was the $10 promo.

JW 75920 RE for 85 euro cash.

Corporate Alliance Tank Droid and Endor Battle Pack to one guy for $60 CDN on craigslist. The tank was priced at 3 times what I paid for it and it sold for exactly the reason I figured this would be a winner - dude said he was getting it for his little brother who really wanted a Jango figure while having 5 Boba Fetts. Attack of the Clones indeed.

Finally got rid of my 9398 Crawler for 211€ excl. shipping. One of the more disappointing investments. 6 months of blocked funds (and attic :/) for meager 25€ profit after fees...

Ebay or Marktplaats?

French ebay. So smallest fees there are for ebay (7.5% I think), but you sell your item with one free photo

I fail to see the problem when you made a 15% profit in 6 months and it wasn't a small time item.

Well the problem is that it wasn't a small time item. If it was Witch King Battle, 15% would be quite ok, here I was kinda hoping for something more substantial for such a cool set...

Oh my god... you had to keep that set for 6 months... that is half a year! And it wasted space...hmm. Are you sure you already learned enough about selling technic? What did you expect? Tripling price after a year?

Wait for, let's say at least 2 years after the EOL of technic sets. It works well for me! Hoping for big gains half a year later, hmm, perhaps the wrong line for you...

Yes, now I believe I learned something about the selling potential the Technic might have. The dwindling one

I thought this one would hitchhike on 41999 ride as the crawler for the masses. Wrong call. Now, don't get me wrong guys, I realize it's not that bad and no, I didn't expect 300% ROI, but a zero less would be sort of nice. If it was consistently selling for 240€ in this time of year, I'd probably keep it and not sell at all. It's just the simple fact that when investment is not performing to your standards & expectations (provided they are realistic ofc), get out ASAP, your money is better spent elsewhere. Gingerbread Houses for example Takes way less space along the way

Do not blame the set. I have a good number myself. It is just selling slowly and there are too many listings. Let this be a lesson for future Technic investments.
