10% eBay, 2 or 3% pay pal.......he meant you will loose money if you don't wait for the value to go up.

Not sure I'm following emazers comment, but I do not think you will lose money selling it right now if you decided to do so. Used Flagships in good condition fetch $250+ no problem.

Let me again add, you won't really make much either.

Quick Example I just sold a lego set on Ebay, The Price was $229.99 The Paypal fee was $6.97 the Ebay Final Value Fee was $16.30, and a few more Dollars to List it. I always Put it in the Gallery, Bold Letters, check UK, and always list it during the week and have the Auction end around 9-11 pm eastern time. Ed

He is saying to hold on to it for a while and sell it later when it has appreciated more........

Gotcha, yeah I wasn't sure how to interpret what he was saying haha. Thank you for clearing that up again ;)

Not sure if its worth picking up but i can get a black pearl for $130. brickpicker shows value at $200. Will this still go up? 

I just paid $122 shipped for one used for my personal collection. I'd say a NIB 4184 is a steal of a deal!

Is it new? Either way that isn't a bad price. It will only continue to go up from where it is at now.

yes it is new =) how high do you think this can still go?

To infinity and beyond.

I don't think $300 is at all unreasonable for this set.  I know a lot of the big timers here would agree with me.

I would also say $300

i just sold one on ebay for 254$. however the buyer has yet to pay so...

Even at $200 there is money to be made and they sell really well.

I'll pay 300 for this. I think it's going to be worth 2,000 by next year.

I agree with $300 soon.

I traded a ghost train, and VC for a black pearl nisb. Of course the 2 sets I traded I bought on clearance:-)

I sold a used one for $165 a few weeks ago. It's a great build and will keep going up imho. It retired right before the big surge of investors came in. 

I have a hard time thinking this set will go much higher than $275/$300 - (in the near future) BECAUSE of the existence of the QAR. 

good to know I can still make some money of this.. thanks guys

Obviously it is a good price   just be sure it is 100% sealed.   new 4184s sell between $210 - $280.  i think it might start slowing down around $325  You still have the QAR and Imperial Flagship out there as "competition".  Additionally, there is a new ship coming out for Lego the Movie.  If the latter ship is another 2-1 Creator-like set, there's another ship for buyers to consider.

 

I just built a used 4184 last week w/ my son and owned the Imperial Flagship (awesome ship).  The Black Pearl is still more "toy-like" while other ships are more like models.  I have not cracked open one of my QAR sets yet.

 

 

note: it wouldn't surprise me if Lego and Disney do a smaller license for the next PotC movie that included a Black Pearl refresh. Their relationship is growing and Lego AFOLs / KFOLs love pirate ships. I know the last movie wasn't "great" and sets were usually in the clearance aisles. However, there's always a chance...

I can see the ceiling for it being as high as $300-$350 or so in a couple more years. If we don`t see another pirate theme for longer, it could be even more. At that price, buy, no questions needed to be asked. You`ve made a solid return already, and it`s only going to keep going up.

Seems you may have nailed this one @rtisan. Seems the most recent final ebay sales on this are right around that 300-350 range, just a little earlier than many expected. What is everyone's thoughts on this set now?  I picked one up off Bricklink (best deal I could find in Canada) but I had to have one to keep mint.

Haha, it`s happens once and a while, though admittedly not as often as I`de like haha. If it`s hit that high already, I`d say it will go up a bit more then settle. It`s already a great return, 300%, awesome!

I think the 2015 pirate theme will help the 2011 PotC ships to gaine some value, because it will wake people's interest in pirate ships.

It also seems that there will just be 1 pirate ship in 2015, so kids and AFOLs will want some more... (even more if its design is quite disappointing)
