Alright Grolim, the site update is hours old, time to update the contest results

I can't check at work, but I wonder if anyone picked the Zoo or VH?

You're keen!

I am too actually.  Just woke up (it's 8:30am Saturday here) to the new update.  I'll run an update today and should hopefully be able to post an update to the contest later on.

 

No one has a Zoo.  Lego pizza has 3 x VH and Stephen_Rockefeller has 10.

Damn, you're on the ball. I was joking (sort of), enjoy your Saturday and don't feel the need to rush on my account;)

As long as the stats are updated eventually I am happy.

VH can't mean vampyre hearse....whats it's stand for?

Van Halen! sorry....dating myself a little.

I was assuming VH was Vampyre Hearse, though Van Halen would be better

 

Just waiting on a few set data minor issues to be ironed out.  but I can tell you from my first run of the data that those with 6866 Wolverine Chopper have done well.  IAmElim has his whole portfolio on them so will top the list.

 

After the selling and handling fees are taken into account, there are only 6 out of 84 entries that have so far managed to make a positive return above the initial $1k capital.  Early days though, still 4 months to go.

 

I'll post a full league table and various stats later on tonight or tomorrow.

Mkay, results are in!

 

 

I'll crunch some numbers and post up a few more stats in the next day or 3

Hey, I moved up the list from 66 to 45 now!

I moved from 24^th place to 16^th. I'm happy.

Feeling pretty good about crackin' the top ten! Thank you Grolim for all of your work on this. Pretty fun little experiment.

The 6866 Wolverine Chopper had a relatively low value at the moment of chosing my portfolio. I was selling them at 50$ while the value was 35,65$. It was only a matter of time before the real value would be transfered to the BP value.

Great work Grolim! I'm almost last. lol

so only 6 people have actually made money....LOL!

I just need more time to make some serious money.

When you account for fees. Shows all the people who talk about flipping for few dollars what happens. lol.

I am still rooting for mikemcd to win it all.  Just hold your money and do not buy LEGO  He should get 0.8% monthly interest assuming he put it all in a savings account

He's probably right.  I think everyone should start doing this.  Immediately.

My entry ain't far above yours

As DNIIM said, after fees.  The "Portfolio Value" is supposed to represent the cash value realised if the holdings were sold, so the selling and handling fee is taken out.

Maybe.  He's a cautious fellow and decided to put the cash under his mattress, doesn't trust dem bank neither!

 

 

Looking forward to seeing what the March price update does to the standings once available.

If cash wins, I have some soul searching to do.

With that kind of confidence I hope you invested a lot of real money into Desert Skiff's as well

13th.  The thing is I actually have those sets and playing it for real.  I hope nobody has CITY crap as they will come 84th!
