There has been a lot of questions lately,"I'm looking at X set for X dollars, should I buy it?" Let me preface this by saying, I'm dumb and use to be dumber (I've been a member and buying & selling since Jan 13) I can see both sides. Guys want advise and others think you should put in more research. Most members are helpful and patient to a point. Jim Cramer says, you can make money investing in company stocks if your willing to devote the time and research. If not buy a mutual fund. There is no such thing as a Professional Lego investment advisor ( some guys may be close). Read this site, watch EBay, visit all the stores, and you can answer yours and other peoples questions in time. After a year I still make bad decisions, just less of them. Thoughts?

That all depends on how much you want to build that set.  As far as an investment...(only my opinion here) your money is better spent elsewhere.

 

There has been some ridiculous sales (amazob BOGO, Target BOGO) recently.  Take advantage of them.  My impression of Emazers is that his philosophy is more strict than mine.

 

Seems he only really "invests" in exclusives or 10xxx sets.  No problem with that at all.  There is certainly some seriously money in those sets.

 

Others prefer the chase in finding sales.  I am mix between the two have a well rounded portfolio of x-large sets (10211), large ~1000 piece sets and medium 400-800 piece sets.  Sure I have some smaller sets but those also require a lot more work to clear the same amount of money a large set can generate.

 

In time you will find your niche in this bizarro plastic world.
