Is it just me or are the lego auctions cooling off a little? I just bought Sphynx Secret Surprise for $24.99 and Mummy's Tomb for $14.00 from yahoo auctions. I felt that these were pretty good prices and I was the only bidder on both items. Am I (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

Howie, There seems to be an excess supply of discounted Adventurers sets at the moment. Auctions are still cranking out outrageous prices. Your fortune is a combination of using a less popular auction forum and the current supply of Adventurers (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

I too just got those Items at very low prices, I think that because you can hit most stores right now and pick the Egyptian sets on clearance, people are just getting them there instead of online. Wal-mart has the Big set, the Pahroahs Forbidden (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) I'm sure it won't offer us all of the pieces in some large sets, and it sure as heck won't offer people overseas anything for a long while yet. I always accept foreign bids and my auctions, with only one exception, always have more than one (...) (24 years ago, 21-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Both of those (and other Adventurers) sets have been sold at fairly good clearance prices lately both online and at b&m stores. I paid $14 for most of my 5958's but got some for $10. Never noticed the other set on deep clearance, but with a (...) (24 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

Sphynx' Secret Surprise was available on Walmart.com for $14 and later $9. I was able to pick up a few at that price myself. Lindsay Braun sold me a couple of Mummy's Tomb sets for $14 that he found during one of his many clearance sale finds, so (...) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-00, to lugnet.adventurers)
