Re: Major revision/expansion of my wantlist page —Tom Stangl

Larry, don't take this the wrong way, but... Aren't many of these prices extremely unrealistic? (I would say insanely unrealistic) 6x16 plates for 9 or 15 cents?? They consistenly go for 1-3 DOLLARS on any sale/auction page. If I found someone (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Major revision/expansion of my wantlist page —Larry Pieniazek

(...) Maybe. I'll see what happens and raise stuff as I need to in order to balance supply and demand. One thing to note is that sellers are competing against my own ability to just go out and buy sets and part them out to get the same parts. My (...)

Re: Major revision/expansion of my wantlist page —Erik Olson

(...) What convinced you of that? Did you stop to figure out what set or at what discount? How many good sets steadily show up at 3c average per part??? Surely you're bluffing. Wait for bulk ordering. (24 years ago, 30-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Major revision/expansion of my wantlist page —Ran Talbott

(...) Doesn't matter whether the set is "good": just what parts it has in it. Example: Naboo Swamp, currently on clearance for $5. You sell off the minifigs for $4, and you have ~ 70 pieces left at about 1.5 cents each. Find 8 of those you can sell (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: Major revision/expansion of my wantlist page —Erik Olson

(...) Well, I consider Naboo Swamp is one of those "good" ones because it parts out so easily, whereas Speeder Bikes doesn't (lack of plates and bricks.)

Re: Major revision/expansion of my wantlist page —Torsten Fresemann

(...) Is that a good price Down Under? Seems awfully expensive to me. Here in Germany they cost between 15 and 18 marks, which is around AU$ 12.50 and 15 respectively. Is this cheaper than in the States or similar? Regards, Torsten (24 years ago, 31-Jul-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
