See also this thread in market.theory -- (2 URLs) (...) Just a few more days left of this sale event. Normally, I don't waste time going to KBToys even though there is one I pass by regularly. But I stopped two days before the sale began to scope (...) (23 years ago, 13-Oct-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) But the seller isn't buying the bulk bricks from TLG and then directly reselling them. Instead, the seller buys a $10 set that has five less common pieces. Let's say he can sell those pieces for $2 each, then there are a bunch of other, more (...) (23 years ago, 11-Sep-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Sorry, I slightly misread the original (see last sentence I was replying to), but still a slightly different point: what I mean is that a BL's seller's cost-per-brick may well be competitive or better than S@H's *regardless* of non-obvious (...)

Check completed eBay sales for 7130, the Snowspeeder. It goes from $30 to $50. One sold on 9/9 for $80. Wow.
