I remember paying £5 for a pack of fish fingers which were only £1.50 back home. Of course, you may also have to pay duty and VAT on top. What price were those sets in AED? eBay UK is the place to buy as prices are still not too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shewie Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 289AED for Wall-E and respectively 399 for Maze. Huge chunk of sets were already discounted for some time. Tydiriums, Sandcrawlers, Ewoks ale piled up with significant amount of dust on the boxes. Well everything based on magic, force etc is Haram in these countries maybe that's why it's not that popular among locals as we would hope to. That's why Harry Potter Movie distributed in GCC countries was only 50min long. I'll try to snag Wall-e only If I'll find some extra space in my luggage coming back from holidays which is highly unlikely because of my other half planning to hoard tons of souvenirs for F&F.

OK prices for Americans but probably not worth it once you convert back into GBP or Euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeiaOrgana Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Lately I've seen quite a few ebay listings that should be reported. Maybe we should have a dedicated thread where people can share when they come across them. We can all help by reporting them. I don't like that we need to turn into ebay police but these deceiving listings are hurting all the honest sellers & buyers of Lego. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number available on uk eBay is down to 40ish and more than half of them are still priced below £100. It would need really strong demand and savvy resellers to get to 100 this christmas.

As predicted this is going nowhere near 100 this xmas. It was climbing but the xmas undercut has started. Despite them selling at £75+ all day long someone was selling them for 50 at one point and we're in the low 60's on Ebay now and we're up to 66 listings. I can imagine this happening with a lot of sets as people try to clear their stocks in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Sold half of my inventory for ave £75. Happy to hold the rest until this gaps up to £100.

This is why I never list items in December as the competition is too fierce unless you have something extremely rare. Not to mention post office queues around the block!

Val-E Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Factor in the 20% commission and taxes that Amazon professional sellers pay compared to part-time bricklinkers and you have the difference in price. Also remember that FBA have to swallow transport costs whereas Bricklinkers can charge what they like and even offset a low selling price.

The good thing for FBAers is that Amazon is chock full of customers who don´t know what discerning means, much less spell it. 1-click buy box trigger happy customers.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
