jomandybri Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Have other people noticed a bump in sales post-Easter? I've moved 4 sets in as many days (I only have a handful of listings), where I'd be lucky to do that in 2-3 weeks typically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisbiggles Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Star Wars Encounter on Jakku 75148 is discounted to $55 at Big W. My local has had at least 20 on the shelves all week - doesn't seem like much love for this set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisbiggles Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Well still no noticeable movement in the number of Encounter on Jakku 75148 sets available at my local Big W. I see it has disappeared from the Big W website, will have to watch out in store to see what the next discounted price will be.

Yeh , local shop sales have been a little grim. Prices are reasonable, it's just the selection is a bit stale. Regular eBay 15% deals been ok though. Been buying the harder to find sets at pretty good discount, as the eBay codes work on worldwide purchases. Biggest gamble is, will my set survive a month in the mail? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah apart from that the new LEGO Sets are getting more and more expensive e.g new Death Star is $800 which is a bit ridiculous I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisbiggles Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 The increased eBay selling fee (now 11%) has kicked in. Pretty p$%s weak charging us GST on selling fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
