pins79 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Are these worth getting during TRU BOGO? Price would be $30 a piece plus tax. What's the upside on these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legopocalypse Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 they seem to be averaging $55-$65 inc. postage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 they seem to be averaging $55-$65 inc. postage Based on this, you should be able to clear $10 or so each, provided you can sell on the higher end. Just thinking: $60 selling price - ~$9 (15% ebay/paypal fees) = $51 Right off the bat that leaves you with only $21 , minus your taxes (not sure where you are) and postage. You get $10 profit if you can account for both of those as being $11. Not sure if you can. $65 would be a more comfortable selling price I`d think, but this set is still going up in value. May be worth picking up to see if it will reach $75-$100 by next Christmas. Dino has only been gone a year, and this is a nice set, it shouldn`t have issues reaching this price point in time. That said, if you manage to get $10 profit each at a $30 + tax buy in, you make about 30% profit now anyway, which is nothing to complain about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I would grab them in a second. Great set. I got a bunch in a TRU sale for $24. I sold too quickly (at 60$) because I was looking to increase my capital. I have a few left and I am keeping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I found some 5888's for RRP. Should I pull the trigger and pick them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I found some 5888's for RRP. Should I pull the trigger and pick them up?I could easily say yes without hesitation but I am compelled to ask if dinosaurs are popular over there too? I love these sets myself.

They became popular once they became scarce. Strange psychological thing but oh so true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Wasn't it a toy's r us exclusive ? If you can have some for MSRP (about 35e ?), it may be ok... 29e => ok 39e => I would pass As for me, I would only take like 2 or 3 sets (yes it's few) because I don't think it's a very seeked after set. (do you remember that I was unable to sell my DINO HQ for months at MSRP ?) Selling them for 49e seems realistic for europe, maybe 59e if you are lucky and not in a hurry. The ROI doesn't seem so cool if you have to wait for 6 month to be able to sell one. Such sets upset me, I feel like they stare at me and laugh, and when I can get rid off, hearing them say "ah ah ah you kept us this long and only made 5 euros ah ah ah". That's why I would say "yes" if you already have other dino sets because you could pair them with another set, it might help them to be sold... until a new dino theme comes.
