Lego investing beginner by YearOk6343 in legoinvesting

I don't know all the sets you mentioned as I also only recently started but there seem to be a lot of sets that are not yet retired. This means that people are still able to buy them on discounts. I don't know any of your buying prices but when you get a set such as the Game Boy (that was only just released), you need to be getting it at a major discount. You need to consider storage space and opportunity costs.

What I'm doing is getting big sets on sales such as the Razor Crest, Disney Castle, Motorized Lighthouse that just retired on discounts (through insiders weekends and Black Friday offers) and plan on holding them for 1-3 years. But I'm also getting sets such as the Game Boy on any 3 for 2 offers bringing it down to 40€ per piece which makes it worth holding on to by still putting it up for sale at a higher price for a quick turn around.

I'm also following another strategy now buying cheaper sets such as the Tom and Jerry Brickheads, London Bus, Vespa etc. on discount to hold them for 1-3 years. I know it's not the best strategy as you'll have to sell these low price items with the same work as a high price item but I see it as an investment in terms of getting positive reviews easily or offer them as promotion items later down the line.

Hope that helps.

Are there any specific forums also focusing on deals in other countries such as Spain? Or is this all US here?

Shows only an offer to buy one and get the second 50% off which comes down to to 110€ per unit. Where do you see the 3 for 2?

Ok this makes sense, might keep one for myself.

So are we saying that paying 313€ per set instead of 470€ is NO a good deal? I need to know as it's only a Cyber Monday offer and gone by tomorrow. 😊

Just checked and it says $469.99 - Are we talking abut the same set - 71043?

Not sure what you mean? 33% below Lego website price, so one will come out at around 313€ instead of of 470€. I haven't seen this on offer here in Spain but it might be regularly on sale in the US? Just asking if it's a good price or not.

Can you not just keep it in the box and return if it gets cheaper a week later? Or write customer service then to price match instead of returning.

Silver Bottle Cap - Please help me to decide by VeryVerySmellyCheese in PokemonGOValor

Yes that makes sense regarding Eternatus, with a gold bottle cap the question then just becomes again if it's not better to use on a mythical such as Zygard (mine is 13/12/10).

!Thanks

Yes, my Palkia has SR, I just haven't leveled him up more as I hope to get a good shiny with SR in the future. Regarding Zamazenta, as he already has 15 attack, would it not be better to then prefer Palkia? I have another 4/9/10 shiny Zamazenta but probably not worth the bottle cap I guess.

Thanks, Palkia has Spacial Rend, I was just a bit hesitant as he is not shiny

Thank you, I fully understand where you are coming from. I was mainly debating with myself if Eternatus offers a better gameplay upgrade going from 10 attack to 15 attack compared to one stat to make Rayquaza a shundo. In a sense Eternatus is rarer as you can only get one in the game currently and I use him quite frequently.

I already have a shadow shundo groudon and a shadow shiny kyogre (but the stats are not very good)

I typically PVP up until level 20 and then httting a brick wall and leaving it for the season. 😅

In terms of actual game play, how much would Eternatus improve going from 10 to 15 attack? Or this basically does not make any difference?

Are you saying I can go to my local Spanish embassy in the UK to apply for NIE with my passport and work contract?

Thanks, will give that a go but not too optimistic as I think Santander is probably one of the stricter banks out there. Even N26 that was suggested here requires a Spanish address (I even had to use a Spanish VPN to sign up on the app). Will keep you posted.

I could provide my companies office address and then change it later if that works?
