So, you have Mr. Gold and you are worried about the Series 1 Nurse?
Mr. Gold doesn't exist...
Just kidding. I bought a custom one so I "have one". I know it's not real, but it's good enough for me to display. Only time I've gone to the dark side like that.

You can also "have" nurses quite cheap if you go to the dark side ...

In fact, if you buy any older CMF you should always inspect all the parts to check they are real.

I know, was hard for me too, but that's the only time I'm going to do it.

I've seen the fake CMF's before, but not going to do it. Only reason I could justify Mr. Gold was because it was official Lego parts that were chromed and printed on. Series 1 figs are overly expensive and I'd rather focus on current stuff than dump all my Lego money into getting them, but I will get them all eventually by buying one whenever I see a good deal.

Mr. Gold... No way I'm dumping $5000...

I have been selling a few polybags on eBay that I don't want, one buyer has bought three different lots but each has gone to a separate address, buyer has requested:

Note to seller
Hi please sends the Lego out ASAP and please makes sure they are no invoice or price in the package. Thanks

Do I assume the buyer is 'selling' these and using me as an intermediary? They only going for £3.00-£3.50 so nothing rare. Can't be making much off it? It sort of annoys me if this is the case but could it be something else? Should I just cancel the third one (I sent two last week)? Block the buyer?

LuLego · February 2018

Be careful with that...
If you agree to send to an address different to the one on the invoice, PayPal and eBay can’t protect you.

I know it’s only a small amount but you’d lose if he says it didn’t arrive.

leego76 · February 2018

Thanks @LuLego they go to the address given direct from the eBay page so I'm not being asked to ship to an 'unofficial' address?

sid3windr · February 2018

Dropshipping is either for selling or giving gifts... :-)

leego76 · February 2018

Well let's assume it's not gifts! How are they selling and through what site? Can I find them? Nothing of the same last item has sold on eBay since so not eBay? Not really familiar with dropshopping so now having a read through online..

samiam391 · March 2018

I thought we needed to appreciate this buyer's strategy to get some free LEGO:

I offered him my modulars, but we'll see if he bites. Fingers crossed!

redarmy · March 2018

^ He had me right up until Legos..

Pitfall69 · March 2018

I will offer up my Bionicles, Jack Stone and Galidor. I will throw in my Belville just because.

LuLego · March 2018

Unfortunately I’m U.K. based and so postage might be an issue.
Unless I offer to pay the postage for him too...

Psst... I'll take the Galidor...

CCC · March 2018

That sounds like a good way to get rid of all those megabloks, broken hot wheels, unidentified plastic toys, dead batteries, and cat poop.

mh3490 · March 2018

Has anyone seen the astronomical prices people are asking for the sdcc black panther / Dr strange

... and this one's a deal free shipping

The_Rancor · March 2018

^ That 99 cents at the end makes all the difference. Maybe the seller just likes the number 9?

Now i'm confused, does it come with instructions or not ?????

SumoLego · May 2018

That is clearly a promotional brochure detailing the features and options of that model of LEGO garbage truck.

(Or - maybe the truck is complete, and it's a reverse-psychology eBay listing.)

Baby_Yoda · May 2018

They took a photo with the instructions, but it's not for sale. Just there to really drive home the point that you won't be getting that.

Toc13 · May 2018

I was trying to count how many times LEGO appeared on the page whilst being displayed on a Duo Le Pin plate- many more from the same seller

SumoLego · June 2018

Another lesson in: Why one should not ever believe the prices on eBay other than recent sales...

Pitfall69 · June 2018

^Why are you trying to rain on my parade? I was hoping to retire early with all my misprinted minifigures and plumes.

SumoLego · June 2018

Because you stole my tennis racquet and turned it into a replacement Meow-Meow.

Pitfall69 · June 2018

SumoLego said:

Well, I was was swinging it around and accidentally hit a window and put a small crack in it.

Now, I just call it "Mace Window"

SumoLego · June 2018

I totally missed that you wrote 'plumes'. You can retire on the MLP plumes. LEGO plumes is the funny money.

Anyway, what do you call a shirt that's been hit by lightning? A Shock Tee.

CCC · June 2018

If misprints are rare and valuable, the bricklink seller with these must be a millionaire ...

Image: http://img.bricklink.com/myImg/298821.jpg

They are really rare, he only has 842 of them.

Image: http://img.bricklink.com/myImg/222830.jpg

200 of these, and so on ...

SumoLego · June 2018

Parallel import! Atleast it has free shipping.

I'm pretending I didn't see that.

^The meme? Shouldn't any thread that is ridiculous, contain ridiculous memes???

SumoLego · June 2018

No.

Ridiculous is serious business.

SumoLego · June 2018

For those interested... @kwkw has a no-box sealed version for $97209.99 less dollars...

And no free shipping? For real!

Baby_Yoda · June 2018

^ I saw a similar listing once for #21118. Before it was retired.

BrickByBrick · June 2018

@SumoLego So @kwkw will give you $87210 to take one from him?

I think your math might be a little off.....

(It's such a good deal, I figure a commission would be in order. $9729.99 - for those with math, and less fat fingers.)

^ Reproduced here for everyone's convenience...

I wonder if the defecating function is what drives the price up...

A good price for 75 pounds and 30 sets. Too bad he can't be troubled to retake the minifigure pictures.

Is that a complete mistake or for real? And if so do people actually buy this stuff?

MAGNINOMINISUMBRA · June 2018

I'm pretty sure the username is what they shout when someone hits the buy it now button..,

CCC · June 2018

30 sets, at $40K, so over $1000 a set. For unknown sets and "several" not to be remembered super heroes.

That is a "I don't really want to sell it" price.

MAGNINOMINISUMBRA · June 2018

What arr you talking about? That price is a bloody steal! It's nowhere NEAR the price per ounce gold price!

EvilTwin · June 2018

What do people think about this one, I wonder?
