Hi!

Prices are 80% off the original prices I had for the inventory. Some items may
appear to be more expensive because of the value they are on Bricklink. I have
set my prices based on what others have charged for them but not the most expensive!

If you aren't interested, that's up to you but genuine 80% Off the prices
I had in store.

Prices are likely to go to 85% off next weekend, if inventory still available
but getting close to shutting totally down as I don't have the time to run
it anymore.

Not a scam!
Thanks for your question.
Cate

If inventory doesn't sell soon, I will just be closing the store.

Were you selling anything before the sale at that price point? If so i need to
enable shipping to australia, because i normally sell stuff at like 25% of the
price you are selling it for.

Best of luck selling your store, and hopefully selling it will enable you to
retire soon.

Thanks, Noah

Hi! Noah,

I have been having rolling sales over the last 2 months to try and remove stock.
So, some sales have been at 60% of the current inventory price and then some
at 80% and now at 85%.

I had been selling at the prices that they were originally listed. These prices
are based on the prices when you go to add inventory. You know when you check
the colour and see what the sales price in other stores. I have tried to have
a medium to high price BUT in the majority of items prices has NOT been the highest
price there.

Our postage issue in Australia, is everything and I mean everything going overseas
is HUGELY expensive and the amount of paperwork is not really worth the effort
of selling overseas! When I can sell a parcel with 500grams anywhere in Australia
from $9.70 but to say sent to the USA, I am looking at at least $15.00 and that
the cheap end!!! I do try to do a discount if I can!

Thanks for your response, Only just say it! Messages here don't go to the
messages box!
Thanks Cate

Well, I didn’t think about a joke or a scam but I was amazed by the prices.
A C-3PO for €14 (already taken 80% of…) while I can buy a very good one in the
Netherlands on Bricklink for about €2,50.
I could travel to Australia (and maybe even back) for the amount of €’s I would
save on his prices…


Even so, good luck in trying to sell your inventory (with the emphasis on trying
I think).
