    Point 1 - don’t buy retired Lego.
    Point 5 - don’t buy Lego before it’s retired.

    Like other forms of "investing," it's extremely difficult to pick winners; and if a set is 50% off, it's likely because it sucks the big one. Fortunately, there are still millions of people who just buy Lego because they like Lego, and are not trying to get-rich-quick selling to other Star Wars fanatics.

      Scalping assumes the buyers denied you access to the thing you want.
      In this case they bought it before it was discontinued and sell it back to you if have remorse.
      Not really like the ps5 stuff or people who buy shoes .5 seconds after they launch.

    • @brick4brick
      @brick4brick Год назад +6

      I’d disagree because “scalpers” usually refers to drops that are bought up immediately by bots then resold at a way higher price, but I’d say everyone has an equal opportunity to pick up Lego sets at tons of different stores, it’s just keeping them mint for a few years so they appreciate in value
