David, The difference is that the seller in your example has decided the price he wants to offer for it, as opposed to someone making a lowball offer. I don't think that what the buyer did is unethical. Cheeky perhaps, but if the seller had shown more patience he'd have found out how much more he could have made from his auction. But thats life. And I can't with any honesty say that had the buy now gone up while I was watching, that I wouldn't have snapped them up either.

Yeah...I realised I should have done that 30 secs after I saw it had gone....:(

I know - the seller posted it at about 8-30pm last night with a $1 no reserve. I put it on my watchlist and went to do something else. By the time i came back - all over And yes, the seller was either desperate, or had no idea of the value of what they had.

A big shout out to all the guys and girls who have put on the LEGO show this weekend in Auckland. Fantastic as always and I could have easily spent twice as long there as I did spotting all the amazing things done with little plastic bricks. Looking forwards to next year already....:)

Is anyone else who took their kids to see the LEGO movie sick of hearing "Everything is awesome" yet? or is it just my ones who sing it incessantly?

Because we in NZ are so far behind everyone else when it comes to LEGO releases, many shops here still have the FB on the shelves. $NZ 299-00 ($US 259, 185 Euro) at most places. Toyco.co.nz and Toyplanet.co.nz have online shops, and may be willing to ship overseas.

So, did anyone do well on the LEGO front this Xmas or in the boxing day sales? And what has happened to the Kiwibricks website?

The last time the Warehouse had a big online lego sale, they advertised the Joust set, but you couldn't actually buy it from the website at the price they had it at. Given that the Warehouse has history with the Commerce commission for advertisting products at special discount prices, that are then unable to be purchased, I now take all the online "bargains" from the warehouse with a very large grain of salt.

<raises hand> - Toyworld Albany was also doing good business in that regard....

I beleive I saw it at Toyworld Albany, but not 100% sure

Thanks for that - the Yellow car instructions belong to set 4939 -1 creator set. There was most of the car in the 2.1kgs, but in the end I couldn't be bothered seperating it out (lots of little pieces). I might do just that before I re-list, see if it can be sold as an additional set. I noticed at least one other bulk lot failed to sell, maybe it was just the trademe gods in action, or else I listed the auction to close the day before everyone's payday...lol Cheers Nick

Hi guys, I've just run an auction for some LEGO on trademe, and it closed with no bids. Before I go ahead with some other options, would some of you like to take a look at it and see if there is anything glaring that made it not sell. Any feedback appreciated, as I'm unsure what went wrong. I didn't think it was unreasonably priced, compared to other auctions out there, but the market obviously didn't agree. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=605964495 Cheers Nick

Has anyone been able to get one of these into their cart and out the checkout? Updated 2-26pm : now completely gone from the warehouse website.....:(
