Governor Mister Phes Posted October 19, 2008 Author Governor Posted October 19, 2008 I've recently whitness another great bargain - it was an auction for a 6268 Skulls Eye Schooner, 6271 Imperial Flagship and a 6280 Armada Flagship won for $132.50. Normally a Skulls Eye Schooner alone would sell for over $150. So there are many great bargains to be had if you're prepare to look out for them. Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Normally a Skulls Eye Schooner alone would sell for over $150. And the rest! If you are talking AUD, the average I've seen is $200 - $250. Hence the reason I don't own one! Quote
Zorro Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 And the rest! If you are talking AUD, the average I've seen is $200 - $250.Hence the reason I don't own one! I bought my first on for 50 Euros, and my second SES for only 40Euros (55USD), in belgium those are just the standard prices... Too bad you don't live in Belgium Captain Zuloo, I gave you other reasons too so maybe you should consider moving down here after all Quote
Dennimator Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Hi all! I am going to sell my 6279 Skull Island. I would like to sell it here on EB, because then I know for sure it will come to a good home be sold to someone who take care of it. The problem is that I don´t know how much I can sell it for. Its in pretty good shape, but I´ve played with is when I was younger, so some pieces can show a little playwear (for example the skull symbol on the captain hat has faded a little). All the pieces are in good shape, except for the baseplate which has one or two damaged studs (no serious damage, the studs are still "working"). So I would like to know what you would pay for this set (posting doesn´t mean that you have to buy it). Come with a bid, then I´ll (maybe) PM you, that is if I think that the price is high enough. Of course you can decline it then too, just PM m that. EDIT: The only piece that is missing are a pair of yellow epaulettes. I know that 2 white round 2x1 pieces and 1 black 1x8 plate are missing on the pics, but they will be included in the set. Pics (finally) added: Set overview: Minifigures: Original string: Shooting cannon: Here is the damage on the baseplate: The instructions are in pretty good shape: And, just because I this piece, one of the old brown rifles (there are three of them): Thanks!

Captain Green Hair Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 It would totally depend on the buyer i think. From the state it is in as you mentioned, i'd give you 8$. Quote
SWMAN Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 It would totally depend on the buyer i think.From the state it is in as you mentioned, i'd give you 8$. Wow, only 8 bucks. I would pay at least $25. I am not interested, but you should be looking for at least 20-25. Quote
Kliq Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Oh my, from these responses so far, Dennimator, I'd list it on Bricklink. At least there the cheapest is going for $61, and it doesn't sound like yours is in much different condition than theirs. Quote
pr0visorak Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Would you mind showing us a picture of what it looks like now so that we are able to guess the price? :pir-skull: Quote
Dennimator Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Would you mind showing us a picture of what it looks like now so that we are able to guess the price? :pir-skull: Yeah, I´ll post a pic today. I didn´t do it yesterday night because it was getting late. Quote
pr0visorak Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah, I´ll post a pic today. I didn´t do it yesterday night because it was getting late. Great but sorry for asking but where is the pic? :pir-skull: Quote
Dennimator Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Great but sorry for asking but where is the pic? :pir-skull: Um... I have to find the lead that connects my camera to the computer, my sister hamster did hide it because I stole some of her lego er... food. I´ll post the pics as fast as I can! Quote
MillerTime Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) I bought one off ebay a few months ago for about $30 shipped and it was missing a couple pieces. Edited November 18, 2008 by MillerTime Quote

Ryan_T Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 How much is Lego Set #6281, My moms gonna bid on it tomorrow but wants to know how much it is worth before wasting money. Quote
Kliq Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 Depending on where you live, you could get one for about $100 without instructions. A little more for one with the instructions, but you can always print those off. I'd say around $100 as long as it's in good quality. Quote
SWMAN Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 If it is complete with figures, I would say $100. If it doesn't have figures, around $60. If it is just missing a few pieces, around $75-80. Instructions or no instructions is not a big deal because you can print them offline. Still, to some people it is so you should be able to get it a little cheaper if it doesn't have any. Quote
hollisbrick Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 My question is why are you selling this beautiful thing? Quote
Dennimator Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 My question is why are you selling this beautiful thing? Because we need money... My moms company is going low and we need money for the wage of the house. That´s why I´m selling one of my mini V-19 Torrents too, if I should´ve waited, I´m sure that the prize would have risen. I hope this economy crisis ends soon... Quote

Dennimator Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Well good luck with that Do you take ckeques by any chance? Yea, I know, but I´ve already gained $400 by selling ff my Lego, so it´s slowly going upwards. Boy my mom ows me a lot when she gets more money... No, sorry, but if you want it, you can pay through Paypal. Quote
Dennimator Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Hi! In my other topic I got some price answers, and now I have decided that it will cost $27. The cheapest one (in pretty bad condition) on Bricklink is priced $30 and the cheapest one in decent condition was prices $40, so I think this is a pretty good deal. (Linky) As mentioned before, the yellow epaulette is missing and the baseplate is a little damaged on one of the studs, pics in my other topic. Otherwise the set is complete, in good condition and comes with an almost perfect original manual. Edited December 10, 2008 by Dennimator Quote
