z_zadar Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 I have huge amount of old grey roads, all MISB packed and sealed, in exellent condition. 6310 T-Road Plates 19 sets (38 roads) 6311 Curved Road Plates 6 sets (12 roads) 6312 Straight Road Plates 14 sets (28 roads) 6313 Cross-Road Plates 22 sets (44 roads) I'm willing to sell it all together, for really great price. Maybe to some club for wonderful old-school diorama, or for some kind of re-sell. Anyway, if there is any interest, please let me know, I'm offering a really fine price. Also, if the lot is too big, I can break it in several smaller, but my wish is not to sold all this piece by piece. Thanks!
jd5775 Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 How much each are you looking for? I would be willing to buy a fair chunk if the price is good.
Modulex Guy Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Please send me a PM as I am interested for a bunch, if not all, the plates.
z_zadar Posted August 19, 2010 Author Posted August 19, 2010 Please note that I didn't defined any price. I can see prices on BrickLink, and those are big, so, I'm willing to go for some fair and cheeper alternative, of course. Please send me an offer by PM for everything or at least the bigger part of it. And other thing is that I'm in Croatia, so postage and money-sending will considerably affect costs. (No pay-pall.) Thanks!
Matthammer Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 I'd be interested in all the straight and curve plates. What would shipping be like for UK? Matt
z_zadar Posted August 20, 2010 Author Posted August 20, 2010 How much? I do not have defined price. Please use PM or gmail me at zelimir.peris to make an offer. I'd be interested in all the straight and curve plates. What would shipping be like for UK? If I can persuade you to buy at least few T-roads and/or cross-roads with straight and curves, I would be willing to pay for the shipping. Anyway, the shipping cost to UK for 2,5 kg (5,5 pounds) is around 20$.

Anyway, the shipping cost to UK for 2,5 kg (5,5 pounds) is around 20$. Would 6 sets of the T-Roads be enough? I can't PM just yet, any chance you could message me a rough valuation. I find offers tend to be drawn out back and forth, where generally a ballpark figure at the start would have been much quicker. Matt
FelixTheCat Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 If Paypal is not an option then how do you propose payment be made? Also, have you got any pictures of the actual items?
z_zadar Posted August 21, 2010 Author Posted August 21, 2010 I cannot set PM to you, Matt. Please email me to: zelimir.peris(a)gmail.com I did not defined price, but I imagine it as going from minimal BL price downwards, depeding on amount of sets you want. IBAN or Wester Union are ways to transfer money. All sets are MISB in a box, so photo of them is not very interesting. I'll show you few I gave to my son for his future LEGO city. City is still in development, so be gentle with critics. Also, his father is more into Castle...
Matthammer Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I just read about you not accepting paypal, so i'll pass on these. All the best Matt
escortmad79 Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Why not set up a Paypal account? Not many people trust Western Union
z_zadar Posted August 22, 2010 Author Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) It's not issue of trust. Paypal acounts open in Croatia don't have possibility of receiving money. It's a state legislation issue, so Paypal is not an option. Anyway, I am willing to take in consideration WU fee and all the shipping costs, and give discount, so potential buyer doesn't have additional costs because of my egzotic whereabouts. So, to shorten the story, whoever buys the whole package will get free shipping (Europe & USA) and free WU fees, and still get a very nice price, considerable lower that BL minimal. If you buy only half, I'll cover half of the shipping and WU fees. Just send your offer at e-mail mentioned above. Thanks. Edited August 22, 2010 by z_zadar

I think people are balking at buying all of these simply because of the price. For example, here are the lowest prices on Bricklink for one of each of the sealed road sets you're selling (these are the lowest prices for new, sealed packs of two, in US dollars): 6310 - $18.50 (times 19 = $351.50) 6311 - $14.00 (times 6 = $84.00) 6312 - $20.31 (times 14 = $284.34) 6313 - $19.00 (times 22 = $418.00) So, just based on the lowest prices on Bricklink, for new, sealed sets of two for each variety, you're looking at $1137.84. That's a lot of money for roads.
solta Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Hi. I'm interested in buying some roads but not all of them. Maybe 5 sets (10 roads). Is that OK with you?

That's a lot of money for roads. I was looking into another way of paying so i could still buy some, as WU is advised against by many reputable organisations. I realise Edmond's estimates are based on sealed sets, but it'd be rather pointless leaving them sealed, so to the buyer the wrapping has no real value. The plates are much cheaper on both BL and eBay individually or in sets without the wrapping. Another reason why posting your own estimate (even a rough one) could make a sale easier/more likely.
z_zadar Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Thank you all for your interest. At this point, I'm not interested in selling less that 10 sets at once, beacuse I'm trying to sell all of it at once, or at least half, or quarter of it, maybe to some club interested in classic city MOC, or to some interested reseller. If this trade doesn't commit (lets say, in a week), than I'll just go on BL with them, so you could buy roads at will (but with regular BL prices). IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is simple and not to expencive way of transfering money to Croatia. I never had problems with WU, but nevertheless, IBAN should be totaly safe. Now, for the price - please contact me at zelimir.peris@gmail.com I'm talking about around 20-25% discount compared to minimal BL price and posibility of free shipping for buyer who takes everything, or similar discount scaled proportional to amount of sets. But... please, details and negotiations on e-mail. As for "plates are much cheaper on BL" theory, I'm sorry, but it's not true. BL links with prices: sets: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=6310-1 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=6311-1 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=6312-1 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=6313-1 parts: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=2359p01&colorID=9 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=2360p01&colorID=9 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=2361p01&colorID=9 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=80547pb01&colorID=9 Maybe you are refering to used roads, but you need to know that MISB (mint in a sealed box) is not only about wrappings, but a guarantee that every road is completely new, without mechanical or UV damage, that used roads regulary have. Remember, those sets are from 1986, storaged in perfect condition, hence the big price on BL. So... jump on this 20-25% discout train, and bring some joy and happyness to your LEGO town.

Zzz Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Could you please provide us with a photo of all the sealed plates together? Would be lovely, thanks a lot, greetings to Croatia!
