S.I Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) E: ^^^ 67 for a 42009? Damn I would have gotten a second one for myself at that price. Grabbed a big box of technic parts of ebay for around 100 euros, almost all of it studless era. It turned out all the power functions, pneumatic, linear actuators, and wheels (wtf) were removed from the box before selling, however it did include sprockets (without links...), 4 pneumatic brackets, and at least 1 of the really rare linear actuator holders. So quite a weird selection of parts but still a good deal considering the amount of pieces in total, since it had 10 clutch gears, 15 frames, all the panels from the unimog and one or two other sets, etc. Edited October 15, 2014 by S.I Quote
CisFran Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Got this Volvo for EUR 128.00 from a local supermarket Quote
N-4K0 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 128 Euro for the loader is a really good price. Quote
Freekysch Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 That is a VERY good price for a sealed set. Enjoy the build Quote
PhyBuilder Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 They don't use € in Switserland, so a) you converted it from CHF into a more known currency or b) you bought it in Germany/Austria. In the latter case, I need to know where . Quote

I've had a couple of interesting gum tree lots that I picked up recently 1st lot was a big lot of city/Mars/star wars but I saw some technic in there. It contained a complete 8674 ferarri F1 and a 99% complete 10178 motorized AT-AT walker. I just finished selling off all of the random stuff so those 2 ended up in my collection for $0 (I actully ended up about $200 in front) 2nd lot was I big bunch of technic sets bagged up very roughly, about 30 in all. I kept about half and sold on the rest to recoup my $$$ but the bargain is what was thrown on top of the box because they couldn't be bothered listing it, a 8880 (99% complete) a 10177 Boeing 787 (90% complete) and 6211 imperial star destroyer (99% complete) for free..........!! :-D Edited October 24, 2014 by OzBen Quote
Freekysch Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Very nice hauls you got there guys, you must feel very lucky Quote
dmitryq Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Hi folks, I need your advice. On one of the local web-markets I have come across this offer: Price for the entire collection is ~75$. I have calculated the sum I'd have to pay if those were new and it makes around 290-300$, but are these sets worth buying? Edited October 24, 2014 by dmitryq Quote
valenciaeric Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 75 usd sounds alright and will give you a good strting point for the 600 part MOC competition. Just got a 42029 new for 50 € Quote
valenciaeric Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 42025 MISB for 54 euros. Been a good weekend! Quote
valenciaeric Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Carrefour 40% off promo plus 5 euro coupon! Quote
PROlego Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Okay, bad luck I can't go to Valencia (if you bought it there) or I'll pick two Quote
TinkerBrick Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Mindstorms ev3 for 248€, picked one up at Metro wholesaler in Germany yesterday. Quote
Appie Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 For the dutchies here (and perhaps other regions as well). I stole this information from a topic on lowlug (http://www.lowlug.nl...=9309&start=160): 20% discount at Toys'r'us, but also 10% discount on anything with a value above 50 euro. Effectively 28% discount on their prices. To name a few: 42025 is now 76 euro 42029 is now 63 euro 42030 is now 150 euro Doesn't work on all Technic sets, but it does for most. I couldn't resist a 42025 for 76 euro and a second wheel loader for 150 Quote
captainmib Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Dude, thank you so much for this. 42030 for € 150 is an awesome price. Now, to persuade the wife... Quote
Appie Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 You're welcome Credit goes to Legorsk on Lowlug though. I just wanted to share it here so others could enjoy it too. 150 euro for the Loader is really awesome yea Quote
captainmib Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 And... ordered! When it hit the stores € 160 was the price I was aiming for. So 150 is a nice price i think. Especially with all the PF parts. Quote
Kumbbl Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 Hi folks, I need your advice. On one of the local web-markets I have come across this offer: Price for the entire collection is ~75$. I have calculated the sum I'd have to pay if those were new and it makes around 290-300$, but are these sets worth buying? at least the Buggy (front/middle), the orange quad and the green snowmobile are very good models... overall i would say, 75$ is ok - i would not pay more and it is not a real bargain but it is a fair price...
