Yesterday, these two storage cases were advertised on craigslist for $30 each and “someone was coming tonight to buy them.” Today they are $125 each. That rate of inflation is so high my calculator had to use scientific notation to display it.
Clearly, you should’ve jumped on that deal before the seller did a Google search to see what they’re going for these days.
Looks like last March was the time to buy these (at $50 each on Amazon). Now, not so much…
However, you can still get basically the same thing (sans baseplate and LEGO logo) for $65. And thanks to the LUGBULK thread, we all know that a green 32 baseplate is not worth $60.

I don’t think this guy understands basic economics… if it doesn’t sell at $125, you don’t raise the price…
@randomdan monorail track?
well, it seemed like a good deal, if you assume $15 for each chunk of track … then I saw the shipping
Does Dan Brown already have one of these in his Bellaire Museum?
@dacvak or anyone with money to spend or going to Florida any time soon. This should be a pretty good deal:

If you ever wanted to jump start a bricklink store or a collection, this would be a good way.

If you can’t drive to Orlando, maybe you can drive to Youngstown!
This person does not sound like a collector and if someone is willing to do the research, it would be plausible to make an offer which is a lot lower.
Yeesh. Yea, I’d say there might be a bargain to be had, if one put in the time to research and negotiate… but that someone is not me.
Hold me back!
I bet @lunch36 won’t hold you back once he sees what’s in it… / taunt.
All Matt’s post-1995 sets just became mine.
Your concepts of ownership are… uncommon…
Further proof everyone but me owns that stupid thing. On a side note, the new Pirate Ship is pretty awesome. I was pleasantly surprised by the size. My son absolutely loves it.
Walmart online has lego creative building box (10695) for $20. That’s 580 pieces. They ship free if your order is over $50.

It looks like that was too good to last. How did you find out about it?
I spotted this piece of artwork on Amazon, (looking for the Easter set that I failed to but before the SOLD OUT.) Unfortunately, not one of these guys has the multicolor astronaut printed on his torso. Rats.
I have the Walmart, Amazon, and target iPhone apps. I regularly search for deals since I’m trying to build up my brick collection (just came out of dark ages in October 2014). Lego shop at home had it listed for $40, so I knew this was a good deal. Too bad it sold out.

Forgot to mention I also read brickset’s shopping guide, lego s@h sales, brickpicker, slickdeals, Craigslist, eurobricks, etc etc. I happened to have found this deal on my own though. 🙂
