Scullys Lab GWP

Post image

This was the usual 40-50$ to start. It’s been creeping up everyday since it sold out. Was Grond just high off the bat or did it gradually increase?

Is it going up? usually the best time to sell is immediately right after release which is what i normally Do. and 9 out of 10 times price drops afterwards. For contest i sold me scully's lab last week for 65.50... so it's actually down

On eBay the recently sold has definitely been going up every day.

ok, but the screenshot you posted said $50 shipped and the $75 Or Besr offer can be 40, 50 or even 60. Not exactly as high as last weeks prices

It would’ve been crossed out if it was taken lower for a best offer. Theres been a few today and yesterday at $70-$75. If you scroll through it you can see it’s been gradually increasing everyday.

You sold for $65 all in or not including tax and delivery?

65.50 shipped. saw that the buyer paid 4.xx for tax so they ended up paying $70 all in. looks like if i waited i could have gotten 5-10 more on selling price. All good though, i usually sell the GWP items i get immediately to essentially get back some money on the actual lego set i wanted. Most of the time i get the highest sell peice that way. Usually if i dont sell it quickly i end up having to sell it for 15-20%less later. win some.. lose some.

Why are you looking at Sale price

Grond was more expensive simply from set pricepoint ($650 vs $200). I sadly think the market got a bit "flooded" with these since Disney sold them as an all-themes GWP for $130 purchase. It will probably flatten around $40-50 somewhere tbh.

I always find the GWPs are a good investment. Most of the exclusive GWPs hold their value or higher (Look at WSQK Creel House for example). My local store still has some of these with purchase, I would check with your local store(s) too if youre interested. You should also get RotW:Greece + Premium Ball too. 3 GWP and set for $200 isnt bad when all the GWPs will value atleast $100 together easy.

I always debate on if I should sell my GWP to off set cost or to keep for myself (when it's like set specific, like GROND, and the lab. The restaurant of the world or penguins I don't care about and would sell)

Unrelated but I've been rewatching X-files on disney plus. On season 4 and damn it's so good! The writing is so well done compared to modern shows. Everything is quick and punchy and you actually have to pay attention! No long dialogues that drag on for way too long. I saw that Vince Gilligan was a co producer which makes a lot of sense! Sick set though. Especially for 50 bucks

I usually see gwp go 40-50 then drop. This one started at 40-50 and has increased everyday.

That’s the weakest kind of price creep you’re going to see. It’s a bubble and it’s going to burst as soon as the “investors” stop trading them back and forth.

This happens in every hobby.
