I just found out the new set will be Winter Village Market  rclxm9.gif Gonna complete my collection this year! thumbup.gif

Yeah, that one was a freebie from last December... Lovely set! cry.gif

QUOTE(vey99 @ Jun 11 2013, 01:27 PM)
apparently 20% profit for lego is "not enough" for most seller due to high item value and risk.

but u can imagine the profit if u can bring in even half a container... i think the profit can buy a benz liao
*
Can't speak for other sellers but I'm not even getting 10% on most of the sets, if can get 20% or more I'll setup an online store... hmm.gif

Freebies from Lego S@H we have to spend our $$ to buy... haih...  sad.gif

That's the way it is bro, not everyone can get their hands on it so it created opportunities.... Just like currently the McD Hello Kitty selling higher to those who missed out on the earlier releases... Nothing morally wrong with it though. Nobody is forcing anyone to pay a premium for anything, in the end it is willing buyer willing seller situation. icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(Caryane @ Jun 11 2013, 02:14 PM)
No offense guys, i think its unfair to judge online resellers that gain large margin of profit.

Sometimes we got a bad deal or high exchange rate or get taxed, ended up only earn RM10 or no profit.

Its still way cheaper than retail, i think i should stop here.

Dont want to venture into the profit margin and stuff.

Lets get back to the LEGO topic tongue.gif
*
Well said bro! rclxms.gif

It is unfair to criticise, if a buyer find a certain set expensive then just move on. Seller has the right to put any price and it is the buyer's decision whether to buy or not... In the end it is just simple economics. icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(Chaud @ Jun 11 2013, 02:25 PM)
kinda addicted of winter village set after seing got so many different type each year cry.gif
*
lol! It's not too late to collect now bro! Prices are still quite ok for Winter Village series. nod.gif

Is is an absolutely gorgeous series especially so when you put it up during the Christmas season.

QUOTE(hades4eve @ Jun 11 2013, 02:31 PM)
Good take.

Let me share a wee bit from buyer perspective.

There are times that they factor in some unnecessary issue. For example, postage? condition of the box? the trouble to collect and all those.

OK, if let say I found a deal RM10 cheaper. If I want to buy is either I will ask for COD or postage. COD will factor in time / petrol / toll / jam / parking. Postage will factor in cost of courier / need someone to sign for receive package / the trouble to go collect at post office.

Some of us will say "ship to office", but some of the buyer do not want to because they don't want their colleague to stick their nose into their courier, dun wan their boss to think 3 think 4.

Scam is another factor that hinder a lot of people buying online, especially those who pay directly to bank. A lot of case reported is buyer receive payment and disappear.

Well, these may be just some of the buyer's perspective.
*
The saying "buyers beware" comes to mind... If you look deeper into it, the resellers are also "buyers" as they have to buy it from Europe/USA. They also run the risk of running into scams or the sets not arriving in the conditions that they first expected... What do the resellers do with the damaged sets?

no prize but wanna see if its a "recognisable" shop or not...
actually the doctor chair/table is more hidden but i got no idea/space so put it there.
Nowaday the doctor get their own room liao, seldom can consult outside like the old old days.

So far i feel its too brown, but thats just the way it is. Also not much details for this type of shop.
This design may very likely fall into my KIV folder... we'll see...

Hi and welcome! biggrin.gif Here we try to support and poison each other with our craze for Lego, you are at the right place! laugh.gif

You will find many resellers in this forum, some are active members in this discussion forum (The Official LEGO Enthusiast Club V11) while other sellers can be found in the LYN Street Mart.
You can click the link:Lowyat.NET -> Trade Zone -> LYN Street Mart -> Hobbies & Collectibles

what is the tax rate if some1 bring a container of Lego worth 10,000?

to seller here, what's the highest value you had imported so far?
*
Hmmm.... hmm.gif with Lego RM10k will only fill up a few cardboard boxes, not one container... I think import tax/duty remained the same, Kastam Malaysia don't give discount for bulk orders...

QUOTE(47ronin @ Jun 11 2013, 05:18 PM)
if profit less than RM10, better put the modal in FD/UT.

too much hassle & untung only RM10.

for me, for a business man, anything less than 15% is not worth at all UNLESS you got volume.

I fully agree with your statement. nod.gif But not every reseller treat it as a full blown business, I do it because I enjoy meeting like minded people and sharing our passion for Lego. biggrin.gif

Try to look at it at a different perspective, building a relationship with your customer is one.

That's how people become loyal customers

Just my 2 cents.

I build friendship with fellow AFOLS, that's where I make the 15% "profit margin". tongue.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

If it is under 2 separate invoices then you should be ok. Customs assess based on the parcel/package value, not cumulative value by a person...

Hmmm... hmm.gif I think if it's 2 separate physical parcels you are still ok because each individual parcel has to be attached with one invoice. If you have paid in full under one invoice to the seller but he decided to ship to you separately, he would need to issue separate invoices for each parcel. That will be the normal practice. If that's the case then each parcel should escape customs... I hope that made sense! lol!

Lol! 5 box of CMF s10 means u got 30 skydiver... 30 baseball plater... 30 mechanic.... Can form a team already...

I thought that was Voltron? hmm.gif That's my era la... Power Rangers is alien to me. tongue.gif

lol! The one I dislike most are the baseball players... vmad.gif Feel like crushing them with a bulldozer!

I can still live with mechanics and skydiver...

Actually, this idea just came up on how to deal with the extras:
1. Glue the baseball players to golf balls and give them a good whack at the golf driving range!
2. Tie paper napkins to the skydivers and release them from 20th floor!
3. Insert the mechanics into my car's exhaust pipe and rev the engine!

Orang kaya dah post with his ship collection. Next up build and then do custom acrylic casing for it
Hohoho big ship there I assume. 

Anyway was at Curve TRU today. Two Lego staff wearing Lego T-shirt was there arranging the stocks. Saw some new sets there (Tree House, Family House, wizard battle, black gate, AT-TE, new SW sets, friends set and lots of new duplo). Finally get to molest 31010 and 31012 boxes

Sad sighting was there were 4 packs of series 10 CMF torn literally. There are actually people tearing off the packet although the boxes are located right at the counter sad.gif I didn't check if there's any missing parts though but the tear was quite big. Passed it to the counter and hopefully they will do something about it.

Another check, any of you get from Amazon US before, where they calculate the import tax as well, so meaning do we still need to pay any custom tax when it's here?
*
Just ordered 2 sets of 7965 Millennium Falcon from Amazon US few days ago... rclxms.gif

Attached Image

The tax as shown, you won't need to pay anymore tax. In fact, it is an estimate of the tax so what it means is if customs let it pass without kena tax then by right Amazon will have to refund that money. (what are the chances heh?) Also if say actual tax charged by custom is less than what you paid, you will get a refund on the balance. If actual tax charged is higher, Amazon will absorb the additional charges.

Don't know if this is old news, but as many here will say sharing is caring.

Lazada is giving RM 70 coupon off for purchases above rm 200 . (on condition that user download its app).

Hence, 79006 The Council Of Elrond at RM 209 - RM 70 = RM 139.

Is that a good price?

lol! Sorry I have bad news to report... Last night I checked price and stock availability of 4195 with my supplier and guess what? Have stock but price jumped by 20 Euros!! shocking.gif rclxub.gif Moreover the Euro has gone past 4.2, getting expensive to import...

I don't want to order anymore... you guys who bought earlier had a good deal. wink.gif thumbup.gif

So based on the latest development... RM940 for a MISB isn't too far off the mark now especially if it is perfect box. I regret being so nice to all the buyers of QAR... Should've kept all for myself and let it appreciate... tongue.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
