What would you be willing to spend on set 4199?
« on: April 04, 2011, 16:14:18 »
I found this pretty fairy set from a store in IL but they want to charge $53.87 shipped. Shipping alone is $13.88 (UPS), they would not hear me out and ship it Priority for cheaper.
So would you pay that much for this set?

PS: I cannot post any pic ...not sure what I am doing wrong...

That sounds average if MISB, & it's considered retired. There is one listed as Buy it Now on eBay for $48.23 with $27.83 shipping from Canada to the USA total is $76.06.

That does sound pretty reasonable, though too bad they won't ship it cheaper. To post pics, you'll need to host them on a site like photo bucket or image shack. Photo bucket is better, because members in South America have trouble seeing image shack pics. Both sites are free.

Ok, thanks a bunch! :)

And when you're uploading pics on photobucket, be sure and use the bulk uploader, even if you're just uploading one picture. It's easier to use, because you can see thumbnails of the pics as you select them.

lol, I have all the other little sets (4194, 4195, 4196, 4197, 4198 and 7463). I got them at around 50 to 60% off, that's why I have a hard time paying so much for this one!
I have my Mom looking around in toy stores near her (in France) in case she can spot it. I am not planning on giving those sets to my 6 year old for another few  months...

You could get me to hand over $2Ø for it. (Though in all due fairness to me, it’s not the sort of thing I’d get to begin with…)
If I’m jealous, you did SOMETHING right. Keep it up. :D

i got mine for $40 last year, so your price IS reasonable :) (shipping can make the total amount a pain in the *** though)

I believe this is still on the shelves of some toy store here for around 20 euros or so...
