Hi, I've really enjoyed reading this forum over the last month and appreciated the insight. I've certainly got carried away at times in the early days of investing having read some of the advice in the forums. However, I occassionally notice a post that says something doesn't really apply to Europe, e.g the popularity of a certain line, or where is good for selling, or the time it takes for items to increase in value. So as a lot of the advice is written with north america in mind, I thought it would be really useful to hear from those based in the UK and Europe. - What are the main differences for our market to the US - What sort of discout and ROI do you usually aim for? - Where do you prefer to buy and sell trom? - What delivery companies do you recommend for the mid to large sizes? - Any good cheaper 2nd hand selling sites for used sets we want to make ourselves? - Are there any yearly sales in our region to look out for? - Aside from xmas are there peak times to sell in the UK? - any good tips on saving in the UK by buying from the EU while the Euro is down? - Any recommended toy shops for picking up older stock? Sorry if this has all been covered elsewhere but i couldn't find a thread that focused on it. Cheers B
