I have a used 10182 Cafe Corner for sale.  This set comes complete with box and instructions.  I purchased it from an adult collector with the intent to resell it.  It was assembled once and displayed in a room without sunlight.  From a smoke-free home.  Pieces, instructions, and box are in very good condition (like new).  I'd keep it if I didn't already have two myself.  I will re-verify all pieces are there before shipping.

Also for sale, a brand new (from Lego S@H directly to me) a 10185 Green Grocer.  From my non-smoking, pet free home.  Box is in perfect brand new condition.

Also, I have some brand new (from Lego S@H directly to me) 10194 Emerald Night sets.  From my non-smoking, pet free home.  Boxes are in perfect brand new condition.

Prices:

Cafe Corner:  $800 Canadian   SOLD
Green Grocer:  $550 Canadian   SOLD
Emerald Night: $200 Canadian

Plus shipping costs.  If you would like to verify my identity, I am Locutis on Bricklink (my store is The Borg Collective  http://www.bricklink...e.asp?p=Locutis), and I am locutis24 on eBay (http://feedback.ebay...tab=AllFeedback).

No shipping to EU?

I think the shipping costs from Canada to the EU would make it so prohibitively expensive.  These would have to ship only by XPress Post International, which starts at $40 here just for a letter!  I just checked how much shipping would be to Belgium on the Cafe Corner, and Canada Post says they would rip me off at $334.54!!  There really is no other way to send it from Canada that I would trust.  Therefore, I think only members in Canada/USA would be interested in buying from me.

You do not know what is asked for this sets over here ;) Just now there are a few ones cheaper, but give it some months and your offer would be worth it. Right now, they are starting to ask ~ 3.000 CAD for 10182 at ebay (no one buys it yet but i fear, it's just a matter of time).

I am so sad that I did not get one those days. Unbelievable.

Are these sets so rare in EU that someone would actually pay the NA going rate, plus over $300 for shipping!?!?!?  If so, that's unbelievable!  It's funny how the post office would make more on the shipping than I would on the set!  ;)

I bought one for myself in Feb 2010 for $290 and I thought I was paying a lot.  Hindsight tells me that was an awesome deal!  I just assembled the pieces for my son to have one, and the cost was in the $400 range.  I did a couple of substitutions that he won't mind/care about that can always be changed later.  I would keep the Cafe Corner I bought for my son, but he's happy with the set I put together for him, and it would be better to resell it (for me).  The Cafe Corner I'm selling though is fully original, no substitutions, complete with box.  I didn't even get a box with the one I bought myself in 2010!
