Want to make money?

A company called Master Replicas has been making replica light sabers for years. They sell them for like $400. Everything they make sells out.

Well, you will always have hardcore fans, but alot of general fans will move on.

**Chris** · 02-27-2004, 12:46 PM

Who do you think buys the stuff? Heh I have some customers who spend thousands.

**incka** · 02-27-2004, 01:31 PM

Yeah, a friend of mine wants to buy all your stock...

**Chris** · 03-05-2004, 05:55 PM

The statue I told you all to buy is now sold out. It isn't even going to be out until July or whatever.

Cool. I see that it's a "limited" edition of 9500... is that higher than their other statues or not?

**Chris** · 03-05-2004, 08:34 PM

Its about the same as the newest batch, higher than previous batches.

Could they do well on ebay?

**Chris** · 06-06-2004, 06:41 AM

1. No, that is an open edition.

2. Most likely, especially since you're in the UK (lower supply in Europe). But you'll have to wait awhile (like 2005).

**Mike** · 06-06-2004, 07:03 AM

Ok, thanks Chris.

**incka** · 06-06-2004, 07:22 AM

I could afford to buy them now...

**flyingpylon** · 06-10-2004, 02:21 PM

I see that the Mogul Lord Witch King statues are already getting listed on eBay. Looks like people are trying to get Buy It Now buyers for about $500.

When is the best time to list these things? Before, right after, or way after it's released?

**Mike** · 06-10-2004, 11:13 PM

Have you got yours yet flyingpylon?

**Chris** · 06-11-2004, 06:51 AM

On the more indemand statues that are sure to go up I'd wait until after they're all shipped. They ship in batches of say 500 or 1000 so it'll take a little while.

On others if you just want a quick turn around you could sell them right away, but you probably will not make as much.

**flyingpylon** · 06-11-2004, 07:01 AM

Mike- I haven't gotten mine yet. I think they're supposed to ship in July or August.

Chris- Since I know absolutely nothing about LOTR, is this Mogul Lord Witch King character popular? They made 9500 statues... is that not enough (good for me) or too many (bad for me).

So much for the saying "Invest in what you know"!
