"When I was 9, I couldn't afford that $110 Lego set". Picture of a Lego pirate ship. "But now I'm an adult. I think I shall buy it.". Looking at a newspaper. Ebay listing of that Lego set priced at $19,089. Confused look on their face

BrickLink 'new' average sold for the last 6 months is 340~ retail was 200. its a retired set of a beloved 80's set updated, so deff not going to find a new set for less than that. i have one in my collection, yeah i'd prob let go for 340+you cover shipping, but I'd definitely cover shipping for 19k! lol

and yes you to can list anything on ebay for whatever absurd price you want. but even ebay has a sold filter/tracker you should be checking..

EDIT: it early ok. i need my coffee. meme is talking about the OG set not the recent 2020 remake (they used the same box art/style), new yeah 1400ish still not 19k. and yeah 1400 for a 800+ NEW set from stone-age seems right, and the argument is still perfectly cromulent

    For $19k, I would personally hand deliver it within the US.

    I would personally deliver it anywhere in the world that isn't at war, so not the US

    You're counting technically at war? Then almost no country will qualify. Certainly not the us, which multiple countries gotta have declared war with.
