I've been eying this set for a while now for Lego resale.
What is it: Its almost in the line of modular houses in its construction patterns, and it profits from having 8 castle minifigs. It was released 2009, so it is going to get retired sometime soon.
Estimated resale price 1 year after retirement: $300
So why is this so good? Already, prices have started to increase even though the set is not yet retired. Check Amazon for example. Even though you can buy it on Lego.com for $100, the price has already spiked to $150. It is a lego exclusive, limiting acquisition possibilities, but meaning that it is becoming more rare. Even on Bricklink where you can find most sets for less then they sell for has the set up about $10 on base price. This is even before the set has retired. This is a Lego set that definitely will be a good investment. The best part is, even if the whole thing falls through, you can always sell it for scrap. Its got tons of rare pieces in there, from the cows to the hairbrushes. It is defiantly less fun to nickel and dime yourself to profit, but with this set it is defiantly possible.
Where to buy: Unfortunately, since the other sites are already turning a profit and its a Lego exclusive, the only possible meathod is to buy from Lego.com or the store. You could get lucky at Ebay, but again sets there are selling for about $150 already.
