General Buying & Selling

Hey all , i'm making this thread for a place where people can post what they have bought or have in stock to ask a simple question keep or sell? Keep : keep in storage and wait for a later price up to resell. (well duh) Sell: price's are at a high at the moment if you sell now you will make a nice profit but you dont have to seen as i might go up even more... (lego sets might not stay at higher value so thats why its some time better to sell them now before they go down and reinvest in a cheaper set or 2) (BUT just because people say sell doesnt mean price wont go up anymore! so be aware of this! this is only a recommendation not a todo list) …

I currently a looking to sell many of my lego sets. I do not have the boxes yet I do have the majority of many old star wars sets and some newer marvel/dc superhero sets, some identified, others not. I know for sure I have a y-wing ship that has the anakin skywalker and r2d2 minifies and some sort of droid ship. I need help and if anyone would like to contact me about any of my sets and help me identify them please email me at [email protected]

This is a great project that we undertook with our 6 year old as a way of making him a part of our "sales team." The map represents about 160 sales from 2015, starting with our first Lego sale in March. Each customer gets a pin on the map and then as we ship to a new state my son gets to use the computer to look up an interesting fact about that state, and then write it in a journal. That way he is learning cool facts, and practicing his handwriting and computer skills. I bet he is the only kid in his class that knows what a peninsula is (Florida), or what the state song of Connecticut is (Yankee Doodle). Ive been waiting for a sale to Alaska so we can learn about archipe…

I know this has likely been covered before, but I couldn't find anything in the forums. i shipped a Jokers Funhouse (6857) via FedEx Smartpost. The item shows as delivered in tracking.. the buyer never received it. She went to the post office and they said they delivered it to the wrong house. The house is vacant and the package was gone. The post office told her to ask me if I had insurance, which I did not. what are my options from here?

I am basically a quick flipper, I have the opportunity to get 30% off at the lego store. Please advise me what to buy ( for selling purposes ) thanks

Does any one here have experience packing their sets with "Shrink Wrap Film" ? I am packing all my sets in individual uline boxes and halfway though it, the "wise" person we all have at home aka "Wife" asked if down the road would the film stick to the art box...... uhmmmm??? Would it? I am packing them this way as i am sending them away for storage , and I think the wrap will prevent humidity, dust and critters to damage the box..... Any thoughts? BR

I am having a weird problem printing labels through paypal. When I print a label, my printer uses 3 sheets of paper to print one label. The first sheet is blank, the second has the label, and the third sheet has a line printed at the bottom. Has anyone had any similar printing problems. This started happening several months ago. Any suggestions?

I am working on trying to finish up a few sets for my kids for Christmas. I am missing quite a few mini figures. I would like to purchase a larger lot if possible. They do not need to be mint, they will be played with by little ones. PLMK if you have any of these for sale/trade. I don't have tons to trade, but I will trade very well to complete these sets.

So depending on what lines you have chosen to invest in- are there any sets that you have that you are sick of looking at- wish someone would buy it already? Mine: Lone Ranger Jurassic world Although the obvious is that LR is a not sought after theme, and JW was so massively hoarded that there is not much meat on the bone. Needless to say that sales were promising around BF and have since fizzled out considerably.

There is definitely some interesting reading regarding income tax reporting, but I don't see much discussion about sales tax. I am gearing up to begin selling off 30+ years of collectibles aside from my LEGO stash that is constantly in flux (ever growing). I've been a casual seller on eBay for over 15 years now, but only just recently have I begun to get all of the paperwork in place to become a licensed and registered business (Sole Proprietor). The collectibles were not purchased for profit, but they are still MISB or MOC, so those I'm not too worried about and will most likely start with liquidating those. Combined with LEGO sales, most of which were purcha…

I just sold a Gingerbread house on Ebay for $50 plus shipping to someone with 0 feedback who signed up for Ebay today. They paid instantly through paypal and it was not a check. How protected am I in this transaction and would you allow it to go through?

The size of the 2016 LEGO Wall Calendar seems to be bigger than the regular USPS envelop. I am wondering what is the best way to ship it? Thanks a lot

Has anyone here ever been to the New York Toy Fair? If so, is it worth it? I'm considering applying to go this year, but am not sure that I want to spend the money to do so.

I just need to vent... Saw a cute little polybag Christmas tree set for $3.49 at Target the other day. There were at least 20 of them in stock. I went back the next day to buy one for my holiday display. All of them were gone! Couldn't they have left a few for the end user? Bah humbug!

I purchased a large bulk lot of random lego from a family a few months ago and myself and kids have been working on piecing together everything and taking inventory of it all. So far we have account for about 80 sets that are complete and probably around another 20 or more that are missing 1 - 8 parts max. All sets are from 1998 to 2005 approx. I was looking up the average used value here on brickpicker for each set and was considering selling them in bulk if possible for about 30 - 40% off the avg used value. Most sets come with instructions (all the big ones do) but no boxes. Condition is pretty good but some sets have a little wear from play. All sets exc…

This may be a stupid question but it was difficult to search for... I'm in the UK so generally look for any offers in Pounds Sterling (£), however seeing an offer for a set in Euros (€) on the French Amazon Store i thought i would have a look. In the UK there is a 21% discount bringing the set to approx. £87, in France the set is discounted by 33% to approx. €80 which is approx. £57 with the exchange rate... My obvious problem is that i don't speak French, however, if i can overcome the language barrier i have a few of questions... Are Boxes and Instructions Universal? or are there language differences? Is it likely that Amazon FR would Ship to …

Hi, I am hoping someone may lead me to the right direction on where I can find clamshell packaging like the Build A Minifigure at the Lego store. Prefer to have slots for 5 figures if possible. If anyone have any idea where I can get them that would be greatly appreciated!

Can you still print labels through paypal to Canada? I just completed a trade with a trader from another site and he never told me he was from Canada. I didn't find out until I looked at his return address. Can I still use paypal to print my labels and if so, is it still easy? thx

Hi I just have a quick question for anyone willing to reply, from the pictures of the 2016 lego star wars sets we see that 75136 and 75138 are close to lego sets that we've seen before.I have the droid escape from 2012 I believe and the echo base from 2009. Would now be the best time to sell these? as new versions of these sets will be coming out soon. And will the value go down for these older sets?

Now I would not call myself a LEGO investor, I am just looking to sell my large collection of LEGO sets ( around 135 sets) and make some profit. I have a large amount of Indiana Jones sets including some of the bigger ones like Temple of Doom, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Temple Escape and am looking for advice to see if it would be better to sell them now or if they are likely to grow on the market. I would really appreciate this.......Thanks.

Check out the links for U.S. carrier's shipping cutoff times for this year. I think I am gonna close my store down on 12/13 since I will be out of town anyway for Xmas and I should be able to ship any orders that weekend to reach customers in time for Xmas. Hope this helps. I would think these would be updated at some point by the carriers to cover their butts. https://www.usps.com/holiday/holiday-shipping-dates.htm http://www.fedex.com/us/holiday/last-days-to-ship.html http://compass.ups.com/ups-holiday-calendar/

I just wanted to share an idea with adding pull out drawers with stack on's on them to my current storage shelves. Before I made the shelf unit I could only fit 2 stack on's per shelf now I I can do 4. It cost me $17 for the 2 sets of full extension drawer guides and all the lumber I had in my garage. I took a few hours over a couple days to build. Next time I build them I will make the base a little bit more narrow.

Sorry if this has been posted but I just saw this article in a UK tabloid
