General Buying & Selling

Now I am not sure if this is the right place for trade but I decided to get rid of a few sets/items since I am trying to liquidate some cash to buy more LEGO Toy shop sets from my local retailer (see trade in General investing ***Hot Stuff***) SETS are MISB condition, box being rated easily 8 if not very close to 9! 2x Winter Village Toy Shop 1x Winter Village Bakery LINK to 1 box http://shrani.si/f/3k/6T/3jKmwJki/1/toyshop.jpg COMBINED PRICE(including shipping): 485$ (shipping costs me 70$ roughly (priority+registered+insured) Current lowest Toy Shop on Ebay = 200$ + shipping Current lowest Bakery on Ebay = 150$ + shipping I…

Hi folks, I need some help. Basically I sold some stuff over ebay and now couple of the buyers come back to me and tell me that the shipping cost shows up $9 something in the product detail page, but after they won the bid and check out, the shipping cost from the final checkout shows $10 something. I just checked other recent transactions, it seems like other buyers may have this issue also. I selected Automatic Calculate and FedEx Economy option when create listing. Does anyone know why the shipping cost in product detail page is different than the checkout page? Is it something configurable in listing page? I tried to contact ebay but I only see the C…

I have been doing ebay for a while but I have been fine tuning things as i figure out which products sell better than others, areas where I can cut costs, find a more steady supply of products, try and find ways to scale but the one thing that i have yet to figure out if %^&*ing shipping. I seem to play the gambling game with shipping...trying to find that fine line between giving the customer a good, fair price on shipping and charging enough so I don't lose $$. I found the tool below which compares the various shipping options and their prices. Rumor has it that fedex and UPS can be cheaper for larger items... http://shipgooder.com/ The prices jus…

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a recommendation after buying my first Lego investment - Tower bridge (in storage). I am Uk based and have around

I always thought that "drop shipping" was a derogatory term but I don't think it is really. I guess it is in the way we use it on this website but I was looking at at a golf related item on Ebay and the listing clearly stated that the item would be drop shipped. Just something I found interesting, not sure of its educational value though lol

Kmart.com has a few items on sale, to include Helm's Deep and Attack on Weathertop Currently, 9472 is available for shipping, but 9474 is only available for local pickup. Free shipping over $79 for Shop Your Way Members and code - KMART10PSAVINGS gets you 10% off. Total, with tax, I was able to get 9472 for $48.33 and 9474 for $104. Not the best deal in the world, but since these are EOL, definitely worth picking up. Good Luck! - Ed

I've never parted out a set or sold the figures from a set. I'm just wondering if there are sets out there that members are having success parting out? Thanks in advance for posting!

This set is priced down to 15.00 currently and with the current promotion you can get 15% off additionally to each one.

Free shipping on orders over 50. I was able to get four of these cannons in my cart for a grand total of 51.00. Not bad. Happy Hunting!

So I haven't really encountered this and was wondering what others have done. I sent a package USPS priority last week. Buyer sends pictures today showing outside box and inside contents being crushed. I sent it to him MINT - lots of packing materials, all new shipping boxes. He sent me an FYI - not asking for anything but showing me the boxes have been clearly damaged on shipping. Am I responsible for this? Has anyone else encountered this before ?(i'm sure this must be common...) Any recourse for obtaining damages from shipper?

I have been collecting Lego set for years and it’s time for me to sell them. Please check my profile worth $4000 if you are interested. I am willing to ship the Lego too. All in perfect condition and from a smoke free home. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

I know this set is toystory... but it's also also a train, will the good outweigh the bad? I see it runs for around $75 on here. I have the chance to buy it for $55. Should I do it?

hey everyone. was wondering if anyone has sold on B&****** before. I noticed people but prices high on some older sets that shouldn't being fetch that high of value yet. was wondering if people are actually being from 3rd party people there. Thanks

As someone that's a little more interested in building than investing, I decided to take the Craigslist plunge a couple weeks back and finally saw a listing I was compelled to buy, a kid selling a 25 pound tub of assorted pieces for 100 bucks. The transaction was a good experience (rare for CL), apparently there was another buyer but they backed out. The seller was a kid who had been collecting probably since the early 2000's judging by the pieces, looked to be about 14 or so, and was trying to get money to get himself a Nintendo 3DS, so it felt like I was helping him out. As far as the pieces themselves, it wasn't too bad. They were clean for the most part, there…

Until the 25th you have free listings - http://pages.ebay.com/promo/2013/1121/2013Listings.html Start listing people!

Hello everyone! I need help with finding a site or a good place to sell vintage collectors legos. So if possible, please list good sites or places to sell them. Also, if any of you are interested in knowing what these sets are, just say so in the comments or replies. But please, please, please help with site finding. Attached to this "document" is a picture of one of my sets That set is set #6981. I have over 15 sets with boxes that are ready to be sold. But please help with finding good sites. Thanks!

i have come across a case of these bytar booster packs on clearance for $1.99 each. i counted 31 in the case. i have a $10 in store coupon that would bring the cost down to $1.76/each, including tax. looking at their current value on brickpicker, and some sold listings on ebay, it looks like i should be able to sell them for $5-$7 each plus a $1.49 s/**** charge without a problem. shipping shouldn't be too much, since they can be mailed in an envelope with a stamp or two, and after fees it looks like i could pocket approx $3.50 profit/each. my question is this...is all of this work worth the approx $100 profit i will make? i am more of the buy and hold investor, and h…

I just read that baxters robot rampage is a target exclusive??? Here in Europe we have no idea about these so called exclusives!! How can i find out which sets are exclusive before its to late!!! Help.......

Idk if this is a good deal for investing, but it is a great deal if you actually want the clock and watch (do people actually want these..? The boba clock does look pretty cool) WooT! you can choose darth maul or boba fett and you get the clock and watch (with minifig) for $19.99 plus $5 shipping says it has 5 hrs left or until sold out

So I purchased a bulk lot yesterday for a school holiday activity I'm running - mainly for the random mix of bricks and bits which can be hard to replicate piece by piece. The photos of the listing were terrible but I took a punt. Happy with the contents at initial glance - a stack of knights kingdom stuff (including 2 castles) and spotted a few indications of spiderman which turned out to be doc ocks hideout. Probably worth four times what I paid on those bits alone ! Further digging last night revealed fire and police stations, a very cool rescue helicopter plus more smallish city sets, exo force and a tiny bit of star wars just in the bulk lot. Pretty happy with that, …

I think one of the bigger cultural differences between America and Canada in regards to the hobby we all share is the means by which alot of reselling is accomplished. It seems to me that while Ebay has a dominant presence in the US, along with Craiq's List, up north Canadians seem quite enamored with Kijiji. More local than Ebay, Kijiji has some positives you don't get with Ebay, local pick up/drop off and no auction. I think Kijiji is pretty slick and the past months I've seen everything from Green Grocer to this 10179 Millenium Falcon listed locally. http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-toys-games-Millennium-falcon-W0QQAdIdZ460942456 Just wondering if any B…

Today I went to the Lego Store! Spent 2 hours at the Pick a Brick Wall trying to fit pieces into cups. ;-) Scored a Large Pick a Brick and Small Pick a Brick cup for a total of $26 including tax. In it were over 1000 pieces which comes out to be $0.025 per piece!!! I need them to make the 10189 Taj Mahal through the method of Bricklinking. Learned from the Lego employee that they (the employees of Lego) are NOT allowed to buy Legos to sell them later on since Lego employees were buying all the sets (he said in particular the Green Grocer) once they heard that they wouldn't be getting any more shipments of it. Apparently Lego employees would buy all of them...then se…

what time will this hit lego.com? 12:01 AM? 6:00 AM?
