General Buying & Selling

Looking for Simpson’s house and kwik e mart if anyone has any to sell. Used complete or new. Box condition doesn’t matter.

After reading the comments on the purchase thread about the steals at Shopko, and finding myself in a town tonight with a store, I went to check it out. And I had my dad in tow for the senior discount. I could already taste the cash. Uruk Hai Army, $50. Hulk's heli -- wait, what? Uruk ..... Hai .... Army ..... $ .... 5.....0. Then I started noticing other sets priced accordingly. I cursed a few times and stomped out. I also said something like "more criminal than tru".

My spideysense is off the scale on this one. Some Lego items they have are just too good to be true. And we all know what it means when something is too good to be true. But...damn....if they're legit......some seriously nice deals there. So, anyone have the skinny on this shop?I never heard of them. Their site looks OK, but the listings are a little questionable. A lot of very valuable sets, with very little information on each set. My gut feeling is to pass on these sets, unless someone wants to buy a small set to try them out and see if they actually send the item.

As this year comes to a close, we have much profit to be thankful for. 12 months of buying, selling, and dealing with the wonderful customers. Was there anything special for you that stood out this year? A great deal on an item to flip? Flip something for an out of this world profit? A special customer who really made your year? A special buy was finding someone's hidden stash of First Order Star Destroyers. A special sale was flipping 50 x 75119 Jyn Erso Buildables for a $450 profit I also had a very "special" buy on eBay that offered me a bag of used marital aids. Thankfully he didn't deliver. …

Like most of you, I believe, I am new to LEGO investing. I have been watching pretty closely the sets I am most intrested in. Come on, we all think if we like it everyone else should too, right? I am learning that I need to think "out of the box". I have started to buy sets that I really won't enjoy building if I am stuck with, but maybe I can make a little money for myself to spend on the sets I want to build. Thank goodness I have Grandkids that Love Lego. I am intrested in anyones thoughts as to how they decide what to buy. Is it price? Is it just what you like? Do you follow ebay sales? Do you watch Amazon? Do you watch lego.com? Do you listen to what every…

I was going through the items at YoYo today and I noticed that the had the Hogwarts castle in stock. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

I know why they call it YOYO.com now because apparently they have a bunch of yoyos packaging the Lego sets for shipping. I bought a vampyre castle and a helms deep from them over the past week and both arrive separately and slightly crushed. They are sending me replacements, but I can't imagine they are going to hold up any better. Anyway...that's all.

This set is priced down to 15.00 currently and with the current promotion you can get 15% off additionally to each one. Here is the link: http://www.yoyo.com/p/lego-star-wars-geonosian-cannon-9491-272616 Lego15Spring is the promo code when you buy two or more Lego sets through the website. 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!

Here is the straight of it. BOGOLEGO is the coupon code. It will only work on two sets within a single order. If someone can figure out a better combination please post. This sale is good for a true 25% off discount if you buy two of the same set. Happy Hunting! LINK TO YOYO.COM

I need an advice. Anybody been in the situation when Ontrac site shows "delivered" status but package is not actually delivered? The time they show there is about 5.30 pm, I was home that time and later, so that's a bull... I filed the report on yoyo.com and received a response, just as usual "check with family members" blah blah. I double checked all my yard and the shipping address on yoyo of course. I'll keep talking to them, but I'm not too optimistic about it to be honest. Well, I didn't lose much, just about $40 order. So. Any similar stories with yoyo? I'll post if any updates on my story.

Has anyone had any luck doing a return with Zavvi? My order of of a single 31109 arrived in a thin cardboard box that had seen better days. The set is severely crushed along an entire side and front. One of the seals is ripped open. I decided I'd rather just return it. At first Zavvi wanted to offer me 20% off to keep it, but I declined. Then they sent me a return slipped that marked it as being returned as "unwanted" instead of the "damaged on arrival" option clearly on the slip. Unwanted meant the item had to come back in "like new" condition. After working with them to correct the form, I went to return and noticed the return address is in the UK. I'm in…
