General Buying & Selling

Just sold my first item on Ebay in awhile and I'm fairly certain that my prior settings were to ship to only lower 48, but the winner is from Hawaii. Just need someone to confirm what it seems that I'm reading is that Flat rate Boxes will ship to all 50 states for the same price? Want to prepare myself for an additional charge now rather in the morning staring at the postal worker. Thanks

Are Lego sets just in general worth more money when they are put together or are the worth more when there taken apart and in bags?

Hi, Im LegoFanSpot. Im located in Massachusetts. Im looking to buy, sell or trade lego minifigures and sets.

I can also be reached at: [email protected] Kind Regards, LegoFanSpot

Had a question about selling my complete set of Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series. I am not a collector, rather just have enjoyed following lego collecting on line. This interest led to me starting to purchase only NEW Star Wars UCS sets over the years and hanging on to them given my love of star wars and lego - not even sure why! I thought these might be fun for my son and I to build or it was a really fun way to force some savings. I am now ready to sell them all and I am trying to figure out how. Each set is bubble wrapped and boxed in a separate cardboard box - was trying to avoid selling individually given the time to take pics, list, and ship numerous times!!…

More and more, I miss out on great deals as I do not have Amazon Prime (I think it is not possible yet for the Netherlands). I was wondering what the experiences are of the people that do have it and if it is recommended. Next to this, it would be nice to have a thread to track changes to the proposition. I am sorry if this thread already exists, but I could not find it.

i will be in New York Most of June i hope theres plenty bargains in walmart etc when I'm there haha Any other recommendations on places for lego deals ?

Not sure where to post this but thought it was interesting. I just went to a couple of my local shopkos to pick up some 40% off Airport Terminals and I saw these stickers at one of them plastered all over the Friends sets and a few Star Wars sets...

Hi All, Can we post sets we are interested in selling on this site? I have a few sets from my childhood I want to sell so I can get into the newer sets but it looks like my earlier post got deleted with no instructions. Just looking for some guidance here. Thanks

Hi all, I'm going to list some old used sets from '95-'97 on ebay in a few weeks and to be completely honest I wanted to post what would be available online to the community here. The issue is I was not sure which thread (if any) I can post this under. I am trying to get into some of the newer sets with the funds from these sales. Thanks for any advice! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

So tonight I did something I told myself I would never do...buying a bulk listing off Craigslist. 2-3 times a week I'll scroll through CL, offerup, letgo, etc to see if there is any deals or anything worth while. I've bought a few sets off offerup/Letgo with overall success from my reason used Tumbler for 160 or the UCS AT-ST for 120. I've always looked over the "bulk/lot/Lego by the pound" post for the thought of going through all the sets gave me shivers down my spine. Despite that feeling I came across a deal I didn't want to pass up. I bought roughly 130 sets for 700 dollars tonight. Sets from all different themes (mainly city and SW) from Detective office to Kwik E…

you can now send off your used amazon boxes to Goodwill after printing free shipping label. pretty cool. I'm sure none of us have amazon boxes lying around though http://www.kiro7.com/news/trending-now/amazon-goodwill-team-up-to-use-empty-shipping-boxes/477487544

It's not listed on the December calendar like previous VIP pre sales were/are, I'm assuming it's the 16th?

My mate has made a purchase and the seller stated their location as UK. He paid and estimated delivery date is 29th Dec. He tried contacting the seller but no response. Checking on tracking brings him to the Japanese eBay site and an error message. Can someone advise of action to take and how long he has to cancel the order?

Hi, I am relatively new to Lego re-selling. Over about a decade I have amassed a collection of mini figures which I intend to sell for a decent price. If it works so, the money I receive will be re-invested into Lego which I can once again sell and expand my inventory. Do you recommend, for a beginner, I begin an e-store or go straight to auction sites? I live in New Zealand by the way. Thanks so much to anyone who replies.

After reluctantly buying my very first Nexo Knights set (Christmas present for my son who seems to be into it), I figured others might have "Shame" purchases that they might want to fess up to. Sort of the AA thread of BP. Not to be confused with the "Buyers Remorse" thread - these are purchases you willingly made for "good" purposes. Anyways, my name is Phil B. and I purchased a 70321 General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom from Jet.com today. The good news - I got it at 51% off using the EXTRA20 coupon after bundling it with a smaller set for my BL store.

I am the proud owner of a full Santa FE train, this includes 5 carriages and two engine carriages for each end, neither with boxes or instructions unfortunately :/ .I also own a smaller vintage train with a electronic engine and alot of track! I have been wondering for a while now what this would be worth and how rare these sets are! Any help would be great!!

Went to a garage sale and they were selling new lego sets for really cheap. I got a rebel U-wing set never been opened and also vaders tie fighter vs a wing starfighter. I had an idea to find more garage sales like this and sell the findings I get online. The lowest listings I can find online is 53.00 +10.00 shipping(ebay) for the first and 56.79 +free shipping (walmart) for the second. Should I sell these on bricklink, ebay, or another form of storefront or if anyone here is interested let me know where you would like me list them, and if someone wants to negotiate a price I was thinking in the ballpark of 40.00 with 10 shipping. I don't really know how much l…

A while back in the UK deals thread there was a lot of talk regarding income tax / VAT etc so I thought it would be a good idea if we had a thread dedicated to it. As the majority of people on this forum are from North America, and they have totally different rules / regulations to tax etc we can keep this thread for UK only. It seems like ebay are now clamping down on the masses of Chinese sellers who undercut all the UK sellers and not pay any tax / VAT: ***VAT compliance for overseas sellers*** 09 November, 2016 | 01:34PM GMT Hello, Earlier this year, the UK government announced new measures to tackle the non-payment of VAT…

Anyone else planning to be at the opening of the new Leicester Square shop tomorrow? Doors open at 12:00 Possibly even try for a meet-up after people have grabbed the things they came for just to see who managed to get the Lester minifig rather than a parrot..

Don't know how many of you all like eBooks then if you do you may or may not like them on Lego's but get a whole bunch (legally) from $1 or 16 of them for $15. Plus your purchase partially gets donated! https://www.humblebundle.com/books/lego-book-bundle

What has been the biggest change in Lego investing this year, in your opinion. If you think it was another factor from those listed in the poll, please say so here.

Ok, so it looks as though I've been stiffed on a Taj Mahal through delcampe.net. In short, bought last Saturday, on Sunday had a re fund being processed, had an email today saying its failed. Had tried emailing the seller through delcampe and PayPal (both different email) and directly through both sites but no response. The delcampe email no longer exists and their store is now empty. So...........anyone had any luck in getting their money back? And to add insult to injury, just did a search for the image and it popped up on some Hong Kong Pinterest style site!!! FFS!

This is my first holiday season as a seller. I have a few sets that I'd like to sell. Do prices rise around the holiday season? I have a friend who sells vintage video games and he said the prices soar when Amazon kicks the small timers off for the holiday season. What has your experience been? Thanks

I spoke with someone who is willing to let me sell his Lego for a cut of the profit. about 100 minifigs and some boxed sets. Anyone done this before? What is a reasonable % for me to get for selling and shipping for him?
