My_own_2_bricks Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I only FBA. Large sets get packed inside a LEGO brown cardboard box with a larger white label on the tape seam that states “Do not open. Sell as a set” I’ve only gotten a couple returns of these sets and both times the set came back in that same box, minty fresh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the times improved any? I'm considering sending in 3 retired big box sets that are $800 plus each. I'd list on ebay, but I got burned a few months ago. Search the seller forums for "ELP1", and consider that scams from buyers are only one way to loose items via FBA. No way would I consider selling high-priced items FBA at this point, and I'm probably done with FBA altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, Amazon was late at ramping up an FC called ELP1, but their system already counted it as "live" and sent FBA shipments there. Those inventory were stuck there since that FC was not ready to ship outbound 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller support has been zero-help. "be patient" is their standard reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From those nice Amazon buyers Me too. High buy it now with best offer. Best way to screen the buyer. If someone buys without an offer it's likely a scammer. I have had some luck selling big sets on CL too. Prob need to be in a big city though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'm in the minority, but these were my sales in December and January of $400+ sets. I probably sold 100+ sets in the $200-$400 range. Didn't have a single return. Yet. I try not to sell anything during the holidays that will reappear in the next couple months at retail; that's just asking for a return. My preference is to only sell things that will never return. 21310 - $600 x2 21311 - $425 10232 - $430 10188 - $1095 10214 - $410 10234 - $595 10257 - $589 x2 75159 - $1400 x2 10247 - $590 x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put them all in 24x24 boxes and shipped 'em. Wasn't smart, but I was pressed for time. If I would've had the factory boxes, I probably would've done what was suggested above and slapped a 'Do Not Open - Sold as a set' sticker on each of them. Or at least written it if you don't have the stickers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what a 'fortune' is, but it came out to $63 to send all of those in. I'll take $5 each shipping on over-sized sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my standard sized go to one FC if I’m sending more than 18 in, but my oversized always get split between three FCs regardless of how many I’m sending.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil B Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Amazon has had the audacity to charge me FBA storage fees for sets that they have made inactive while in FC Transfer for the last 2 months. F*#kers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladner Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) i sure hope this doesn't end. getting discounts now on pretty much every item unless its going under 400 miles. this one seemed particularly juicy going to ID from the east coast. almost like a $5 scratcher now seeing how much off i'm going to get on shipping. almost.

Mark Twain Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Odd glitch. I’m trying to add some Funko Walgreens exclusives through the app and am prompted to “request approval” each time I scan a barcode. I go through each one and am auto approved based on selling history, but still cannot list. Waited 24 hours and the cycle repeats.

I've had one out there for over 6 months for something similar. I'm not sure when they fall off. I haven't heard any follow-ups from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
