Spanky Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi all, I'm an AFOL who came out of my dark ages about 5 years ago. Started flipping in 2011, not so much for profit but to support the hobby. Love playing and building wiht my daughters and just got my wife interested in building the Fairgrounds Mixer. At the high my inventory was about $20k MSRP in opened sets, but had to free up a bunch of shelf space so now I'm down to mostly things I hope to build in the future. The biggest lessons I've learned so far are: These things taka a lot of space to store. These things can be expensive to ship. Dont discount the value of your own time. Don't sell too soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neosphinx Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thank you for the tips. Indeed I think the crucial thing in investing is to sell at the right time! And don't buy everything that is discounted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mynatt Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Welcome! I lived a large portion of my life in Colorado and loved it. All the mountain biking and skiing on weekends, oh how I miss it. I have moved to a different state but I really do miss Colorado. Anyway from one Coloradian to another, welcome to brickpicker!

Spanky Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 hello. It sounds like you're are builder first. what's been your favorite builds? 7939 Cargo Train had a tremendous amount of play value, but not everybody likes trains. 10228 was a fun build with lots of cute details.
