Does this mean it's bad to use an extra box as its a waste or bad to not use an extra box as the Lego might get crushed?  I'm guessing the crushed one??

Always ship in a box, pack well, don't use an oversized box, and assume you are sending to a collector every time.  Pristine boxes are preferred, otherwise provide a detailed description of the box condition in your listing.

 

I personally prefer the wrapped in paper method, myself.  It always seems to create great conversations with your buyers when they receive it.

That's some Grade A+ trolling. Always ship in a box. I'd say always ship in a nice looking box, reused is ok but make sure it isn't ratty or crushed.

It wasn't helpful but it was funny. Always ship in another box. Period.

Don't be cheap - ship how you would want to receive.

I've been super sick for the past few days, so I haven't had the concentration to do anything. I meant to keep updating, but it's really hard to type anything useful on my kindle

It should have been helpful and it was funny- no one likes to receive anything crushed- the fact that you asked means you have much to learn young grasshopper. Don't worry- the folks on this forum provide lots of good tips and advice.

It's settled!  Gold bars for cushioning.  Now who wants to sell me some stuff?

Sound advice.  Equivalently, try to ensure your packing is done better than LEGO Shop at Home, K-Mart, and (frequently) Target.

I thought exciter just shipped wrapped in TP with his "signature" bow

It's soft and recyclable.

Traffic on EBay blew up on these today.  I sold 6 @ 64.95 by dinner time.  I raised my price to 67.95 and sold another.

According to FBA sellers it is . They are constantly undercutting each other . Price down to low 66.xx 

So much for November 17 dropping a bomb on the seller numbers.

I always find these peak in the first couple of weeks of December than middle of November

Agree they’re touching £30 on eBay now, should be £40 in 10 days or so as online store supplies dry up.  Not vast profits, but I picked up mine at ~£15 each, so worth the punt.

Yeah, no kidding.  Doesn't seem like anything changed.  What gives?

A bunch of people waited for the FBM sellers to leave before posting their FBA stocks.

Seems like a lot of sellers with poor ratings, and profiles that were just released are still on there.  So, i'm not positive the reset has taken place yet.
