The dilema is do I return or not. see if they'll give you any sort of discount for the damaged boxes (they probably will). It's a shame that stores like Walmart have very lax packaging policies so I think it's only fair to call them out on it when there's real damage to boxes they ship carelessly.

donbee Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Someone posted they had a big box of Star Wars Lego for $100 on CL. I inquired. Two days later got pics of a bunch of instruction books. Ran the numbers, not too bad. If complete and in good condition, looking at a $200-250 resale value. I'll try to negotiate. Requested pics. Three days later and after a lot of hassle (seller was not internet savvy) I got some blurry pics. I agreed to meet to see final condition. To begin negotiations, I complained that several of the key minifigs were missing, like Rey from her Speeder. Seller said she'd search. Then she said she'd throw in her kids bulk left overs. And I can build what I want from it. I said I'd check it out. Here's what I got for $100. I didn't have the heart to try negotiate down. Looks like she took advantage of her kids being on summer break and had them separate the minifigs and accessories and bulk Lego by color. As best they could. Around 50 minifigs, ~35 are in sellable condition. The rest are disorganized. A missing limb, chews hand, etc. several complete sets already built. And maybe 20lbs of bulk. I already identified Cade Banes ship. Excited to see what else. Check the help thread and help identify some of the sets please =) There is some non Lego in the bulk. But the star wars are in good condition. Save for the smell of cat piss =\ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelgazra Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 That is one smell that is very very tough to get out. Arguably harder than cigarette smoke even. Hope it's not all tainted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Now did you notice that before or after you bought it? I'm not allergic to cats but definitely to piss! Before. It could be baby piss. She had 3 kids under 5. But I think it was triggering some allergies. So I assume dog or cat. Soap and water worked on the minifigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Helmet Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 On vacation in Spain and found an antman final duel foe 30 euro. Not the best price but I should be able to move it back home for a small profit. Loving the low euro to usd rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Picked up 5 75100 First Order Snowspeeders at £20 each. hardly an overwhelming set and the RRP was ridiculous, but it’s 50% star wars, right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
