StarPod Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 This is more dedicated to those who buy sets for the purpose of parting out and reselling for profit. What sets do you feel bring in the best return? what is a typical return of parting out? 10%? 20%? im running out of capital and i do not want to sell off any of my retired sets yet but need to start making some money to get some more tower bridge and super star destroyer any suggestions is greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoBro94 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Me and BrickBabe are currently building an Arkham Asylum. I bought 76000 so she could have mister freeze. I'll atleast make my money back plus a few bucks on the other minifigs/bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I believe the R2D2 set is pretty efficient - it was in a review that I believe FCBarcelona did on it. It could have been someone else. I think Vampyre Castle can be pretty good because of thee minifigs. Lukes land speeder was, but its small profits - like 4-5 bucks.

When you part out does it move quickly? (with the 5$ profit margin) or will you be sitting on it for a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have a really really desirable minifigure, they can sit for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am not sure. I know it is a lot of work so he better be. I can't do it. I hate managing listings. I honestly only like buying expensive sets because I have to sell less later.
