Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Twas the night before Clearance And all through the aisle Steamrollers were packed Into my cart like a pile Exo Suits were hung In the storage with care Knowing that in a decade They still will be there Sergeant Jyn Erso was nestled Deep under my bed With terrible proportions And a face that looks dead Wonder woman in her armor And cheetah in her cap The lasso of truth will tell you That this set is pure crap When out on my doorstep A noise shook me awake ShopJustice still delivering Olaf Flat as a pancake Faster shipping than FedEx The turds as they came I cried and I pouted As I called them by name "Now, Dots! now, Mario! Now Lego Movie 1 and 2! On, Raiders! on, Mighty Dinos! On, Takodana and constractables too! To the depths of the dumpster! Stacked 50 feet tall Now throw away! throw away! throw away all!" Each year I make efforts To donate a bit more But Toys for tots sends a bill For returning them to my door Since I can't give them away I'll dig a big pit It's the final solution To get rid of this sh!t I shook as I laughed At the thought of relieving this pain It was nearly 3am So I looked quite insane As I poured the kerosene I cheered with delight "I'll light you on fire, So you're out of my sight" Edited December 7, 2022 by brickvoyeur 15 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenb99 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 ravenb99, do you use FBA ? If not, do you have people helping you pack that many sets ? No FBA, only ebay, I do most of it myself. Just have everything down (been doing it since 1999). Ship about 100-250 packages a day. Wish it was all LEGO but unfortunately it is not. Takes about 20 min to pack 25 advents so I love LEGO orders. The Amazon stuff we sell is not so quick. The mail truck was literally filled with advents the past 2 days lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenb99 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 the prices he stated are too low for FBA atm Correct, I monitor Amazon and price accordingly for Ebay. Yesterday SW Advents were $68-72 so sold at $60. Less fees for me but have to sell under Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenb99 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 SW Advent at $60? Is that with shipping? If so how are is it even worth the time. Even at $30 it's only $10-$15 profit. yes free shipping, have to nowadays to be competitive. $60-5.40 ebay - 1.50 pp - $8 average to ship = $45 Paid anywhere from $23-30 for the ones sold so far. So rougly $19 profit each. In volume it adds up well. Had I had them I could of sold approx 100-150 yesterday alone (based on how many I sold per hour). So yes it was worth the time. 1 listing and multiple sales without doing anything (other than buying the product over the last few months) and packing them which is very simple for these. The next batches will be sold higher as I have higher cost. I do not hold out for the very last rush on all products. First off its risky. Prices are never guaranteed to reach a certain level. They usually do but its not 100%. Secondly I don't like to be the one that sells that much bulk at $80 or so. You can run into more returns / possibly disgruntled customers from buyer remorse of paying $80 for a $40 set. At $60 your customers are happy as they didn't have to hunt around for it. Sure I'll sell some at the higher rates but prefer to do it this way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickonator Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Sold 9476 Orc Forge that I purchased at $30 for $150 + shipping. Probably my best ROI yet. It just about pays for my R2 I bought yesterday. Very Happy . Edited November 20, 2014 by Brickonator 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenb99 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Is eBay the best place to sell lots? I am not even sure how to do that on Amazon. I would like to group a few small sets together and sell them...just lacking direction. I would say ebay is great for lots. I usually do them by theme and do a lot of my clearance sets that way. They're usually sets that wouldn't be worthwhile selling by itself. I try to do them at $100 levels so i can clear at least $25. I'll do a bunch of different options and then relist as they sell. The $20 superhero sets are great for these. Most are $20 with 3 minifigs and can be bought for 12-$15. Can do 5 or more in a lot and do alright. Throw a matching theme polybag in also. Gives the lot a little bonus. Even larger lots do well. Sold a lot of t1 mini cooper and sopwith lots over the summer. All were in stock but could grind $75 per lot.

No More Monkeys Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Amazon stuff is starting to pick up. I had seven orders yesterday, the big one was a Heartlake vet for $139.Yep, Amazon knew what it was doing making November 18 the "magic" day. Stuff started moving that was sitting there for a while. And not because of unworthy sellers cut off. Stuff on eBay started moving as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenxxx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I just sold a 10242 Mini Cooper for $117 plus shipping. I bought it when they first came out, and never really liked it taking up space (and money) in my inventory. I sold the mini polybag that came with it a while back. Between the two, I figure I netted about $28 profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_14 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I bailed on my TIE's way too early. Never would have thought they would have taken off like this. They're regularly featured in the new Star Wars cartoon and there are no such sets in stores, not even for action figures. I'm dreaming of a Tie-funded Christmas......
