Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Expand 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

Also, margins should be calculated using centimetres, not inches. Quote

Indominus RexSale Price 189.00S&H&Fees - 44.66Purchase price - 102.33Gross profit - 42.01 US per set or a 41% return for a 4 week hold.T-Rex TrackerSale Price 105.00S&H&Fees 26.04Purchase Price - 52.54Gross Profit - 26.42 US per set for a 50% return for a 4 week hold. Could have squeezed an extra 3 dollars by shipping smart post but that adds a trip to Fedex. This isn't really enough profit for me on this set, based on the work involved, so I bumped my price up and will hold for later. AquanautsSale Price - 99.00S&H&Fees - 24.37Purchase Price - approx. 30 (have to check my database)Gross Profit - 44.63 US for a 148% return on a 3-4 month holdDarth VaderSale Price - 130.00S&H&Fees - 22.59Purchase Price - approx. 45 (have to check my database)Gross Profit - 62.41 US for a 138% return on a 4 month hold. Profit may be reduced by $10.75 if I have to pay when I cross the border next time. Thank you for your concern What are the Aquanauts and Darth Vader? I like the margins listed Quote

I like the margins listed of course now the way to do that is 1. buy the delorean LEGO 21103 2. Go back in time 3. buy whole lot of "Aquanauts" and "Darth Vader" 4. instead of landing in 2015 go to 2030 sell them for 20X or 30X. buy **** load of whatever is cheaper gold, platinum or uranium 5. Come back in 2015 and enjoy life with the new found wealth 1 Quote

October of 1970 wouldn't be a bad date. Invest $10,000 in the IPO of a little store named Walmart. Present day value of those shares? $130,000,000 (yeah, that's millions). Quote

OK, ok. Jump to 1980. Same $10,000 would still be worth north of $50 million. Plus $100k/year in dividends alone. I hate that my parents weren't in the stock market. Quote

I hate that my parents weren't in the stock market. my parents were not rich to have stocks. they could barely put food on the table and send 3 kids to school. http://www.dollartimes.com/inflation/inflation.php?amount=10000&year=1970 says $10k in 1970 is equivalent to over $60k so that's a lot of money by 70's standard to put in stock market. { for my parents .... of course if they were able to then we won't be having this conversation } Quote
