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...

feed Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Finally the last of my 7347: Highway Pickup. Picked them up at 50% a couple of year ago and they’ve gone nowhere, unloaded them at cost + change. Marginal profit but glad to rid of them. At least summer is good for unloading dead stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least summer is good for unloading dead stock. that's probably because of the supply in US that kept the prices low. i believe it was offered as a free set with $99+ purchase @ TRU few years ago. there were lot of people who snagged 50+ exclusives and got 50 copies of this set for free 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenxxx Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Was out driving a couple days ago, looking for any B&N "$2 leftovers"... came up with nothing. Stopped in a Target and picked up 2 complete sets of Series 8 Mixels. Sold one on Amazon for $99.99, and just sold the other on eBay for $83.99 (buyer in Italy). I figure each set cost me about $51 with tax (and gas money), so I ended up with maybe $35 in total profit, after fees. I was kind of sweatin' it... matching the low BIN on eBay... if I can find them, I'm sure more are coming to eBay soon, so I wanted to get rid of mine quick. Looking at the eBay listings, you'll see another Brickpicker who has done much better than I selling these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even bought some sets on Friday night and sold them on Saturday. A few notes about the sale Friends were a hot seller. Girls really liked those and having a selection was important. Duplos also were another hot seller – could have sold more if I had them. I sold CHIMA!!!! - $281 worth. It was nice to move some of that. Enough to almost cover my sand crawler. Now that is an upgrade in my mind I ran for three days this year. Last year I ran for two and since it went so well I increased it to three days this year. Super hero sets did not sell this year. Last year they flew off the shelves. Never assume what will sell. Have a selection so they can go through everything. Collector sets hardly ever sell. Really, only sold two sets that reached “collector status” in both years I have done this. You can sell current sets if the price is right (falcon, shuttle, etc.) So, anyway I took my profit and put it towards the family vacation and started to reinvest the original investment. So far – I have purchased three brick bounties from a local mom and pop shop that still had them at retail (99.99) per, a sand crawler (which I bought for May the fourth), a Tyridium shuttle, a deep sea helicopter, a rhino vs. sandman, nether fortress, desert outpost, general Grievous, batboat harbor pursuit, helicopter pursuit (2), and a boulder blaster. My moral, if you can do it, those small sets do payoff if you can sell them en masse. My second garage sale allows me to do it. Not everything has to be sold as small sets but if you sell 50 of them then that profit and effort is worth it. My second moral, if someone is willing to buy Chima – Sell it!!! Sell it quick and when they come back to buy another $100 worth of chima don’t let them see you do the “I’m selling my Chima happy dance.” - JUST SELL IT!!!! In case you were wondering 60117 was given to my wife to give to a friend. I counted it as a sale but hat is why it is a Zero 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sub sale was Friday and Saturday. I added in the Thursday. There were 100s of people that came through. I really could not guess how many people came through but if I had to throw a number it would be 500 or more quite easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoray01 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Also, for accounting purposes, I classified my sale to the highest priced item I bought. (i.e. If I sold a starbalster fighter for $15 and I purchased one for 10, one for 12 and one for 14. I classified the sale as the one I paid fourteen for.) This way I keep the lowest cost items still in my inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoray01 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I also give away a poly bag with a $75 purchase. Usually I get those for 1.50 to $2 a piece and I also sell 10 of them for $4 a piece so this is a wash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
