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...

Your tomorrow is only 3.5hrs away, JaP's tomorrow is another 12hrs (if I've got his timezone about right). So your wait is considerably shorter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelgazra Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Pays to reach out to OBOs! Had a little 6237 Pirate's Plunder listed for a while at $15.50. Got an offer in at $14 today. Had spent last night building up 6249 Pirate's Ambush and 6278 Enchanted Island for photos and listing today. Mentioned them to the buyer. Interest was generated and a deal hatched. Fired off some quick photos for her, made a couple quick listings and netted some cash! 6237 - $14 6249 - $72.25 6278 -$135.25 $255 shipped. Buy in of $88.60. Even after you calculate in shipping and fees... Classic Pirates for the win!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Sold the Nick Fury/Venom/Spider-man set for $50 CDN (twice what I paid for it), plus the Mr Freeze polybag for $30 (free giveaway) and the X-men set for $60 (paid $40), all on Craigslist. $75 profit off $65 expense in under a year, and the last 2 only took 4 months. As in baseball, you need singles and doubles to go with your grand slams to win this game. Love me my superheroes. They're....super.

About 4 months ago I went in and added some stock to a position on page 4 (assuming it wouldn't sell and i could adjust during Christmas). One day I woke up and three had sold. Have since dramatically increased it. Thanks for the advice. I'll be more patient with this set. I wasn't really sure what to expect but 120$ seems reasonable with how fast they are going.

Just check ebay in Europe to see how high these can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 A few recent sales on eBay (prices include shipping): Town Hall $585 Grand Emporium $328 (last one) Ant-Man $80 Haunted House $425 (sold within 30 minutes) Riddler Chase $43 ($14 buy-in) Arctic Batman $33 (paid retail at EOL so minimal profit) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Out of curiosity (maybe you have 50 of them), why sell the HH now? I will sell mine, but figured I would get an extra 20-30% in Sept/Oct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with the returns and its part of my overall investment strategy to sell a few now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said if Amazon has a sale you can only buy 2, On this set alone if you have the money invest $5,000 or so on it you won't regret it. $180 today, $400 a year after it retires and price will keep climbing. Good advice from back in the day! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Good advice from back in the day! Sometimes other items ascend at a greater pace, so turnover can be a valuable strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
