What Lego set did you sell today and for how much?

  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"

errrr.... was not aware of that   have to check that one out.  the older pink buckets did very well.  i think people just like these big containers for something for storage.  i'm clearing my stock out at this price and this velocity and moving on. 

i also sold a super stinker today - Superman Black Zero escape - i had the lowest price on amazon for like the last 8 months and i've sold 2.  today i sold one for $22 including shipping.  i paid $12 and still will end up eating like $1.50 after fees etc.  i should just part this set out - its never going to amount to anything.

The CL lady that bought my Batcave was interested in this as well.  I couldn't offload it at $10, which would be breaking even for me.  This has got to be up there for worst licensed set ever.

1x 70810 Sea Cow for RRP £169.99 - When I opened the box from LEGO there were 2 not just the 1 I ordered so therefore £169.99 profit! It was a long time since I purchased it so I thought... sod it, lovely jubbly. Just as well becasue this hasn't appreciated as much as expected.

Whoops. Wasn't watching my inventory over the holiday weekend. Sold my last The Mine on BL for $130. I'd been inching it up every month as the price has risen. Trying to make sure I wasn't the cheapest. Turns out $130 is now the lowest with some selling at $140. Ah well. To a happy home!

Minecraft the Mine or City the Mine?

Shouldn't speak for@donbee but I assume Minecraft The Mine.

I've topped out at $155 on eBay so far. Trying to inch up to $165. Wish I had a Tabby load more of these.

[Phil B]

$130-$140 on BL, excluding shipping, is a great price. On par or better than $165 on EBay, with free shipping ($165-$15 to ship - $20 in fees = $130 as well). I might add a few of mine to BL

No you don't as I have none at all. I assume it's CITY not Minecraft? I've only had CITY Mine and sold them all for 2x soon after EOL as I had them at -50%.

Ha. Took the Tabby name in vain.
Mean wish I collected 100 of Minecraft The Mine.

I think in general the US crowd got these at -50%+ at Barnes & Noble clearance back in the spring.

[jaylay]

Sales took. An uptick this past weekend. But today sold 2x Delorean $120 ea. Time to raise the price.

[donbee]

Sorry, it was Minecraft. Forgot there was another. 
Luckily, I found another today, buy in $80. I'll hold out until $150.

I'm trying to get out of holding on to large sets.
Takes up too much space. It's a big box, and needs a bigger box to ship.
So... I'll cash out on them this Christmas =)

Wish I could do the same with all these Super Hero ships I have (Darkseid, Milano, Blackbird....)
I'm not optimistic.

Set a CM record today. 397 orders shipped.  
Guess LEGO is still popular...

Are sales always good on CM for you?

Pushed through a Death Star 10188 for $480 on eBay, free ship. Bonus, the buyer lives 2 hours away, so shipping is only $10 Priority.

[gregpj]

I guess I'm the lowest price on ebay.ca for Raptor Escapes at $120 plus shipping (from $12-18 so far). Not quite what you guys down south are getting for them on Amazon, but they're selling like hot cakes in a TRU parking lot. They sat and sat all summer long.

I'll have to dig them all out and count how many are left... my listing says "only 2 left!" but I know that's not true.

yeah always a strong weekend year in and out.  Think last year was about 280 for that weekend.  So pretty big increase.  Have some high volume of a few products this year that I had been building up from some Amazon loads so that had some to do with it.  For the most most part I am consistent throughout the year and a lot depends on the deals I have coming in.  June was our highest sales month this year and I won't come close to that even in December.  Roughly do 100 orders a weekday and 150ish on weekends throughout the year with some spikes here and there.  

Just took a look and sold 2017 items Nov 2015 versus 1603 so far this month but sales are up 3k this year with 1.5 days left

Managed to get rid of my GOTG Milano Spaceship Rescue over BF weekend

£90 from a buy in of £42

Wanted to get rid before a new one comes out with the new film. 

Not sure I'll get as lucky with Knowhere Escapes.

[Forsaker]

They just retired the set a month ago. No way a new Milano spaceship is coming out in three months.
