LOL another Sale!

Ebay NIB City 60000 Fire Motorcycle $8.00+ shipping. Only 10 or more to go. I believe buy-in was @$2.50/ea.

All I can add to that is ... 10248 Ferrari F40 $400 FBA (Buy in was $90). Was intended as a personal build but picked up a lot with a VW T1, a Mini Cooper, a Caterham and an F40 (all used w manuals) last year for ~$150, sold the Mini already, and now this sale makes them all free ...

 

Oh and sold an Aira and the Song of the Wind Dragon for $135 ... buy in was $19.

Moved some sets I thought would sit forever.

Finally sold my last star wars buildable figure, what a relief.

Bought these when I first started investing in 2016 /2017, I just saw the 50% off plus sign and thought how could I lose money! Boy did I not take into account things like:

- Set turnover rate (how many sell on ebay in a day)

- Set appreciation (I just assumed all lego would appreciate forever, I didn't research at all if the buildable figures would be sought after in the future).

Even though I managed to miss the real stinkers like rey / jyn erso, I still only barely sold over my buyin cost, most profit per set was a couple of pounds, not a loss but definitely one of the worst investments I've made.

I did managed to make money on the general gracious / jango fett.

The last wave of buildable figures proved to be very rare in UK, and I managed to buy some after they retired and the boba fett / darth maul sold for about 2x rrp.

Lesson learned, now hoping I can shift some of my old minifigure series, which I also didn't really think about, and rey speedors...

good to hear. i'm on my last one and hoping for similar. think you could have gotten more?

well, maybe... It was my last one. I had it at $475 and then upped it to 495 a few weeks ago. HE asked if I would take 450, I said no, and a week later he bit.  All in he was at $528. It was on a USA FB group for lego buying and selling.   Buy cost $260.

Silent Mary Ship 71042 - $360 ebay. Free Shipping.

I sold a number but my favorite sale was 60056 Tow Truck for a buy-in of 10.05 for $115 for a total profit after expenses of $78.91 or a return of 785%.  I don't have all winners but if someone told me I could turn $10 into almost $90 in five years - I would take it.  Bought in on March 9 of 2015.  

So today it was Mandalorian Fighter 75022 purchased on January 9 of 2015 for 15.04  

Sold for $120 for a total return of 574% after buy-in and expenses.  Plus the buyer combine shipping with two other orders so Shipping cost was lower on this one as well

But the low value one was a 75115 Poe Dameron buildable figure that I bought for 6.63 on August 3, 2016 and sold for $20 for a return of 7.69 or 116% after buy-in and expenses.  The combined shipping helped this one turn a profit. 

I just don't want anyone to think it is all great returns.  I have some slow movers I am shipping as well.  

   

First time selling in three years.  6949 sealed for $200 plus shipping.  Could have squeezed a little more but it was a freebee.

So for today...

Two little ones - Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers (75001) purchased on 2/132014 for 9.54 and sold for $40.  After expenses a profit of 20.33 or 213%

The second one - CHIMA!!!  Lion Tribe Pack (70229) bought for $5.01 on 8/8/15 and sold for $30.  After expenses a profit of 16.07 for a return of 320%  (A return of 320% and Chima in the same sentence - something you thought you would never hear!!!) 

Bought a U-Wing two years ago for $35, built it, displayed it, sold it last night used for $80 with $10 shipping on eBay.  Now it's time to tear it down, the less fun part.
