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...

CNH1974 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Slowest time for eBay sellers?I have definitely noticed a slow down on the vintage set line. My old space BINs are sticking. I have them set at average or slightly below but no bites. It's been like that since April time. I seem to remember that things picked around July last year. Having said aid that I listed a 7817 boxed for £45 and it sold in 12 hours. Auctions are mostly still selling, but at lower prices than BINs.

legodelorean Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Dude, cool down! You are making us all look bad. Now spill it....was this another CL deal? It sure was. I prefer to sell on Craigslist although a lot of people hit me up and then never get back to me. People are super flaky on there. If I start having trouble selling sets I'll probably put them up on eBay. I want to avoid fees and shipping costs as much as I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have a few of these so I'll be waiting until Oct-Dec to consider selling any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneknightr Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I let my personal feelings about how I thought the Delorean build looked awful get in the way of investing in that set. I guess nostalgia wins over how a sets look in this case. Dang. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to think of the overall appeal to buyers, not if I really like it or not. I bought a ToO and I don't like it at all. I think it's a good investment though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
