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...

midbenne Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Sold my creator townhouse 4954 for $180 on ebay, buy in was $40. Manuals, complete but no box. It was a great build and I was a little sorry to see it go but that's what we're here for...building and making money...so I got to do both...Tried to explain that concept to my 6 year old son...we need to understand that attachment should be kept at a minimum in the ultimate pursuit of profit. We also put a math lesson in there regarding $180 - $40 and fees and what not...good for everyone all around. This was probably the best buy I have had yet but on to the next 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanos75 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) I am the worst reseller in history. I usually only sell on Craigslist. I put an ad up a couple times a year. I keep it up for about a week and I move about $2000 or so. I have made some very loyal customers and have found some very good connections. One connection I made is a guy from another state that makes his entire living selling on Amazon. Last year he discovered Lego reselling and he has been a huge customer of mine ever since. This year alone he has bought about $6000 . That's why I'm the worst. I hate shipping and dealing with returns and fees and all that other stuff. So I sell to him so he can make the extra profit. We have an agreement. As long as he can make at least $10 after fees he buys it. I sacrifice a bit of profit for no headaches. I get to keep buying like a reseller and I also get to keep adding to my collection and it's stress-free. I love it.

Thanos75 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'm not really worried about being stuck with anything. If I can't sell a set then I just open it up and add the pieces to my storage bins and then add it to my city layout. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 10225 R2-D2 for £250 cash. 350 assorted polybags (freebies left over from newspaper promotions) for £500 cash. I've also made contact with an independent toy shop owner who will offer to buy the bulk of my "buyer's remorse" sets (mostly Friends crap) at cost which is still 60-75% off RRP.

I bought my large quantity by asking 8 work colleagues to become VIPs and order 5x in multiple orders. I took them all out for a drink and bought dinner as thanks. I also popped into every LEGO store I passed and bought the maximum I could (using cash!) as I knew they'd do well. The same with Mars Rovers even though I had a colleague in the US that was desperate to get rid of his (divorce) huge stash that I gladly helped him with.

TANV Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I sold the LEGO Disney Castle 71040 on eBay. The box was damaged but still sealed. A nice tidy sum of $430 plus about $23 shipping. Still, some profit to be made after fees and taxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
