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...
exciter1 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I wish I had that many! I've only got 2 left (started with 6). Still trying to decide whether to raise the price a little or pull them off and hold till Christmas. What are you raising price to? I might raise to $65 or $70. If they sell, great! If they don't, I still have my stock for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Sold a few Unikitties from the Cloud Cuckoo Palace. I feel like she is the Boba Fett of The Lego Movie. Yeah...that's right, I just compared Unikitty to Boba Fett. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I've been selling Rapunzel polybags, and Stephanie/Emma polybags (together as a set). I've also been selling minifigs that I've been parting out, mostly Star Wars Clone Troopers. Dropped off six packages at the post office this morning (a one day record for me), after making sales between yesterday morning after I got to work, and this morning when I left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I made my first sell on ebay today. I accepted an offer which was a bit below my asking price. I send my bank details to the buyer as well (through ebay). My question is: Do I need to send the set right away tomorrow or do I need to wait till the money has arrived on my bank account first?

Since you are new to ebay your funds will not be available for a couple of weeks (or less). Don't worry once they paid through PayPal you will get your money.

weakside Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Nice busy weekend for a small time reseller like me, M. Falcon (9765), Weathertop, Catwoman and Wolverine Chopper. Made some nice margins/ROI overall on these relatively recent sets. Including shipping a buyer paid $90 for the Wolverine - nice. Down to my last one...will keep it for personal collection. Knocking myself when I could of picked up 15 more at retail price just 1-2 months ago, good money maker. Nice to clear some inventory. I'm not a buy and hold type...so good to get some funds back and pick up some big sets in April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weakside Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Been slow this week, just a pairb of minifigures. Sold another chrome TC-14 minifig...easy to pack but had to visit the post office again today (figure, the sooner the better). $1.50 postage in bubble envelope. Still can't believe it costs +$10 for tracking/insurance on this (using Canada Post) - yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holleman67 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just sold a Robbie house, was posted for 4 hours. I think I priced it too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 4 of them were "free" since I got them through cancelled orders on shop@home, so I had no problem flipping them now (and keeping one for myself), $60 in my pocket with no effort. No effort, eh? I guess you didn't have to order the items, receive them, list them, package them, then ship them. And I guess you also didn't have to do whatever type of bookkeeping you do for those four sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holleman67 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 What did you have it priced at? $215 with free shipping, the box was banged up pretty bad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 There are ones on ebay for less but, that does seem a little on the low side. At least you sold something and I'm guessing you still made a little on it. I haven't moved anything today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migration Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sold an X-Wing Starfighter (9493) for $32.51. Auction. That was a mistake. The best tip I've gotten off this site was to use BIN. I will still do an occasional auction for some hard to price items, but I find at least 90% of my listings are BINs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickerbrack Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah i have two others that have been sitting at BIN for two weeks, so i gambled. Still made money, but the bidding war never materialized. Was hoping for more near $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that normally BIN is priced higher, I guess buyer would pay a bit more to get it right now instead of waiting for auctions to end. However, I do get the excitement from people bidding on my auctions, so I still do it now and then, but just less often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
