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...

I had a couple of emails today for extra sets that eBay buyers wanted so I just "dealed outside" and quoted them with Special Delivery. They bought/paid immediately so I'll need to head to the post office for the last time at 15:00 (last collection at 15:30). It's now too late for First Class and most couriers. Due to the vast amount of competition, NOV/DEC hasn't really been that good for me on eBay this year. Sold today (30min ago)... 2x 10228 Haunted Houses for £300 each and 1x 10197 Fire Brigade for £275, both posted Special Delivery. That's it... Boxes, tape, airbag machine and bubble-wrap can now be put away until the Spring. Edited December 22, 2016 by TabbyBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Definitely been a poor month compared to previous years. My items sold on EU ebay above 50 euros filter has been really easy to follow, sometimes a single page covers 2 day. Last year it barely covered all the RE´s that were being flipped. 75105 is in plentiful supply in shops and there are a glut on ebay that are unsold too.

I sold two of mine in the summer for £320 each (+shipping and PP fees) and am still holding 4 but don't really know how high they can go.

iahawks550 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Sold another Train Station for $90 on Ebay with free shipping (this time only $8.50 USPS). I never would have thought about listing these if it weren't for posts above! I definitely need to buy some more of these at similar buy-ins ($41) for next Christmas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 LOL - 1x 10225 R2-D2 for £450 cash! I thought the guy was mad but, that's what I was offered and he needed it today! For that price, I even boxed it for him and then covered it with Star Wars wrapping paper! A present for his 70yr old dad apparently. Happy to oblige and take his money of course! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martae54 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Not a HOMERUN but they all don't have to be . Helped out some friends of mine Today: sold a MF 75105 and TF 75101 for $175 (they are parents buying for their boys) They were thrilled with the price. My buy in: Falcon $95 on Ebay w flash $15 coupon and $38 for the Tie at summer WM clearance. (both boxes were not in collectible condition). Felt good to make "little Timmy and Tommys" Christmas ! Happy Holidays to all you fellow brickpickers! Edited December 23, 2016 by Martae54 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMF 5 Lizard Man x1 $17.98 ($4 buy in) Hoth Attack x2 $17.48 ($10.00 buy in) Demolition Site x2 $62.98 ($43.00 buy in) 75036 Utapau Troopers x1 $15.98 ($5 buy in) Volcano Jackhammer Polybag x3 $5.48 ($3.23 BI) Tie advanced polybag x10 $2.98 ($2.18 BI) Resistance X-wing MF x2 $6.98 ($3 BI) SW BP 7913 x1 $21.98 ($0 BI) Hovercraft Arrest x1 $34.98 ($20.38 BI) Arctic Outpost $37.48 ($30 BI. Not proud of this one) Space utility Polybag $4.98 ($3.73 BI) Jungle Raider x3 $21.98 (7.70 BI) Spaceport x1 $79.98 ($54 BI) Una Uniter of Earth x1 $15.98 ($3.50 BI) Faran and the Crystal Hollow x4 $8.98 ($5.10 BI) Pop Star Recording Studio x3 $9.98 ($7.70 BI) Elves Treetop Hideaway x7 $29.98 - $31.98 (Kept restocking this and the kept on selling. Nice quick flip at $8-11 BI) Hydra Fortress Smash x2 $38.98 ($24 BI) Police Mobile Unit x1 $29.98 ($21 BI) City Garbage Truck x5 $15.98 ($8.44 BI. Stock-roomed my remaining stock of this when everyone started scrambling for it. A few people got lucky) Shadow Troopers x1 $10.98 ($9.90 BI :/) $300 worth of assorted collectable minifigures. I know the returns aren't as amazing as what some of you get, but with limited space I am quite happy with the results (My main selling point is pricing below RRP on a lot of my inventory. Buyers save money, I make money. Win win.). My personal savings account finally reached a major goal last week, my backroom of long term holds is almost full, and new orders keep pouring in. Saving up for the huge clearance bonanza post Christmas and only ordering from Kmart on already purchased giftcards (Which should be depositing 50K SYW points after Christmas). Yippie! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

220sports Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I listed a bunch of sets on Craigslist the other day. Got a text last night at 3am about the Scooby Mansion and Mystery Machine. Guy came this morning and gave me $160 cash for both. I'll take it. I needed $$ as the December specials killed my wallet!! Buy in- $80 and $25. $55 profit and I have two more of each. They should do well this year. Sucks I didn't buy more this month when marked down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
