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 remember when I felt like I was giving away GEs in Christmas 2015 for $280 with eBay seller fee promos. Going rate was $300 on eBay. Amazon FBA is showing some life, though. Sold 4 at that price relatively fast. Bumped to 305 or 310, see what happens. My buy in was 100 and 130 so I'm happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting it to be hovering around $400 by now .. on the brighter side number of sellers is on the decline , then again last time I said that it went up by 50 something .

Zelgazra Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I assume this is CAD? Aye. When you actually run the numbers with fees and taking out the various shipping, I only did about 35% gains. But the shelf space I cleared up for more recent purchases otherwise sitting on the floor....priceless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 35% is pretty good - sure beats putting your money in the bank!! Aye.

Zelgazra Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 35 minutes ago, seapotato said: 35% is pretty good - sure beats putting your money in the bank!! Sure, of course. But when I compare that to my 2016 annual total of 161.30% ROI it pales pretty quickly. A lot of that awesome ROI is attributed to selling stuff from my personal childhood collection though, calculated at $0 Buy In.... so I expect my margins to trend down quite heavily in 2017 as I progress further into selling sealed sets I picked up when I started out. I agree though, way better than the bank! More entertaining too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirborneAFOL Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Sold the last of my 75135 Obi Interceptors...16 total, avg buy-in of $10.50.Sold via eBay, $26-32.50 w/ free ship (throttling price upwards as my listing climbed to top of search results).= $105 net profit after all fees/postage/etc.Probably left a few bucks on the table, but was happy to QFLL them within 10 days of having acquired them.Sad to see the run of them end. First time I've been 10+ deep on a SKU, and gotta say, its been an awakening. Way easier than messing with 2-4 of a SKU, and waaaay easier than my typical parting-out (minifigs vs vehicles) approach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope those don't get returned; lots of folks "miss" the microfighter label and realize they've bought the micro instead of the full size. Best of luck!

Quit cursing lol!I sold 7x Supergirls @ $70 and 33x Swear words between $50-59, though most at $51. Not all today, but in the last couple weeks. FBA pre-undercutters on the swear words. If any of you are undercutters, they sold just as fast at $50 as I'm sure they do at $40... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of you are undercutters, they sold just as fast at $50 as I'm sure they do at $40...I still have 5-6 swear words left, but no more supergirls to match them with. On eBay they only go for $15-20 alone. Even on BL I've only been able to go $20 for a green arrow. And why is G A bleeped out? Is it a new curse word? And why 3* for a 2 letter word?Edit:: I stand corrected. I just checked *** sold prices, and looks like they're trending about $25 these days. I'll post my last few when they get around $30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
