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...
Huskers1236 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Over the last week sold my used Jurassic World sets ($325), 40079/40109 combos x2 ($60), and a City 60014 Coast Guard ($95). Got most of my money back on the JW sets, obviously pure profit on the freebies, and about a 50% return on the 60014. Too bad they are bringing CG out again this summer, wanted to give that one a year more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Those Batman Battle Pods just keep going up!Last time I went, I only grabbed one because there wasn't $30 worth of SW I wanted at RRP. I wasn't sure I'd get $30 for it, let alone $40! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 R2 poly for $25 shipped eBay. Sold it while I was driving home from the Lego store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukiepete Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I sold 2x 10240, one MISB for 320 Euros, the other used for 200 (I bought it used for 140) cash in hand. For some reason, lots of interest this week in good ol' Red 5. Maybe an uptick in Europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrymc4677 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 This morning I sold a used / complete 4842 Hogwarts Castle for $305/shipped on eBay. I purchased it a couple of weeks ago for $150 off of my local Offerup. I also purchased a used / complete 4195 Queen Anne's Revenge for $150 from the same person. The Hogwarts covers the cost of my initial buy in on this transaction, so whatever I sell the Queen Anne for will be pure gravy. I love finding local deals like these, as few and far between as they are. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 That's great news on 4842, as well. I pulled one out of a bulk lot 2 years ago, and flipped it for $200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Skyra's castle $69 on BLGood. Only 8 more to go and mine becomes more viable. At last I'm no longer the QFLL from FL. Or at least I'm not the only one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least I'm not the only one. I got it really cheap from a closing KMart, months ago. It's like the 3rd time it's sold, the first 2 times to people who think I'm Amazon and can ship for free. Plus after last summer's WM clearances I had waaay too much stock, with only one small walk-in closet (where my clothes also live), I need to keep moving stock. I just try to pay for all my collection sets. Edited May 7, 2017 by TigerEyez 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Sold a Tumbler for £250. Buy in was £140 and with eBay £1 FVF will clear £90. Not out of this world but still a 65% return for a little over a year hold. Again all about buy in and minimising costs to maximise your margins.
