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...
mizeur Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Party's temporarily over on 70612, Amazon's back in stock at $40. And eBay sellers decided that the set selling for $65-80 was just too much profit and tanked the price to $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 20 hours ago, Val-E said: 3 sets appear to be wrong from out German friend´s list; Krennics, U Wing and 21134 Minecraft. They aren´t on the US list either, whereas they do have Heartlake Amusement Rollercoaster and Vacation Getaways. I guess things will eventually work themselves out to parity by the summer. I seem to recall that 41126 Heartlake Riding Club was also on that famous list, but so far I've not seen this set get the Retiring Soon label in Europe. It is Sold Out in the US though, which could signify an official retirement in 2018. Kinda vague though ... Regarding Doctor Who ... There are still people here offering it for RRP (€65) at Marktplaats which is deterring me from listing mine. I'd like to get a better profit margin than a mere 30% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Like others, a number of sales in the lead up to Xmas: 1. T-Rex Tracker for about £60 profit after costs. My last JW set. This line has been a great earner (especially IR), but with the new sets around the corner, good time to get out. 2. Also got rid of all the recent freebies from SAH (VIP promo, nutcracker, 24 in 1, Gingerbread and Xmas Tree) clearing about £300. 3. Sold a few more Dr Who's (just have a couple left, just in case), making about £20 on each because of low buy-in - Like what was said above, too many of these out there and can't see this going up too much in the near future. Rather bank the money and re-invest elsewhere 4. Sold all my Dr Strange and Darth Vader for a small loss. Remakes on the horizon, so time to bail. 5. Sold a few of the recent minecraft sets that have been retired and already have a 120% return, given low buy in and scarcity. Will be interesting, whether this upward trajectory will continue in 2018. If not, still happy with a return in such a short space of time.

Right about getting rid of the Vader buildables but it may have been worth holding on DSSS as the new one has a much higher price point. I guess it depends on buy-in but mine were half price so I´ll wait a bit longer. Also sold all my JW stuff as these sets do best at Xmas time when parents are obliged to pay a premium. The new sets from the next film meant they will probably not appreciate much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'm happy to make £15 on something that takes a few minutes to pack. Rinse and repeat 10x a day and you're nearly earning the average wage. Not bad for working an hour a day as long as you can sustain the turnover. If it's a large joblot of 100+ sets which needs no packing or time, £5 each will suffice. Today... Some Doctor Whos for £45 cash each. Cost £22 each from Asda.

Sprocket77 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Not really a sale, but I swapped 1 of my 3 Tumblers for a new Sandcrawler 75059. Reduces my Tumbler inventory for a pricier set so happy enough with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
