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...

Cheese Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 A few sales this past month. Some highlights include:1) Sold a Fairground Mixer for £175. Buy in was £90 from TRU and was with £1 FVF so cleared just under £70. Probably should have held since can see more people wanting this now that this is a proper theme.2) got rid of my last original Vader Constraction set by bundling it with. General Grevious. Cleared about £10. Glad to be rid of it.3) sold another IST for £90. Luckily buying was only £42, so still cleared £35. I’ve learnt from this set not to buy sets with large boxes due to increased shipping costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboy61 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Sold my first Lego set today. Sold my MISB Red Five for $290 on the bay. The price was about the going price, but it sold fast (a little over a day). Hoping I don't get a SNAD case or anything (I wasn't to keen on selling it on eBay, but hopefully, it will go ok). After I sold it, I noticed that eBay had put up a flat $10 final value fee promo the day after I listed it and didn't send me a message (they screwed up the last $10 promo by notifying us after it ended the last time). Those weasels... Edited June 2, 2018 by bigboy61 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derricku Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sold a LEGO Friends Heartlake Grand Hotel 41101 - damaged box. $168 Ebay. Maybe listed to low since it sold 5 minutes after listing. Sold to a drop shipper --> Portland (Buyer is from China). Grand hHotel was my first real investment purchase. I bought 5 at 64 bucks. Flipped the first 4 for around 100-130. Thought I'd keep one to build. But saw what it was going for. As Phil said it is so much easier to buy than figure out a way to sell. 2 years in - I think I've figured out what lego I like collecting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) The coupon got stuff moving today. Sea Cow 335 (buy in 200), Fire Brigade 380, Tie Fighter 200 (buy in was 90). Few big technic sets gone too. Only thing left is a Hoth I got when amazon blew them out, prob need to be below rrp to move it. May try to get some more listed before the sale ends. I'm not buying for investment anymore, just selling down. Bring on more sales ebay! Edited June 6, 2018 by marcandre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatttcat Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Sold a Hogwarts Castle 4th edition and Burrow for $340 after fees and everything. Buy-in was a used lot for $120. $220 profit AND fun builds, so that's a plus! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Recent activity below. This year has been quite steady and helped by a number of eBay FVF offers.1) Sold my last Dr Who for £50. Wasn’t mint, hence price. Buy in was only £22 and cleared £20. Glad I didn’t go large like some others. 2) Sold another Minecraft Wither for £55 with a buy in of £20. Not bad for a set that only retired six months ago. It’s the only Minecraft set that is selling for me. Should bode well for Xmas for the remaining inventory. Glad I cleared these out at my local TRU when they were going for 33% off.3) Sold a few 60th anniversary promos for £25. I was going to keep these in cold storage thinking that these will do well in a few years time, but given that past promos are starting to be sold in store at Lego, can see this coming back soon and prices being being held back.4) Bought a joblot of 12 Ahsoka Tano minifigures from the Rebel Combat Minifigures for ave £12 buy in a year ago. Sold me last one recently. Ave sale was about £23, so about £10 profit per figure. Was hard work and took too long. Never doing minifigures again!4) Finally sold a few Wonder Woman Battle Sets. Despite limited supply and being a TRU exclusive, this was no ant man as many people predicted. Luckily my buy in was low at ave £15. manage to get some sales at £32, so still manage to turn a profit.5) Sold my last Dr Strange for £30. Just broke even after fees. Decided to cut my losses on this set, since it was doing much and cleared out the few that I had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizeur Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Took a break while I moved. Some odds and ends, though: Last Ekimu for $100. Last StarScavenger for $40. Buy-in was $12. Jungle Tree House for $115, buy-in was $33. 4x Easter Egg Hunt for $60. Buy-in was $8. Flipped 30x sand baseplate lot for $250, buy-in was $150. Moving casualty Rebel Combat Frigate for $100+shipping on BL. Buy-in was $66 during last year's sale + 15% off coupon. Should've bought more even without the extra 15% off. And packed this one differently. Also managed to get rid of almost all of my non-LEGO B&N clearance. Edited June 22, 2018 by mizeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that it is a combination of hoarders being put off by PS and (imo) PC is a much nicer- looking set for display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these guys would be dead ducks after the rerelease, guess not.Yes, but that’s on FBA, we’re not allowed to use that as a pricing reference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
