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...

These people are the same as the early adopters who gotta have it as soon as it's released no matter what the price. Congrats on the sale! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. But the opposite is also true, at least for me. I have been sitting on some of those dogs for way too long. But of course as if to mock me, when I finally sold some of those dogs last Christmas, the prices spiked just 3 months later thanks to the lockdown Example: 9516 Jabba's Palace. Sold for $250 in late December, it went to $350 in March-April 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could barely offload them for retail in Dec. Now they are almost $750 on Amazon. Edited June 18, 2020 by Dark Helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarleyMoose Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Damn, I really haven't paid much attention these few months. I guess it is time to start digging some out. Still hanging on to my SSDs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Yes, the fact that I am running low on Death Stars and Tower Bridges (after all this time collecting dust) truly brings a euphoric sense of being reborn. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusiKyle Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Learned my lesson on the Treehouse. Net loss $10. $50 shipping killed me (offered free). Not going to offer free shipping anymore, will account for it in the price, and hope for more local sales with less costly shipping. Generally I do well on shipping as I'm in Iowa so positioned in the midwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far for me Star Wars, Vehicles, and Modulars, and HP, Fairground sets, now pirate ships and trains. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on bundling mine with my Saturn V's when I begin to sell them. I figure that's the only way I'll be able to move my WoN without taking a loss on them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
