Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Expand 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

Expand Nope not a typo, I didn’t want to sell the last 1 on the listing so jacked the price up from $38 to $99 but the power of Promoted listings. I checked out the buyer and looks like they can afford it but will see if I get a return once they see what is in the box. Quote

Expand My wife looking over my shoulder read this thread with me and says “congratulations for forking someone.” In all seriousness though, it is still being sold for $10 on Amazon?

Expand Sometimes I think it is not good too charge this much (smaller speed champions e.g.) because all orders by uninformed buyers (who are a lot during Xmas) will be returned, because they think they got ripped off. Anyone has experience based on data what ist doable with RRP of 10$,20$? For me 10$/€ max is 50€, more likely 38-45, 20€ range from 70-85€, 30€ is 70-120, so roughly 4x max. 2 1 Quote

My_own_2_bricks Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Just sold one for $240 in the last few days, very glad I held back sending more in Q4. These are the type of sets that thrive in Q1-Q3 = $$$$. $260 is my new floor, thanks for the info. 1 Quote
Justy6969 Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Wish I had held onto mine for a while longer. Managed to finally sell my last Classic Batcave minus box, vehicles and figures for £70. Quote

The tie fighter helmet was only sold at sah and two other retailers here. Quote

cladner Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 $11 away from 5x msrp. i still gotta few. 4 Quote
gmpirate Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 Mine have been selling at $290. Slow drip, but since there are few sellers . . . Crazy. I pretty much still have my whole stash. Really curious what's the limit going to be on this one. Quote
coelian Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 I just sold another one for 259, the previous one was 196. I got a feeling buyers are having fomo with more helmets on the way and trying hard to complete the set. I had only a few iron man helms and those did pretty ok too. Bought at 30 ish and sold for 150. 1 Quote
Bricklectic Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 I've been rebuying at 250 as much as I can....this one is going to the moon!!! 1k by Q4 possible..... jk, but I do think this ends up at 500 eventually Quote

Pseudoty Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Had to get in on the “Helmet Madness” waiting for $350 to sell more not sure if and when we will see $500 but the 3 new helmets will be bringing in a lot of new buyers. 1 Quote
Popular Post Captain_Obvious Posted February 10, 2023 Popular Post Posted February 10, 2023 Man, I hate seeing this discussion. I gave away 76165 and 75274 to guys at the office. 75274 is on the ground next to his trash can, literally. I found out 76165 was returned by the other guy's wife for God knows what at Target. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away: I'm so close to switching out 75274 with a bottle of Jack and telling him, "I replaced that stupid toy with something you really wanted.." 1 9 Quote
