  1. SSD on amazon $999.99 + 12.99 shipping fee. buyer is only 3 states away. Raptor Escape + Gallimumus Trap combo for $104.49 on amazon. BTTF Delorean $95.48 also on amazon. sales have really accelerated out of nowhere. i was not the lowest price for these and they still sold. building up capital for some holiday promo splurge spending at shop at home. especially that gingerbread house. along with the candy and sweets, they might as well stick some of those green 1x2 flat tiles with the $100 printed on the side for good measure. ho ho ho - i love this time of year.

  2. I just made my first brick classified sale, a Death Star for $480. Ever since the no fees announcement I wanted to list a few things to support it. This sold within an hour of posting.

  5. What a load. Built it just to take pictures? Uh... there are plenty of professional pictures of it on the internet... we all know what it looks like. Oh... and you are "keeping the box and instructions"? Could it be that you bought it with no box or instructions? And that's why you felt the need to build it and get photos? That is not "new". That set is "used", and anyone with 200 minifigs for sale in his store should know that.

  6. related but different - a pet peeve of mine is Ebay sellers that include best offer on their listing and then refuse to negotiate within reason. I understand if you don't want to accept 10%-20% off - I tested the waters and couldnt match your floor. I'll move on and wish you luck. But if you're not willing to knock off 5% or even 2% of your asking price, maybe you shouldn't be using that feature. Maybe there's some secret psychology game going on here, but it seems to me like you're just cluttering up the landscape.

  8. I think this pretty much sums it up. A five year old boy (my son) watching Star Wars for the first time ever. The Death Star is... fascinating. When it is gone (whenever, if ever, that finally happens), just sit back and watch the prices skyrocket as this moment (pictured below) happens again and again all over the world.

  9. Just sold a Dynamic Duo Funhouse on Amazon for $100 CDN. Netted $80 after fees and shipping on a $55 purchase. Think I'll raise the price on my last one.

"My Wife and I bought this a while back and it sat in the box brand new, finally one night we decided to build it and then sell it. So this set is brand new we built it once basically for picturing for this listing then we took it apart and its been in its box ever since."

  13. Just had somebody offer me $185 on a 7965 MF open box listed at $215, with the note "you'll never sell an open box MF at this price, $185 is a fair offer." If you're on here, good luck selling your $1,500 UCS Slave-1

  19. Bricklink Bat-Pod! Total including tires and the Hero Facotry complete sets in order to get the pieces came to just over $115 and well worth it. Cannot wait to get this home and display next to Tumbler. The set is much bigger than I imagined too.

  20. I think I saw your ad. You're in Mill Valley, right? I was going to email you, but I'm in the Montclair area of Oakland and it just wasn't worth it for me to drive to you since I got two young kids. I really wanted to buy the Ferris Wheel, Mixer, BBT, and Ferrari.

  21. Ed simply indicated how he felt the dinosaurs were eliminated and I see nothing referencing Lego in that cryptic post... HOWEVER, if he redoes that post using Lego minifigures and a giant Lego meteor, then we have something to talk about!

  22. I always have this ad up http://raleigh.craigslist.org/tag/5242336174.html and usually sell 1-2 sets a month. Sold a GE last week and an SSD last month. It's really no trouble at all, just gotta ignore the lowballers.

  25. Hello and welcome. Posting to links is OK but be careful because if it's a good price you might generate more interest. There is a forum topic geared towards asking members about whether it's a good deal or not. It would be a good place to post questions about the set and the price. http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/9314-deal-or-no-deal-open-discussion/?page=1 If you have a specific set that you think may generate a lot of questions/follow up, then some members start their own topic in the Buying & Selling > The Deal or No Deal Forum.

  26. There could be a number of reasonable explanations. I usually have 1,000 or so listings - and I would almost always consider a reasonable offer, but there are occasions that I wouldn't. I always offer free shipping - so an offer on an in demand, larger set to a buyer in CA would cost a lot more to ship it there (so I would likely decline, as I know someone closer will want it). I also sell some small items (w/ free shipping) that would only be worth selling at the full price (since it is sold w/ free shipping). But if an international buyer makes an offer on the same item (and is paying for shipping), I would then consider a lower offer. The seller could also be trying to gauge the value of the item.

  37. Really? It would seem pretty logical from a business perspective to retire some of the older and larger sets, and replace them with newer and larger sets that are actually based on the new movie. It's not like kids are going to walk away from Force Awakens begging their parents to get them a set that is based on an entirely different movie or adults are going to walk away thinking "Gosh, those First Order badguys are really bada**, I really need to go pick up Ewok Village."
